You mean the one that looks like two fingers and a thumb? You just grab the log like a hand would. On my 360 controller it's RB+RS<- -> to move the "thumb", I think.

You use the Logfork together with a Frontloader attachment. One attached you can use LMB and/or RMB to control the Logfork. Before you purchase both of these tools make however make sure your Tractor has an attachment slot for frontloaders. The first Tractor than can do that is a New Holland one. Hope this helps you out :)

I you do get that one, get the large weight for the back, or else you'll tip over when you pick up a large tree :)

I had to learn this the hard way ;)

Also, small tip! Instead of throwing the logs right into the pond, deliver them to the small black/yellow marked zone next to the train at the lumberyard, it gives you the same amount of money too BUT after you've done some loading on the train you can hit a switch and send it off... and the logs on the train will make money too :) So you earn cash twice!

What do you mean, open it? You mean the "thumb"? How to extend it? I use a controller, but with m+kb, the controls should be written in the top left. It works like all the other front-loader accessories.

I know it is just awful to use either of them and the trucks sides are way to high even for a wheel loader. The teleloader can reach the hight needed easy, but you have to switch between the attachment and the loader to use it (do not know why they did it this way as it worked as one unit in 2013).
I found the only way was to ram the logs up against something so the forks could be forced under the logs, but even then the way they handle is so unstable.
Some form of grabber key would have worked better, get the forks against the log hit key log rolls onto fork and to lock it in close the grabber, would be more stable and would fix the logs do not have true weight when trying to pick them up problems.

I use the trailer with the crane and it is a pain too, but once you are used to it, it is faster than pushing logs all over the place for several hours at a time.

It's weird, so I understand your confusion. Just check the controls menu at the title screen and keep this in mind: when you want to operate the arm and tilt the fork, you have to select the vehicle with the back button. When you want to open and close the fork, you have to select the attachment with the back button. It's messed up, but after a while you get the hang of it.

Really? I'm not having to do that at all. Using the small NH tractor with the front forks and the log handler. Never have to press the back button to get both to work (forks are controlled with LB, the log handler with RB).

Holy crap, if that's true, then that's awesome. Thanks.

EDIT: Well what's happening with me is I am using the telehandler, and the rb controls the extension of the arm. So yeah, I have to switch.

On any but the telehandler you should not have to switch to the attachment to close and open the fork, but on the telehandler you have to switch as they have it set up very strangely.

Possibly too many controls to fit comforatbly on the controller without doing that "back" switch?

I know that FS15 is being released on consoles in the spring, so controller compatibility is a big issue for the devs.
