What is best loader to use on logging trailer?
I have the Liebhrr L 583 and logging attachment but it doesn really lift the attachment high enough and always get caugh on side of the trailer.

Are there any other loaders in game that can lift higher and carry a lot of logs?

I know the telehander would lift it high enough but they are so small and can't carry 3 or 4 logs?

Honestly I would recommend one of the larger tractors that can handle the Vero front loader tractor attachment. Yes, it can only take one large log at a time. What I do is park the log trailer as close as I can. The front loader on the tractor can easily clear the sides of the log trailer. Once you get the controls down you'll be scooping and loading logs very fast.

A agree the tractor loading is a great method. The larger loader forks are designed to pick up multiple logs only and don't work well. The best dedicated vehicle could be the one in the frontloader section of the shop. on a train, can't remember the name. it can handle the biggest logs cut to the length of the trailer. front loaders need a little patience to learn and gentle use of the throttle because of the weight. But do make sure you put a front weight on the back of the tractor 1100kg+

Thanks for the tips.

I was not sure what loader you were talking about should i leased them all. I assume your talking about the little green one that about same size of tractor.

Found the JCB Wheel Loader is a lot higher then the Liebhrr I have. It will work much better for me.

I also have the New Holland wheel loader giants released for download. It is a little bigger or same size as the JCB so that is also an option.

Literally you can use just a tractor that can accept front loaders. You might already own one. When buying a new tractor look in description...some of the medium duty tractors say "can attach front loader". When you buy the tractor make sure you select that option. Then just switch to the front loader tab and buy the front loader arms and a log claw.

Another benefit of this is the versatility of a tractor. If your short handed in the field, just detach the front loader arms and put it to work in the field. I find a good tractor is the best tool in the game...don't cheap out, spend the extra money on the better motor option, good wheels, and the front loader option.

Yeah found a tractor with a weight attached to the back to be much better than tele handlers and wheel loaders.

Yes that is the one. an option if you can afford a vehicle that doesn't need to go back to the farm each day.
