I figured out how to open and close the wood claw, but now I have another problem, once I get the log in the claw it doesn't always want to come out. I have seen somewhere else that this is a problem. Does anyone know how to get the logs out, other than sell the claw?

you dont have to sell it, i do the following, simply lower it to the ground well away from the trailer or conveyor belt and disconnect the claw then reattach it, most of the time it will release the log it just takes patience and a couple of tries but it will work- thats after all the frustration of trying. the Wideman will rear up but don't worry that's normal.
Failing that sometimes bashing the log against a nearby tree works just as well- sometimes :)

LOL oh I have done that as well. You really do have to very patient with the claw, but I don't use wideman. I use the tractor and claw and wagon combination. Work very well this way. Oh make sure you put something like tipper underneath the chute for woodchips. You will definitely benefit it.

Thanks it worked. The only thing was that I was not thinking when I was unloading my logs into the sawmill and a log got stuck. I detached the claw and it just slid right up the conveyer belt and then it disappeared. I haven't tried to reset it yet, If it doesn't work i guess i will have to buy another one. I thought this was a weird happening. :shock: :shock: :shock: :hmm:
