An apparatus for transporting elongated loads, such as logs, particularly in small scale logging operations, includes a longitudinally extending body and a transversely extending support member having a center portion connected to the body. Laterally spaced apart left and right legs extend downwardly from the center portion to weight bearing structure cooperating with lower ends of the legs to support the apparatus upon the ground. A load supporting device cooperates with the load and the body to support the load beneath the body. A restricting flexible tension link, for example a length of link chain, cooperates with lower ends of each leg and with a tensioning device which cooperates with the body and applies tension to the links to restrict the legs from excessive movement relative to the body. The apparatus has particular applications in skidding logs where conventional heavy duty skidders are inappropriate because of environmental or economic concerns. The apparatus is light and inexpensive and is towed behind a relatively lightweight recreational all terrain vehicle or snow vehicle.
