Does anyone have photos, diagrams, building plans for a small (D2/D4 ) size sulky? I have seen one for sale but it is much too large for my use. Any help will be appreciated.

Grant: Did you see the one on FBMarketplace? It looked a bit big for a D4, but it looked functional. Brett A. might have purchased it already, it was over in Georgetown I think. Doug and Matt Veerkamp have a gorgeous Hyster hooked up to an equally nice D2 logger at their museum that you could get ideas from. JM

I did see the one of FB market place, but it looked much too big for me. After seeing the photos you shared (I assume that is a D4) maybe it was not too big. Where is the Veerkamp Museum? Is that the huge building with the runway and tons of old equipment near Placerville? I think I may have been there long ago. I will probably build one, but I see an awful lot of welding on your photos and Deas Plants. Thank you both. Grant.

Hi, GrantJ.

  • If my (aging) memory serves me rightly, Veerkamp's home base is off Gold Hill Road out of Placerville - cain't see it from the road - gotta cuppla yard art Cats at the front gate of a driveway that winds its way back into the hills a bit - pretty interesting place and the home of some of the best restorations you could see anywhere.

  • Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

Those D4 Sulkys certainly look big. I was not looking for something that seems even bigger than the Cat. I may call an old friend that has a lot of heavy iron laying around and see what I can do. Almost any type of arch could be made to work, and I might use an electric winch since I dont have a Hyster for my D2. I have lots of dead beatle pines to move to a safe spot to burn and the D2 is easier to maneuver in my over grown forest. This will be a long term project. Thanks.

Thank you Gary. Grant, you may be thinking of Ed Akin, who was a relation to Doug and Matt.

It would really be neat to build a logging arch with a set of Athey tracks. One of my customers near you should have some that you may be able to purchase!
