About £450

Nice! Not sure how it'd fair on rougher woodland terrain rather than the comparatively smooth garden environment though.

My wife says she would like a couple of them but could they not bring the thing with wheels on!

Well, we bought one, as they've knocked £100 off! Here's a video review:

Where did you buy from?

[mikepepler]

Off ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260797859335
but the sale's over now, and it's gone back up to full price...

I've put it on my blog now, with some still images to go along with the photos:

We've had a local engineering firm make us a part to connect the log trolley to a tow-hitch, so now we have a mini forwarder for difficult-to-access locations!

I am going to stick with my trailer.
The log trolley maybe ok for tight spaces & flat ground, like down the side of a house.
But down the woods I can tow my 2 metre trailer anywhere & over anything with the Landy & offroad tyres.
The drop tailgate makes loading easy & its very stable with wheels about 1.5 metres apart & larger wheels than a trolley.

We have some locations where you have to reverse up a hill and then drive out forwards, and they're not wide enough to reverse with a trailer attached - so that's where the log trolley will be useful.
