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:

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.
