Timberjack

A timberjack comprising:

• a handle defining an aperture;
• a core member received in the aperture of the handle;
• a hook operably coupled to and angularly extending from the handle, wherein the hook is configured to engage and receive a log through rotational movement of the handle;
• a jacking stand pivotally coupled to the handle, the jacking stand comprising at least three portions, the at least three portions comprising at least one lateral member, a center member, and a cross-member;
• wherein the at least one lateral member and center member are perpendicularly affixed to the cross-member to form a frame of the jacking stand, and wherein the frame of the jacking stand is configured to structurally support and elevate a log received by the hook;
• and
• a trailing support coupled to the jacking stand and the handle, wherein one end of the trailing support extends angularly upward from the jacking stand to a coupling mechanism formed on the handle, such that the trailing support provides additional structural support when a log is received by the hook.

A timberjack comprising:

• a handle;
• a hook pivotally coupled to and angularly extending from the handle at an intermediate point between a proximal and distal end of the handle, wherein the hook is configured to engage and receive a log through rotational movement of the handle;
• a pointed edge arranged at a distal end of the handle in an orientation generally opposed to the hook, wherein the pointed edge is spaced apart at a predefined distance from the hook and is configured to engage a log on a surface opposite that of the hook;
• and
• a jacking stand coupled to the handle, the jacking stand comprising a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is arranged to engage the ground, and wherein the second portion is coupled to the first portion and extends downwardly from the handle to elevate a portion of the handle from the ground.
