This kit requires skill to assemble. Definetly not quick assembly. Intructions provide text and pictures however some of the pictures do not clearly indicate how the parts should be assembled. Kit allows 2 options for the log clamping mechanism position up or down. I placed in the up position, which cannot hold any weight as the unit will tip forward. Flexible joint assembly requires the drilling of 2 holes to properly mount but works when assembled. If you spend time this makes a great detailed log loader.
