I got quite a bit of oak with a maple tree too. The drive was 25 miles one way but I think it was worth it. This was the first load. It seemed pretty heavy on the trailer. The bed is 16x7.




I unloaded this, went back to get the Kubota so filled in with more.




I had to pull off what was in the back to get the tractor off.



I will have to go back to get the rest after the summer is over, the home owner doesn't want me driving over the grass anymore. there I still the main trunk of the white oak 30+ inch by about 25 feet

This is my best helper Clara. Her Indian name is "Little Bear" My first grandbaby.



Little Bear and I need to build some more racks now.
 
That's a nice trailer you got. Funny thing is I have a tundra and my daughter looks just like your grand daughter. Also I wish I had a kubota tractor.

Buck it, roll 'em out to the trailer and up the ramp. It's White Oak, the king of woods! >>

Looks like you got after that Silver and put it to bed. I also wouldn't worry about the mileage when a deal went well. It's a small premium for a good day. And if Little Bear is your rider, how much better can things get?
 
Nice B21. I've worked on quite a few of them.
 
Glad to see the weight distribution bars on that trailer. NOBODY does that. Congrats to you for being smart and safe. You use any sway control?
I see people hauling massive utility trailers, usually overloaded and huge travel trailers with no weight distribution nor sway control.
Great to see somebody that puts some thought into every step of the cutting, hauling, splitting and burning lifestyle.
 
I have 750 and 1000 lbs bars for that trailer. The camper gets the better sway bars.

Why worry? The Toyota pulled the space shuttle so it shouldn't even blink at that little load of wood/Kubota haha :)
