Post a pic of your woodhauler

I scaled at 12,580 lbs in my SRW F-350. Over 5,000 lbs of retaining wall block in the bed. My tires are 295/70/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers and are rated at 4080 lbs each.

An E rated tire at 80 PSI can carry just over 3000#. Again - this is not condoning unsafe practices, but simply pointing out that there are light truck tires that can carry the kinds of loads being referenced.

Yep, I am running 285s. Truck weighs 7k lbs. I was over 13 at the scale.

Mud-Terrain T/A KM2 285/75R17 tires weigh 62 lbs, have a max load of 3195 lbs, have a maximum PSI of 80 psi.


I don't do this very often, once in the spring like I said. I just don't want to make 2 trips.

This is my first 3/4 ton truck and if you've never owned one it is a HUGE step up from a half ton.

Just to clarify...I wasn't knocking it saying you are being dumb. It was more of an impressed statement as I didn't know a truck like that could physically do that on a single set of tires.

Just to clarify, I was saying he is being dumb. If you get in an accident with a truck loaded at 2x - 4x it's rated payload, and someone gets hurt or killed, the cops and lawyers won't care much about your personal opinion on how much the truck can really handle.

We've all exceeded our legal GVW a few times, I'm sure... but 6000+ lb in a truck with payload rating < 3000 lb is really getting out there.

91 Ford F-250 5spd 7.3l IDI w/add a leaf

It hauls wood......

Its a daily driver......

And it does other stuff too.......
A 1 ton with air bags is hard to make sag.......

That is so awesome

That truck is bad@$$

Love the wheelie bars!
This seems to be a common problem!

Then we have the " what was that sound " !

It's not pretty but it works. My old tent trailer sans roof and innards. Hopefully it'll last a little longer than I'll take it down to father in laws shop and rebuild

You haul wood in your popup camper? Seems like the axes will overload easy and floor would blow out!

No she's solid. I don't fill it lol.
Can handle allot
More than you'd think

I've hauled about 6 cords + so far. Plus use it for dump runs and various other things. She was a good camper wen canvas wore out I repurposed it. Added an extra sheet of ply on floor. Two years in the books so far!

I don't think I ever did post a photo of my new old truck.




It is 2wd which makes it easier to load with the Kubota. I buck into 24" and can get 2 in the bucket so lifting is only for the little pieces and not often for them. This is the biggest piece I ever got. It was bigger than it looks.

Yikes... thinking I'd want to be backing down the hill with that load in the bucket! Tractors are no fun when the rear gets light (no brakes!), and you don't want to run your 4wd on dry pavement.

73 D200, 318 and 4 speed. No fancy options like A/C, power steering, a headliner... Was my Dad's farm truck for forty years, he asked if anyone wanted it when he retired and I put it to use hauling firewood.

Question : Can you have too many tractors?

no you can't have too many tractors! I'm a big fan of old john deere garden tractors. I have one that we use to throw snow and it's a beast, they just don't make them like they used too.


here is the wood hauler/mulch hauler, anything that needs hauled around the acreage. Picked it up for $80, very simple to operate, hydro forward and reverse.

I had a JD 200 series thing a few years ago. Started with a 210, found a 216 that had every available implement but a blown engine. The 210 was rough also. Restored em both. Unfortunately I had a big life shake up with a divorce and a 300 mile relocation and sold them off when rebuilding my life but... Damn fine tractors they are. Love them and will find another one to go through some day.

i've been on the search for a tiller box, then i'll be set with all attachments. I have a 214 that has a blown motor, so i've been robbing parts, but one day i plan to rebuild it. the crank let go so it's in need of an overhaul.

Nope, but all I see there is two lawn mowers. [emoji12]
