We hauled fifty 8' tall by 6" diameter cedar posts in our ford 4 cylinder ranger. it was really squating and we went pretty far. no problems.

farm plates are great, no weight restrictions!

We brought our pellet stove, 2 tons of pellets, the hearth pad and all the venting plus 2 adults in our 250 3/4 ton diesel pick up. It was squating too but no problems.

in a car trunk you have to keep in mind that putting 1000lbs of pellets in the trunk is quite a bit different than distributing 4 250lb people in 4 seating positions.

Is that why farming is one of the most dangerous occupations in the US ?
Guess that if you're a farmer the laws of physics don't apply to you.

I can haul 24 tons in my 48' van....

Most times I've purchased pellets, I've transported them in a 2006 Camry. I can take 15-20 bags at a time (depending on if I have another passenger) and I always distribute the bags evenly between the trunk, back seats and sometimes front passenger seat too. I live less than 2 miles from a Lowes, so lately I've been travelling quite often with Greene Team pellets as my passenger.

I've been carrying 25 bags at a time in my 2003 Ford windstar. Spread through th ewhole interior. Drove slowly, short distance.
P.S Just had it serviced and had to replace the rear shocks. BUT Dealer said that shouldnt have been th eproblem unless I was agressive in driving. Probably just wear over 8 years.
But????

I wouldnt be afraid of putting four grown men in a car...............

I would! Specially if you put OMV and Smoke in the back seat! There would be an awful lot of ruckus back there! ;-)

Are you buying your stove from Eric??

Great guy with a great attitude and some great pooches (Pellet and Woody, his Dogs). Be sure to give them a scratch behind there ear for imacman (another forum member).

What stoves are you looking at? His Heatilator line is hard to beat for the price. They are basically a Quadrafire in a cheap chassis. Although the entire Harman line is Top rated and you would be hard pressed to find a better stove.

Welcome to the Gang. Keep us updated on your purchase. Once installed, we're gonna need some pics (Pics or it never happed).

Thanks for the welcome, Dex - much appreciated!

We're planning on visiting Eric this coming week, and are looking forward to doing business w/him. Our pup will be in doggie daycare when we go to visit, so we'll be able to give Eric's guys some attention :-D

There will definitely be pics coming!! We're picture people - a pretty lasagna fresh out of the oven, we've got pics; beautiful garden harvest, we've got pics!; puppy being a silly, ridiculous puppy, we've got pics! Very visually oriented here, and love to document things (is that a sign we're getting older?)


Many thanks to all,
Dave & Deb

Nope... Not a sign of age.... More like Pride to me (although with age, you take more pride in things). Im Proud of everything I do.

My Father told me as a Child ..

"Take Pride in everything you do Kid. Even if its wiping your a$$. Do it right the 1st time and know you did the best you could". Ever since, I have always tried to put my best foot foward.

Congratulations again... Your in luck... We love Pics ;-P

I put the seats down and distribute the weight.
