Glad you got 'er done - that trailer is sweet. 6,000 lbs fishtailing doesn't sound fun!
 
I never realized wet wood weighed so much. Is that average for most green wood?

Wet cottonwood lighter than birch?

The loads of birch I hauled this summer worked out to be right around 5000lbs a cord. I haul 2-2.5 cords at a time with my 12k rated flatbed trailer.
 
Thanks Dave. Better get a twin axle if you want to haul any trees from the eucalyptus grove ;)
 
Wishlist, I suspect there are a whole lot of folks never been to Wawa. Therefore, they don't realize that moose you saw was a statue! ;lol
The statue in Wawa is a goose!;) Btw Youngs general store is one of my favorite stores on the planet, That vat of dills calls out to me!

Could be my mistake. I do remember the goose for sure but maybe we saw the moose somewhere else. Thanks for correcting me.

Nope not correcting you there very well could be a moose. I know the huge goose is there. My wife and I went up there on our honeymoon. On one our trips out in the sticks we found a "Ghost town" amusement park. The old goose was stuck in the parking lot, Looked rather odd coming upon this old place with a huge goose in the middle of the parking lot.
 
Not our honeymoon but I think it was somewhere around 1964 when we were there.
