Thanks, the trailer deck is 17ft x 5 1/2ft wide, bucked at 18" give or take. Very green wood (like 3 days) and felt heavy behind the truck. I wanted to go through a weigh scale just to know how heavy but there were none enroute. I would guess 6 or 7k pounds just by feel of known equip I've had on the same trailer...hard to say. I guess ill have to get another load and weigh it!! Pulled with 180k mile chevy duramax 3/4 ton, no problem.
"Don't mind the mule , load the wagon " 
Green; I bet over 7k.
Got any on the truck?
Looking for a trailer just like it, my single axle don't like 6k on it, (maybe I can add an axle)
Looks like a few months worth of heat,
looks like an all day job to get that big load
Nice load, good job.

Nice load swampy, makes my 5x10 look like a baby. I was recently hauling green bur oak , only 3 miles, but there's no way I could really load her up. Way to heavy. Ash on the other hand , no problem.
I'd say you are catching up with three loads on that trailer! Nice work, but something tells me the work is not complete though ;-)
Well if a guys got to burn $4 per gallon diesel you better make it count right! None in the truck...I figured I had enough tongue weight! I tow with weight disrtribution bars from the trailer to hitch and it takes tongue weight and transfers
Foward to the front axle...for anybody curious or contemplating a set, they are worth every penny to tow heavy loads with a pick up safely.
Anyway, thanks for all the kind words...and as I've read throughout this forum many times- yes, the work and the wood is strangely addicting!

Swampy, that is super. Yes, it is a lot of work but it can also be enjoyable. Keep cutting like you are and you will pass many of us. We don't mind it at all either.

Wow. I haul my wood with a dodge dakota 6 foot bed. That load would take me all day and maybe then some. However, I would be smiling the whole time cuz I just scored! Nice load o' wood.
very nice, so jealous.
i need a trailer. i work with a guy that has several mature trees dying due to city doing dirt work near the back of his property. i went one day to look at it and got part of one tree with truck and 4-wheeler trailer. bad part is he is close to 1hr away, i would spend alot in diesel without a bigger trailer. i priced dump trailers, yikes, i had no idea how much $$$$ they were.
