How many different trailers do you use for wood processing.

[gzecc]

I use three different ones. 6x10 on road and off, 5x7 off road and a craftsman dump cart.
I still find myself looking at trailers on craigslist. How many do I need?

Most times I use my little poly dump cart but sometimes I borrow my neighbor's ATV cart.

I keep coming back to the 5x8 dump. It can handle a little more than a cord which is usually about all I want to deal with at one time anyway. If I was hauling further I might use a bigger trailer.

Mornin',
I use an 8X8 tilting snowmobile trailer with wood sides to pick up scavenged wood and a 3X5 garden trailer to bring the split wood to the wood rack. The former is useful for everything--quads, snowmobiles, dump-runs with leaves, etc.--the latter is super handy for everyday yard work. Both can be found fairly cheap on Craigslist, etc.

I use just one. Bought if from Harbor Freight several years ago for around $100. It hauls 1/2 face cord or 1/6 full cord when it's loaded normally, not like this. In this picture it has pretty close to a face cord on it. It was the last load of the day and I wanted to finish hauling all the splits from that tree:

I use a pickup bed trailer to get the wood out of the woods and a yellow garden cart for bringing the wood into the house.
So I guess I use 1 trailer and 1 wagon.

Three. A 6.5X16:

A 5X8:

And a converted boat trailer behind the 4 wheeler:

I like a 7x12' 12000lb dump trailer I can haul 3 cord of wood and 11/2 in the truck .
I have a 6x10 dump for small loads .
I like a 20' flat bed for hauling log lengths .

Does this count as a trailer?

If it's not in that, it's on the old flatbed. I wanted a trailer, but I bought the old truck instead. The truck was actually less money that the trailer I wanted.

I am very fortunate in that I dont really need a trailer. I live about a half mile from my dad. We cut all our firewood on a couple hundred acres of hardwoods at the foot of the appalachians located between his place and mine. Just fell the trees cut em into 10-12 Ft logs then we use a 65 Hp New Holland tractor with front end loader and forks to haul out the logs and we split and stack em' either at his shed or mine.

I use two. First is an old hay wagon about 18' X 7'. I pull it with either my PU or an old Ford 8N. It never leaves the property because it is a birch to move around. On the front I have a retired toolbox that keeps all of my gear in. It is just a little bit too tall for loading. But it hauls tons.

Then I have a really old John Deere 10cu' yard wagon that I move wood from the shop area down to the house. I pull it with a ZTR mower. Well that is until there is a 1/4" of snow on the ground. It's worthless then. If I haven't moved enough by then I have to use a wheelbarrow.
On a sidenote to the JD trailer, the tires are shot and the wheels are just about rusted through. So yesterday I drilled holes holes around the outside of the tires and filled them with Great Stuff expanding foam. I hope this will get me through the season. More White trash tech.
