2011 f250 doing some work. 18ft trailer load of ash, all from one limb.

BX2360 and the trailer was made by my Dad back in the 70s. Don't need anything else as all my wood comes from the back yard (22 acres of forest land) with trails cut just wide enough to fit it.

A load of 20" rounds yesterday.

She only handles the light stuff. She doesn't always bring in the best stuff. Some times tries to convince about the quality by bringing the same piece back no matter how far I throw it. I'll have to dig around for a better photo of my rig in action. I figured I'd throw in a photo of some of the oak and size of wood we haul up here. It's a 2012 dodge ram 1500.

I made this box right before the wood burning season started. Held about 1.25 cords. I gave it to the guy I handed the business over to when we started getting ready to sell. I'll build a better one when I back to the Ozarks.

Here's mine, it's a 2005 F-350.



I just got done adding some hauling capability.







Now I can stack all the way to the top of the cab. Only thing I need to do now is find a trailer that can haul a decent amount of wood.

Works for now. I'll get something smaller some day. Like a small tractor.

Nice vehicle to skid with? Looks like some beaver damage on that standing tree

 

[cityboy172]

Meh, It's a good 20-30 footer. 2000 suburban 2500, 188,000 miles, normal Chevy problems (rockers, cab corners, slow oil leaks). Not a bad truck for the $3300 I picked it up for. It is an absolute beast.

I doubt that is beaver damage. That's about 50 acres in the middle of a corn field with 2-3 miles to water. more then likely It's taken a beating from the farmers or last guys that had access to the property.

Haha! Yea probably not beavers. Are you the guy I read about asking g to buy the suburban with a loud lifter I remember a post from about a year ago? Or another guy?

How do y'all find trucks like that??? There is nothing that good a bug around here! All like $5k for something like that!

Nah, I found this one out of necessity in late April after someone totaled my wife's 99 KIA sportage. Some guy up in the NW suburbs of Chicago had it. I probably have 4,500 in it to make it right in my eyes (tires, pitman & idler arm, heater core, 2 window regulators, tint, exhaust). I probably worked that thing harder this weekend then its worked in the last 14 years. The guy gave me the receiver hitch he had for it, the ball wasn't even scuffed.

I'm surprised your used truck market is so high down there. When I used to visit my mom down there (Walterboro), Seemed like every one and there brother was driving brand spanking new trucks. It was almost as bad as Texas.

I just passed a bunch of 03 rams on a used car lot. They were like 03s and were 4 door trucks. $9k dollars

That's why I got this. Trucks are stupid high (in my eyes, given what I am doing with it).I figured I could buy this and a good trailer and still be a couple grand under a truck.

Where did you get this corner braces and latches? I have been looking for something similar.

I got them at Northern Tool. I believe Tractor Supply has them as well.

Heres some pics of my new hauler I posted a few pages back. This is the first load Ive had in it and I already love loading the 8ft bed rather than the Bronco

What did you pay for the truck? I'm looking for a 92-93 4x4 crew cab with a manual trans.

 

[Frank625]

1986 Chevy C20 with 8 foot bed and 18" Sides. 350ci. 3 Speed manual tranny with a granny low.

Doesn't matter what someone else paid. All regions are different. He may of got a really good deal too or may have got a bad deal and overpaid. So his price doesn't really have any basis on your area.

And 92-93 is pretty specific? Reasons why just those 2 years? That body went way farther back than those 2 years and a bit later also right?

Here is my set up. All my wood so far has come from my wood lot.

Here is my set up.

I like the design of that saw buck of sorts on your trailer. I assume cantilevering the log prevents pinching the saw that could happen with saw bucks that support at any of many spots along the log length? Can you get more than one log to fit in there at a time?

Tuesday I went to the post office over the lunch hour in my wife's car. A homeowner had lots of wood on the curb and he walked to the road just as I pulled over. I asked if I could come back tomorrow morning before work with my truck. "Take it all, but the city's coming this afternoon to haul it away." I had to get back to work so I thanked him and got ready to drive off. Then realized that my wife already thinks I'm swimming in firewood, so what better way to get a reaction than to come home with dense buckthorn in her trunk? I did indeed get a laugh. So now I can officially add the 1999 Honda Civic with 185,000 miles as my backup wood hauler.

Only one log at a timewith this set up. You raise the metal block that is holding down the back part of the log before you place your log or other wood in my vice and when you slide the wood in the metal block drops down holding your wood in place. This happens very fast. This set up works great for keeping your smaller wood off the ground when cutting.

 

[clemsonfor]

I cut wood that I usually can't pick up so a contraption like that is no good. Even if I used the tractor to lift a log it would collapse a trailer like that

 

[Thislilfishy]

Just one cord at a time....the trailer just can't handle anymore then that!
