I am not sure why but after installing IE 11, I could no longer post to this site until I figured out a fix this morning.

I picked this up last weekend from a CL scrounge. It was three trips and I didn't need to break out my saw and the guys cutting the tree did most of the heavy loading.

On another note, I think I am going to install some air shocks to help out a bit when I run into stuff like this because the tongue of my trailer was sitting a little to low with the big rounds loaded and hit bottom coming out of the driveway. I took it slow but make it home without any other problems.

It's hard to tell from the picture but I figure almost two cords here.

There were also some rounds still in my pickup when I took this picture.

3 trips with truck and trailer? Both the truck and trailer full? I was actually going to guess from what I see 1.5-2 cords
 
Yes, truck and trailer. These are were the heaviest rounds I've hauled to date.
I like your firewood ring pic on your profile
 
Big rounds. Is that hard maple?
 
I wouldn't touch those big ones again unless it was time to bust them in halves. ;) I'm happy with Timbren helper springs in the rear. They don't increase your trucks GVWR, but for those times you *have* to get something really heavy a few miles, they're great. I had to add shackle lifts to keep one-inch clearance between the helpers and the frame for an unloaded factory ride.

Lot's of guys here loved their air-suspensions, though. Good work.

Whats the metal plate on the ground?
 
That wood is cut nice and ready for splitting, can't beat that.

That is a piece of diamond plate my father used as a sort of bed liner and extra weight in his pickups back in the seventies before bed liners were plastic. I can't even remember how I ended up with it.
