Not a lot of snow here this winter until recently, about 18" here in the last week. I can't imagine what the folks in the northeast have had to deal with. Wood supply was getting low so sat morning before the last 10" hit the ground I decided I better get to some while I still could. Had to cut and skid by hand but at least I beat most of the snow and am good for a couple more weeks. Yea it's slightly overloaded but it's only a half mile to home.

Nice load of wood

A little extra weight for traction don't hurt none!
Nice score and well stacked! I would have put my saw in the cab of the truck though, with my luck I would have probably busted that one as soon as I put the truck in drive... 
I was happy with the load especially since the bed is only 5ft. Was pretty much pushing snow on the way in and out so the additional weight was a help. The Stihl was packed in with the wood so I wasn't worried about it falling off. All dead standing red oak, most about 14-15" at the base, burns very nice in the OWB.

All things considered, some of the guys on here would say it's only overloaded if the bumper is dragging on the ground.

I take the bumper off for extra clearance and keep loading.
I couldn't get down to my woodshed 2+ feet of snow that had drifted across the trail over 3 feet, tractor almost buried.
3/4 hour trying to get the snowblower unstuck, it's frozen to the ground.
Went down the road to another trail I have, once I was able to clear all the snow from the lane way I finally got to the woodshed.
The trees i felled in the bush are under the snow, somewhere, I'll have to wait for a bit of a thaw to skid them out.
