Looking good MM. They look like softwoods - I can't think of any other way of getting that much wood onto that pickup.
Let's see the sawdust fly!

Doh, should have read part 1 before part 2, then I wouldn't have needed to make the dumb comment about the softwoods.

Anyway, good score MM.

So how did you get those big logs on to the truck? I know that ain't sticks on a Matchbox Car.

You are deffinitly making me feel guilty for having a 3/4 TN Dodge ram Diesel. But I was still maxing that out by pulling 16000 lb with the trailer and load combined. Here is one of my hauling pictures.

We used marty's tractor , I normally use my ute crane , but the tractor is way faster and easier

Yeah the flash on the camera caught the reflector strip. Here is another picture of a friend of mine pulling some logs up with the winch. I love that trailer. I can haul my 8,000 lb Hyster forklift (wieghs 11,000 lbs) or pull logs up on it or bring lumber home from the mill. I have even used the winch to pull a 32" walnut tree over the right direction as it was cut. It was leaning the wrong direction and I pulled it as my friend cut it and it worked pretty good.

colours are a bit false/harsh but easier to see what's happening

Nice stack of logs mate! I used to work my little trucks like that one a nissan and one a toyota. Now I drive a bigger one with a diesel and pull a trailer too. Very nice load indeed
