A few loads. I think the biggest load was a mulberry log 4' small end 5' crotch area 10' long and solid. Wish I had taken pictures but the truck was sagging a bit. My estimate as about 1.3 cord.

The log chain is hanging from the 3-point hydraulic boom on the back of our JD2010. We use it to drag the trees out to a clearing to cut up. We then haul it back to the house and split/stack it right off the trailer.

And here's the new thread for a new year and another start to another year of truck use/abuse.

Here's my 88 Ford 1/2T again nicely loaded with 1.45 cord.....and yes that's a jack-all taking the stress of the rear springs...

I wish you nothing but the best - but I'm not too sure how many loads, of that size, your old Ford is going to take. Especially over uneven ground. ;)

I plan to fab a trailer that I can put 4-6 footers on and then be able to use my FEL forks to unload. Saves a ton of time. i am looking for running gear from a grain wagon or something like that. I don't want too big and wide as i won't be able to get through the woods and I won't be able to pull it with my UTV. I found one at a farm, but the guy sold it before i could bring the $. Oh well.
