That thing has to be b*tch to load?
That thing has to be b*tch to load?
If I remember right just about 6 cord stacked. 2 cord in the trailer and almost 4 in the truck. The M105 is a heavy trailer but can haul a ton of weight. I have a M1102 too which is much lighter with a aluminum body. Much easier to haul with my half ton.
How many cord you got on that load between the truck and trailer? I've been on the prowl for a mil surplus trailer. Likely a M101A2, M1102, or perhaps a M105A3.....

Which led me to 2.5 hrs of small to sledge hammer smashing to get the truck to and from the pile tonight.
Yes, my pride finnaly took a hit tonight and I grabbed the 4fts from the pile, pretty good start considering it's the 9th of December and I was running on day cut, kibbles and a few loads of split. Time for good wood.....
Keep on .... Runnin' Load's .....
For fuel sipping big trucks, find something with a Detroit 60 ... they will pretty much cream everything at the same power level.

Around here Cummins is king for availability and parts/service. Detroit isn't too bad either though.
2 guys run Mack log trucks, one had the V8 Maxidyne? and it had problems, not sure how they got it fixed, it was something like $25k estimate. We told him to swap in a new engine/Trans or swap the loader and bunk to a new truck! Can buy decent KW or Petes at auction for 8-10k!
Agreed on the cord count as my M35A3C only holds two cords of wood as well. Though I could not put enough wood in it to make it squat even a little and no noticeable difference in power loaded or not. The main advantage of these trucks are price and they get into and out of nasty areas the Dodge Rams and such get stuck. Oh yeah, 13mpg on flat land and 11 mtg on 6 % + grades loaded or empty.I think you are off quite a bit on the cord count. An m35a2 bed holds 2 cords as its 3ft high, 7'4" wide and 12'3" long. The m105 holds about 1.5 cords, so total cord count is 3.5. Still a good haul and a good bit of wood!
