With fall around the corner, there is time to build one. Hypothetically.
So, what characteristics would your ideal firewood trailer have?
Mine would include, but not limited to:
F450, 7.3 diesel, crewcab for the helpers, 11' dumpbed, 4x4. (Since we are making a wishlist.)
7'6" x 16' maybe longer to fit loading equipment, and lots of wood.
#7K tandem axles, with electric brakes
Dump capability
Ramps
Barn door tailgate, removable
Aluminum construction to reduce weight of trailer to get max payload.
Bumper hoist, hideaway type, #1K capacity. (put a 2nd on the truck too)
Pintle hitch to keep most of the borrowers at bay.
Hydraulic hookups on truck/trailer for splitting accessory, like another member here had behind his truck cab.
