? when to call it quit's?

[chucker]

!ok there's all of 16" of snow on the level in the woods. having been able to get around in the woods till now with the f-150 4x4 till today. slid into a huge red oak that took out the r. r. quarter panel. when do you all call it "time to quit" with the 4x4 trucks? more snow in the forecast in the coming days, so its time to bring out the old allis d-15 with chains to help move snow an pull some wood to a landing! loading blocks into the bucket with a couple logs on the hitch should make for some faster wood making .... tandem and f-150 for a good daily workout.

If you're at the bouncing off trees point in the pickup, I'd say you're probably at the switch to the tractor point, lol.

I would have {called it quits} Before I decided to frustrate my self into a full bore,..lost control , smashed my truck episode.. I've been driving on alota thick ice lately, And it's pretty obvious that ....I need to focus on the road way,
If I was in the woods I'd be in a (feel mode), feeling my way threw the terrain. For some people its a feeling, of the road,
And for others ,..its a feeling of the ditch...I guess I pretty much posted thee point blank post of today,..lololololo......

I called it quits when plowing my trails would've resulted in a lot of fuel burned only to still possibly get stuck.

That cold snow is like light sand and just churns instead of helping stick you to the ground below. I'm not wasting my time in 16" of that nonsense.

I'm not cutting anything until spring.

He was feeling his way through, that red oak told him to move the other way a smidge!

The side of the bed into a tree would have ruined my day on one truck. The other one was bought for a beater. The boy just bounced a 10" round off the bed the other day. While I felt bad, I was relieved it was the beater!

 

[philoshop]

3" of boot-sucking mud on top of solid frozen dirt. I'll call it a day even with the tractor. Too much expended energy for the return, unless you have to be there.

 

[lefturnfreek]

Go find a set of 4 tire chains and keep running the truck, I'm a sucker for quietness, a nice seat, radio, heater....

 

[turnkey4099]

There comes a point in the life of a nice truck used for firewooding when you realize you no longer have a 'nice truck, you have a beater wood hauler.

[Nuzzy]

Nothin' wrong with rubbing trees here and there...

 

[Jim Timber]

Easy solution: buy pre-dented trucks like I do. "Oh, look at that new scratch" is about as pulse-raising as "Hey, my boot came untied."

 

[flotek]

I seen this happen before on a nice Chevy. .. A crying shame . Sorry to hear it . I'd Get yourself an old tractor for hauling wood they are much better suited for it anyways

 

[Cheesecutter]

A buddy of mine had 85 oaks logged and gave me the tops. The path to the landing was nearly a mile long winding through woods and fields and he had plowed a path to it. The 3rd time I got stuck, and he had to pull me out, I called it quits. After all I didn't want him to think I was stupid(LOL).

Really Chucker, it's all your fault anyways. You should have already cut that tree down. It wouldn't have "been able to reach out and touch you" then.

This past weekend I drove out into the plowed field and pulled a stuck snowmobile out of crotch deep snow along the water way... never even slipped a tire.
They (the neighbor and his boy) told me I'd never get there... I just laughed at 'em.
What you need is traction-lug bias-ply tires...

yes ted! this tree has a limited life span that's dropping fast! going spearing for a couple of days so I can wallow in self pity from my lack of hind site... perhaps Monday next week will do to extract my revenge on this soon to be firewood tree.....lol

? alas spidey, all I have are them danged luger radials that only like,s to bite oak trees bigger than themselves.... lol

 

[GrassGuerilla]

I'm guessing if it wrecked a quarter panel it at least marked the tree for removal? But isn't that what f-150's are for? Sounds like she needs some better off road tires.
