Wood Hauler Pics

What a rutty mess. I could use one of those!

thats nice and all... i guess the bags are taking some stress off the shocks and leafs?
but your truck is still EXTREMELY overloaded. your rear end.. tires.. bearings... everything.
it might not be squatted but youre beating the #### out of that little taco with all that oak

kind of reminds me of the guy with the air shocks - never taking into the account those air shocks are still mounted to the same brackets the other shocks are, and the weight rating did noto increase on his tires, and the rear end is still tiny and has bearings inside it.

airbags are for looks, its still a taco, youre still a couple thousand pounds over the gvwr from the looks of it

Not a taco. It's a T100 but still VERY overloaded.

Is it?

My eye is saying that's less then half a cord -- I was figuring 6' x 2' high x 4' wide if you evened it all out.

That's .375 of a cord x 5,000#/cord for Red Oak (I don't know what he has there)...1875# which is right around the payload rating. Yeah, he's a bit over once the driver gets in But it's not spit-my-coffee-out-OMFG-look-at-that overloaded.

My current truck and that pic is a Tundra.

The old set up was a T100. The TRD is all TUNDRA!! And a member of another forum helped me guess at the weight of that load doing some fancy math. It was around 3000. Luckily I only hauled that about 150 yards to my house, not getting past 25mph, so no, I am NOT beating the piss out of that taco.

And I have E load range tires.

Thanks for the concern thou! :tongue2:

The newer Tundra has a really strong rear axle...they can take a pretty good load...Its the frame you gotta watch out for once the truck gets older...between rust and fatigue I've seen them fail occasionally on trucks that worked hard there whole life ..I know when i load my GMC 2500HD full of red oak freshly cut..it's about the most I'm comfortable with ...

It's all I got for now. Although the green one is multi purpose!

I've got one of those green multi purpose wood haulers too! Well actually, it's a wood dragger.

This is the hauler.

and it works great for moving all the toys around (trailers, chipper, tw-6). Even used it last winter to pull the wife's Subaru back onto the driveway when she decided parking in 2 feet of snow would be fun.

Great idea.

clearly deserves an award for the best redneck retaining wall in history:

I was finally able to get a picture of the with a load of wood in it. It's only taken me 2 years..... LOL Not the best quality pic in the world, but it's the best I can do with my $10 TracPhone For some reason the truck looks a little short and stubby in the pic. Oh well.

1993 F250 4x4 ext cab, 7.3L IDI diesel, 5spd manual, manual locking hubs. I just added the side rails this past weekend, and they still need a little work. The truck has about 9/10 of a cord of green hickory on it.

Santa just brought this for the kids. It's an 02 CarryAll 2 stake body with manual dump. It was orange but has camo vinyl on it now. The frame and panels are all aluminum and it will handle 800lbs in the rear.

 

[John D]

I have 3 carryall 2s....they are great work carts! You will love it..

We've got 3 4 wheelers and 4 trailers but this is my most effiecent for get wood in the yard. I lever the butt of a full length tree (limbed) and drag it into our firewood processing area.

The Bravo will haul about as big a log as I can get on it!

Here is this mornings load of locust. Old Oliver 550 and a "modified" new idea manure spreader.... Get quite a bit to a load

 

[Gologit]

Headed home with a load of cedar. This is an average load...about 26 tons. We divided the logs among four different people.

A little more about the truck please.

 

[Gologit]

A little more about the truck please.

It's nothing special...just a fairly typical Left Coast logging truck. KW T-800. Cummins ISX 460. 18 speed trans. 4:10 gearing. 46,000 rear ends with double lockers. 4 bag air suspension. Jake.

Are double locker pretty common out there? I used to work as a grease monkey in a Kenworth dealership doing mostly transmissions and rears and we hardly ever saw double lockers except for on a few dump trucks and cement mixers.
