I'm borrowing this trailer right now, but I may be able to buy it for real cheap. It's an old motorcycle hauler that's been around the block a few times but can still get the job done.
If I do get it I am going to put sides on it and take off the fenders. The 260 pro fits great in the rear box on the 4-wheeler for the woodcutting expedtions.

thats about 1 cord of oak, it takes half a cord just to make it ride smooth.

thanks, "Little Whitey" has been with me a long time, she shows her age but is more reliable than i could expect or ask after 285,000 miles. and old Negra is serious about rides and wood outings, though more interested in chasing thrown limbs than helping load logs

this set up is working out as good as I thought it would.

Is it possible to jacknife it and dump the truck and trailer without unhooking?

Thankks....I am gonna keep that in mind Ductape. Seems you would then have to drive over the pile but might not be that hard to clear a path. I am not that into moving wood.
I also had a bin built that fits perfectly into the bed of the dump insert and my plan is to fill it up on the ground then boom it into the bed with my truck crane and strap it in and dump it attached to the insert. If this works out I will post a pict. Cheers.

I'd probably not want to try that, unless rewiring and changing broken jacks sounds like a good time. Firewood has an amazing talent of seeking out expensive breakable things!

How much wood you haul with the two combined?

This is standard practice out here for any setup like that, especially the larger dump trucks with their pups. If you do it right you are NOT dragging your trailer over your pile.
