My new wood hauler and a pic of the old one.

This is my new wood hauler with a load of oak. It is not set up the way I want it yet but I am making due for now. My dad, brothers ,and I are cutting on 40 acres that has been timbererd and it getting thick now that it is warming up so that made it hard to use my 2008 duramax and not beat it up. I have the lift and hydraulics for the bed to dump I just have to find the time to install them.

I like the big Ford & the little splitter. :rock:

missouriboy · May 12, 2012

It gets the job done. I have worked that little splitter so hard and it keeps on going just like my 455 rancher and 1992 F-250 with 250000 miles on it.

Thanks :rock:

Alaskan Wood Hauler

I picked up this tracked dump rig about 2 years ago and we use it to get wood from all around our 40 acre place. There is are 100's of acres around us that has good firewood...its just tough to get to it...

That things awesome. I would make some high sides for it and load the crap out of that thing.

You are reading my mind - we are going to put some stake pockets on that thing and run the sides up a couple of feet. Its a simple hydrostatic drive system so my boys can drive it with no problem. :clap:

From the looks of you in that second picture I believe that was one of the days you worked the splitter hard. :laugh:

I made a great improvement for my trucks (have two identical dump bodies). I put a movable cross bar that has a 2" receiver on it with a 3k lb winch mounted to a 2" hitch. I was able to haul up these 18" x 12' oak logs with it with out too much trouble. If/when this winch dies, I will go with a 5k lb winch next time. its only 3k lbs when its on the first wrap of the cable on the drum. when it gets short and wound over the drum a few times the rating drops to 1500lbs or so and these logs were somewhere around 1200 each not leaving it with much extra oomph.

How do you get the leading edge of the log into the bed from its position on the ground?

I put the body up to full height for the start of the pull and get them both partially on the body. then lower it down some and pull them to the nose of the body. if they hang up I use the cant hook to wiggle them around

I done the same thing a couple of years back on my dump trailer with a 9000 lb winch except that there is a cheap truck hoist mounted on the rear corner of the bed that is used to get the end of the log into the bed. Works great except for when the logs get wedged in the bed when trying to dump them.

Down in my neck of the woods you have to get a permit to use anything with steel tracks because of all the ancient archeological sites that are everywhere.
