Hi Andy.
Is this the same trailer you haul your Skidder with? I like the looks of your trailer. It looks like it can hall a Fair Jag of Fire Wood as well. How many Cord wood can it hold, or have you ever measured it by throwing Measured Cords into it? Also, does your trailers hook up to a Fifth Wheel Assembly like the Transport Trucks do, or is a Ball in the floor of the Box of the Truck Bed.
I'm still trying to figure out how to Sucre a box to hold Chain Saws in the Box of the Pick Up, without being lost like yours, or Stolen like a few of the Member's Saws.
If you have a Fifth Wheel type Hitch, can you tell me how high it is to the Top of the Plate. This will give me an Idea, how high I can build one to fit your Truck.
Thanks. Bruce.

Here's mine. there's no way I can get anything else into this part of my lot yet, so this wheelbarrow has been my wood hauler. It burns no gas, but a cold beer & barbecued steak will make it move faster.

Anyone who barbecues steak needs to be horse whipped. :hmm3grin2orange:

Here's my "wood hauler" for longer distances...

I also haul tractors, my dozer and logs on this trailor too, i just lift the side boards off it and go...

When I wrote barbecued I should have used grilled. As to how it's cooked, wipe its a$$ and cut off the horns is all I ask. My wife however will not touch a steak if she can see any red. Since she does the grillin' while I do the sawin', I have to let her have it her way.

My old 75 Dodge crewcab

I first saw this truck on the GSA website, and then on ebay. I knew it was the same truck from the distinctive rear bumper. It was what I had looked for a long while. It can't be hurt, and it is just right for hauling wood, canoes, and for hunting. I just made the headache rack with the help of a friend who welds better than I do. It doubles as a rack for the canoes and kayaks, and holds the timber-jack and other tools and chains. I have thought about making some of those chainsaw holsters to put on it also. JR

old whitey (well now she's partially brown) still hauling wood and hay, etc. with 288,000 miles on the odometer, and no overhauls . . .she isn't much but she is paid for and has paid for herself over and over again.

I cut my wood on the farm, so I don't need to use my truck (F-150 7700) very often for wood. I use my JD B, (A pictured) which I added an aftermarket 3-point to. I bought a 3-point extending boom to pick-up stuff that's too heavy. When the snow gets deep, I can always use the trusty elan and cargo sleigh. The trailer started out as a big pop-up. I welded lift blocks to the axle so the tires don't stick through the bed anymore. The 2000lb springs will hold a good load of wood (6'X10' bed). Cut a load in the morning, come home and eat lunch, and go cut another load, good plan.

My wood hauler. Manitoba style.

I built this unit in my car garage 4 winters ago.I also park it inside my car garage every night when I get home after work. It keeps my worker and I busy 8 mths of the year. My 2007 Dodge has the last of the 5.9 Cummins turbo diesels. Was leary going to the new 6.7
My sig below explains the setup.

Totoa T100 1-ton

for the money - nothing beats an older T100 1 ton. I've loaded this full size bed with a full cord of oak, driven home, unloaded, rested, and can't believe how this truck continues to get the job done. Also been breakdown free (over 150K) and still going (why did they stop making this truck ?). john

Boy your tractor looks like new, not even dirty... sweet...

 

[Ten_Bucks]

Here's mine with a fresh load.

Here's my other one for the hard to get to loads.

Both the Cummins dually and the blue Chevy are really nice. Whats the specs on the blue Chevy if you don't mind me asking? 3/4 ton, 1 ton? Engine, trans, tcase, front axle, rear axle? Thanks in advance.

nothing says firewood truck like leather seats!

Or this one for the tighter spots. The trailer's the same width as the quad and I've only got about 100 bucks into it.

 

[andrethegiant70]

My woods rig is fairly modest, but I've had a few of these Toyota 4X4s in my time and when this one breaks, I'll buy another. Maybe next time I'll get a bit more room behind the seat. This truck has been over some ridiculous terrain and has always gotten me home. With the rack, I get about 2/3 of a cord in it. My wood is pretty close, so the smallish bed is not much of a problem. It's great in the snow also.
