My first post - I'm a newbie here... love the site!


Load of slabwood ("cants") from local amish pallet shop last weekend. Mostly small stuff, but cost $30 for the whole load (truck and trailer full). Trailer is 14,000# gross, it was almost maxed out. Using the cutting racks, I had it all cut to boiler length in a 4-5 hours. It was all a little thin, but mostly ash and other hard woods. I've been burning in an insert fireplace for 10 years, first year with the boiler and I was afraid I may be a little shy on wood, this was a quick and easy way for me to get a little reserve on hand incase the boiler is hungry this winter ;)

image.jpg image.jpg The "new" hauler. 1994 F150 from down south. If it was from here, it would be full of rust after 21 years of winter salt. I have to fix a few things but it runs good and gets me down the road. It has the 4.9L inline 6 with auto transmission. It's not a fancy new truck like some of you have, but I plan to use this as a truck. It will be scratched and dented and pushed to its limits.
 
Where can I get one, that's cool. Nice clean operation, that would keep my wife happy, Joe.

Here's the best deal I could find on one. Looks like a cool vehicle.

This is a 1969 M-274-A5 Mechanical Mule. This one was originally delivered to the U.S.M.C on 7-1969. Runs great. 2 cyl. Hurcules air cooled engine. Great condition. Restored but great for hauling firewood, camping , hunting and always a hit at carshows. Very useful but now it is time to part with some of my toys. Parts are plentiful on the internet. Service manuals will be included. Please call for info. or appointment to buy. No trades Call Robert at show contact info
 
Cool pic. Keeping the operation "Small Scale". You need a cab with heat and air on that tractor. Very nice, Joe.

Shoot I'd be happy to have heat and air on the skidder... and a door on the cab (got ripped off by another owner)
