I am relatively new around here, so just let me know if this is old hat. I would like to see pics of different wood haulers and maybe what the total investment was. Here's mine:

1986 Big Red $350
Tool Box $75
Tire Chains $40
Trailer $380

Love my ATV for quick trips to the woods.

Got lots of them, but to keep in theme here is my ATV and trailer:

'02 Honda Foreman 4x4 - $2500.00 and some trade
Trailer made from motorcycle trailer - Free

I got this back in December. So far I've been really happy with it, no more freezing my asre off going to the woods! I'll use the tractor and trailer for larger ammounts of wood, but the Ranger works good for quick trips.

We won't discuss the price.

Hey BorePig, welcome to AS.
How is that 3-wheeler in the woods and snow?

Someone gave me a KTM250 a while back, that needs an ignition switch/throttle thing and I've been wondering if its worth repairing to use for wood gathering, especially traction and all.

Thanks.
 
no drinking and splitting at the same time though.

dont let the looks fool you though its got a 10hp engine and a big military surplus ram. i split 24in stumps no problem.

aren't ktm's high strung 2 strokes? not the best for snow i would think.
 
A true lifesaver!

Thanks wdchuck!

The old big red does really well with the tire chains on. It's a 250 four stroke, 5 speed with auto clutch. I only use first and second gear for most of my hauling. Really not interested in going faster than that in the woods if I have a load on! I have used many different tire setups on the back (the chains are the best), but I must say that with real aggressive tires (no chains) it will pull with any 4 wheeler that's not in 4 wheel drive. Maybe better.

I don't think I'll upgrade to a 4x4 until she's done for! The short turning radius is awesome! If you have a 3 wheeler to fix, I'd say do it. At worst, you'll get your money back out of it!:cheers:
 
I love these pics. I use Rhino with a trailer. I fill the bed and the trailer and haul it back to the truck. I will try to post some pics.
 
Thanks! I only wish I could get some new rear fenders for under $300! I'm thinking about making some that wrap around the front and rear of the tires with a plastic 55 gallon drum.
 
Did not even notice the fenders were MIA. They are good machines. My neighbor use to have one when I was growing up. Does it have high and low range?
