I wish I had pics but it was before i was at the shop, maybe 10ish years ago.
Had a guy come buy with a new to him mid 90s F350 single rear with a 12ft long flatbed.
Not sure what the truck had been setup for, but it was quite a bit of bed for a non duallie.
He loaded on a very generous 3 cords of green birch, figure in the area of 8 tons of wood.
Made it about 2 miles and one of his rear wheels came off, busted all the studs.
Ended up having to replace the rear axle too, it was bent pretty badly.
Had a guy call last week, argued that his F250 and bumper pull 20something ft trailer could haul 10 cords. Gave up on convincing mr know it all... whatever, we'll load 100 cords on the darn thing if that's what you want.
He came by... trailer was just a light duty car trailer, 5 lug axles.
Barely got 2 cords loaded and everthing was pretty well screaming and he realized we weren't b/sing him.
He was hauling it to Valdez, a pretty long drive though a few ugly grades.
Since 91, I swear this lil bush buggy has hauled a thousand cords and the tree wheeler has hauled 300 in the last three years. This may be the biggest load yet, about a third of a cord. The wood pictured is a 250 year old dead spruce, and the saw that cut it is a DD 346.
