Yesterdays load

[m37]

This is yesterdays wood trip.

Wow! How many loads like that do you need for a heating season?

 

[m37]

i usually get two or three but don't burn it all. I am a wood hoarder and like all that I can get.

 

[zogger]

Bwaa! Got me beat!

I cut 1/4 cord Saturday and the same today and that was *quite enough* in this heat. Mostly dinky stuff anyway, cleaning up downfall branches in front of a flood prone area of the fence. If I don't keep it cleaned up..anytime more than two inches of rain I am out there cussing smashed down fence.....

Anyway, nice loads! That ole chev got it stacked high!

Nice load on the ole chevy!

This is yesterdays wood trip.

I don't know if i've ever seen a rack on a truck like that. Looks really utilitarian and functional.

really??!!! farmers have them quite a bit in ranching and animal husbandry jobs,,commonly called cattle racks........to haul cattle to sale barn,,or slaughter house....

Wow, your truck deserves some rep for that load. What type of wood/ weight do you think you have in the bed?

Theres no way my 85 chevy 1/2ton short bed would even think of hauling a load in the bed like that:msp_scared:

That's a great old trailer. Looks like an old Willys back end.

That is a really nice load of wood! I too, would like to know the weight of the load you are hauling there.

Went out and showed that pic to my Chevy 1/2 ton and it leaked a little differential fluid!

Rep was sent your way.

the wood is red pine, I will have to pull across a scale to see the weight. the truck is a one tone, which helps, the trailer is a m101a1 military trailer.

If the Red pine is somewhat dry, it should be ~ 2900 pounds per cord. Something tells me that load might have had some moisture left in it...

 

[m37]

I went to a scale before I unloaded anything, the total weight was 16140. The truck and trailer weigh 6860 empty, so I think that I was a bit overloaded. all of the wood was dry except for the last row in the trailer it was from a dead fallen log that was lying in the weeds.

Impressive!

I squatted my 09' 1/2 ton with some fresh locust just up to the rails, what a difference a 1/2 ton makes!!

 

[howard270]

One last question.

What was the total volume (cords) of wood from that load?

Again, thanks for the pics, got me back in the firewood mode!

 

[m37]

I am thinking it was around 2 1/2-3 the trailer is one cord to the top of the sides.

Good load with a good truck. Im looking for an 80's Chevy for a wood hauler. Dont like taking my family hualer/ durmax to haul wood. Too many stumps and logs to run over.:msp_biggrin:

 

[stihl sawing]

Mighty impressive load you have on that truck. Good job on the pine.:msp_thumbsup:
