The dodge has been my wood hauler this last year. I am really overloading it, by a lot. Last week, I bought the big Kodiak. It should do a lot better on my long wood haul.

Do you hand unload right into a stack?

Trying to get them to show up. Guess that did not work.

Mowingman, how far are you hauling wood that you need a bunk? Never mind I see you're from Texas, everything's bigger. Nice Kodiak, bunk and all!

 

[Mowingman]

Do you hand unload right into a stack?

Yes, I have rows of "T" posts set up in 2 rows, and spaced at 8" intervals I can back down between the rows and unload off each side. The trailer holds 8 ricks.
With the Dodge, the trailer, and a load of green wood, I usually am grossing about 31,000. Too much for the transmission and clutch in the 1 ton.

2tree,
Thanks for making the photos show up.

Driver625,
I don't need the bunk, as the haul is only 107 miles one way. However, the truck had the sleeper on it, and the price was right. The Kodiak has a 3116 Cat, 10spd Fuller Trans, air ride, and air brakes. I paid $5600.00 for it. Too good of a deal to pass up.

Here is my wood hauler. I beat her up a bit, but try not to travel too far with load like this.

Is that you in that picture? Always interesting to see a face after you've seen a name.

Mowingman, you got a screaming deal. Always better to have a bunk and not need it than to not have one and need it. Air ride too? That's awesome.

 

[Mowingman]

Thanks. I have been shopping for a truck about this size for nearly 6 months. These medium size trucks really are hard to find, at reasonable prices. This one was on Craigslist earlier this year at a higher price, so I passed on it.
When it showed up again, closer to home, and at a lower price, i jumped on it. The guy I bought it from, had purchased it for a specific project. That project fell through, so he just needed it gone. Getting it inspected tomorrow, then hope to start hauling in about a week.

Old school chevy 1/2 ton, you know the formula, 4" lift, 33"s, 4 speed, 350 engine pumped way up. Home made trailer on a moblie home axle. Uses the same tires and wheels as my truck, it's safer in the desert if it can all interchange. Gives ya options if you break down somewhere.[View attachment 241545View attachment 241544
