If you come split mine.Does this mean your not coming over to split my wood for me?
Is that all you could get on that truck. If you add a rack you could stack a little more over top of the cab and get a real load on that truck. In reality, I doubt I could get that load home without losing half of it along the way.
jrider: That is the rub. Is the equipment worth the cost?
And without a college education how do you figure cost/payback, or cost comparison of two choices realistically?
I cant agree or disagree about the difference in dumping between a dump truck and a dump trailer. I have never used a dump truck to haul firewood. I dont really consider what I have dumped from my dump trailer to be spread out, but Maybe I just dont know what I am missing.Dump trailer will leave the pile more spread out than a dump truck. Just the simple fact it's lower to the ground.

It looks like your doing mostly tree service wood, in which case, this might be a good fit for bigger wood.I've been thinking of ways to change mine/make it more efficient or easier on the body.
Wow, you are a mind reader because I have recently been looking at those machines and thinking they are pretty slick. I could still windrow my splits like I do now which I've had great success with so I don't see any reason to change that aspect of how I do things. I would love to demo one of them for a day if they were only closer or if I knew someone who had one.It looks like your doing mostly tree service wood, in which case, this might be a good fit for bigger wood.
I have always been drawn to the self propelled PowerSplit or TimberDevil vertical split machines with conveyor. No idea what the pricing is on a one man machine, but the ergonomics of standing up straight, the log lift, and conveyor may just be worth it in the long run.
It is a shame there is no way to try one out before buying.
Well, the hudson 400 log loader is rated at 1260 lbs at 13ft, so right in the load range of your pallets. I dont agree with your friend about the dump trailers leaving a long trail of wood when they dump. I have never had that problem with my dump trailer. I suppose if you try to dump and pull forward at the same time it could leave a trail of wood. I raise my dump all the way and then drive out from under the wood and it ends up in a big pile. .
