Steve, I'll get a couple pix of Earl's unit and post them later today. And Gatsby, We were lucky that the haul was more or less on top of the bluffs around here so no big hills to speak of. BUT, Earl's driveway is long and steep and gravel and once I got down to the house, I had to back past the house, down more hill and around "stuff" to where he unloads. We even had to cut out a section of a big timber he uses to help with water drainage near the house. Once, when I was part way back to where we unload, I had to drop down into 4WD low to go ahead and straighten out so I could back into the area I wanted to get to. That Cummins is an awesome engine (no mods) and I was glad to have it more than once. And speaking of how heavy the loads were. After all was hauled and unloaded, I was rolling my Truxedo cover back out when I noticed that the bed of the truck now had a roll to it like waves. We could only load two of the big noodled rounds into the bucket at once and when Earl dropped them into the bed, they added some character to the truck bed, if you know what I mean. She's an 04' with only 67,000mi and does everyting I want it to. I've chained up some huge (not as big as the ash) oak and hauled them up sections of bluff areas we've cut in with no problem. I'll try to get some pix of where we unloaded at Earls and the truck bed.
