How do YOU get your wood out of the woods?

[andydodgegeek]

That truck reminds me of the short bus for some reason... haha only joking

But you got a pretty good load on 'er, definitely earning its keep :msp_thumbup:


And keep up the good work!

It was a VERY heavy load. Add on to that pulling the 853 Bobcat on the trailer and it was a good work out for the old Binder.

Well Ladies, you all heave some nice toys to haul wood. Why don't you "panty waisters" man up and just carry it out? He is a picture of me, showing you how it is done. Later, DF

That truck have an 1800 series suspension? I had a 1970 1800 for 30 years and it went on after that for another 10 for the next owner.

I usually get Sasquatch to carry mine out but when he's busy I use One of my trucks(1966 Dodge 300 w/7x12 flatbed,1993 F250 diesel,2000 Dodge 2500 twin turboed cummins,1997 Dodge 1500 or the mighty Ford Ranger towing my trailer made out of a International truck bed) I like using the ranger and the 66 Dodge cause they are easier to load since both the newer Dodges are lifted sitting on 37's. Sometimes I use my 175 Massey with the loader to skid and load logs.

Not sure. I know the truck started its life as a tanker fire truck. It had the wheel base shortened and the dump box installed by the owner before me. I wouldnt doubt the rear springs were beefed as a tanker. It has a HUGE leaf spring pack.

Cool,..I have shortened up a good many big trucks for special purposes. Woods work is one of them, sometimes shorter is a lot better in the woods.

Hey Andy, What engine in the Binder? The 392 is a torque monster but they are all good. DF

The turning radius on it is unreal. I turns around in a smaller circle than my Jeep CJ7.

345. Excellent truck engine.

 

[dieselfitter]

I had a mud truck/trailrider with the 345. I used to mash the pedal to the floor and let her buck, the valves would float around 4000rpm. The 392 was bigger bore and or stroke. They are a tough motors, kinda thirsty though. DF

Plus one on the turning radius, the 345 was a fine engine. Mine got better fuel mileage than my 1979 3/4 ton 4X4 with its 350 4 bolt main engine with 390 gearset.

I got 8 mpg cruising down the freeway foot to the floor doing 68 mph. I thought that was alright. My 1989 dodge 3/4 ton with a 360 and 4:10's could hardly do that.

I hate to tell you gentleman but my M35A3 deuce and a half get 13mpg on the highway and 11mpg on the mountain grades. That with an Allison automatic and a Cat 3116. However it's limited to 60mph and it weighs 13,300 empty.

Always looking for a better trailer, but these two get the job done for now.

I mostly haul it by hand, but a 46' Farmall A helps, along with a 41' H
