Oak Firewood Score and new trailer pics

[toolhawk]

A tree service was removing 2 very impressive oaks today , I asked what thier plans were he said to ask the home owner , they said I could have it ALL !! FREE !!they cut everything down to 18" these are pics of the 1st of 3 trailer loads , the pic does not do it justice , there are 62 pieces 18 inches to 28 inches across on this load alone , I was able to back my trailer right up to the piles and roll them up the ramps. This is the 1st real test for the new trailer to. check out pics here

BTW, it looks like you can throw a LOT more wood on that trailer!

 

[toolhawk]

I knew I could not do it in 2 loads so I split it to 3 loads , I have 1 more load tommorrow all 10" and smaller , but will be a full LOAD!!!

That's one hell of a trailer for $2,500 ... locally manufactured ?

You paid for a 1/4 of the trailer on it's first "free-wood" haul.. nice

Beautiful pics. Nothing better than premium hardwood and testing out new equipment. Looks like everything went right.

Sweet trailer and sweet hardwood. It does'nt get any better than that.

Dang... I thought I gotta score when my buddy that works for the city called me to meet the tree crew to pick up a small oak they just took down... got enough to fill up the back of my f150. Nothing compared to your score! Awesome, and wicked cool trailer too!

Great wood score as well!
