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

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!

Love that trailer! Great sides on it and it looks awesome to boot.What are you pulling that thing with? Have you got brakes on that trailer?
Great wood score as well!
