Show Us Your Brag Load

[unclemoustache]

uncle mush,,,there yah go.......get one,,and tell ma you needed a much bigger firewood hauler.................for all the firewood the kids split and stack.........

Nah - couldn't afford the fuel, and it's way too high off the ground. Most of my kids are pretty short for their age.

You need some sideboards brother!

10-4 makes it interesting though if you dont, and makes it challenging haha. Like I need anything to make it harder or take longer but I'm almost certified pro at doing things the hard way even when ibdont want too LOL

You keep buying those big ole vans so others can have these.
I like the idea of one trip, it makes the fuel cost justifiable(always looking to save on fuel). Plus you wouldn't need full coverage insurance, what could a car do to it, give you a flat tire.

So here's the steel sheeting and some 2×8's I just scored last night. Also got a nice chunk of tube steel to make an adapter to mount my snow plow on a quick detach plate for the Kubota.
Here's more concrete(its all in the ground with the other 8 bags, 24 bags total) for the woodshed, nothing the trailer can't handle easily, but I'm still bragging about getting a woodshed.
A picture of the progress on it as well.

Red elm from neighbor... It will be loaded later this winter. Probably got 3-4 loads with 8' bed and 16' trailer full.

Blue rocket saw was tearing it up all day.

Noodled 33" slabs end to end.

Lucky dog, it's RARE we get red elms that size in this corner of Iowa.

New to me tractor, figuring out how I want to haul wood out with it.

Wood is all elm, some pretty wet.





Back rack is two pallets wide, had to take some off to get the three point to lift.

The weekend haul

Did some log hauling on Saturday. They put a road in for a big subdivision over the course of this past spring/summer and this is all the wood from it. I think we got about 40 cords of tree length. This is all short stuff, most of it is maybe 15ish ft.
Hauled 5 loads on Saturday, have another 8 or 10 left I'd guess. Truck is an F-Super Duty, so pretty heavy duty. 10 lug, HD D70 rear. Logs dump out pretty nice too, I just raised the bed till the logs hit the ground and pull forward.

 

[DanTheCanadian]

You mean you're super duty has a trip and run? They're illegal here now. CSST stopped them.

Edit: Sorry I reread the post and realize I miss read it. Nice setup BTW.

What's up with all the axles and long frames on many American timber trucks? Is it because of bad roads and for better weight distribution? What's the total weight on that truck and trailer?

Not really sure, it was my wood but not my truck. If I recall correctly, the biggest payload I had was 72 tons of Rock Maple.

Thanks for the reply.

72 Tons that's not bad. It must have taken a while to process all that wood.
