That's my 86 Chevy dump it has a brand new rebuilt 350, 4 barrel and dual exhaust. It's my old work truck and will be for sale as soon as we finish hauling materials to fix up the cottage. The 4 Runner has a Warn winch. The 12' x 7' landscape trailer is on the other side of the yard filled with cedar logs.

I really like that winch on the trailer. Where do you plug it in? Do you run it off of your truck battery?

i have a connector on the trailer hitch. The wire runs all the way to the battery. Had to be a heavy gauge wire to run that far. Works really good except the winch is really slow. It also has broke twice, My last milemarker. I heard the army traded all their warns for milemarkers, I hope they get better ones than i got.

1999 Chevy C3500 1-ton long bed, 5.7L 350 cu in motor. Shown loaded with 18" to 30" diameter green oak, which is mostly what we have here. (I consider a 372XP to be a nice mid-sized saw). I split by hand with an 8 lb. maul.

Don't have to haul firewood far, usually just a few hundred feet from the woods to one of several wood stacking areas closer to the house. If I end up with a "little extra" firewood (maybe 8 or 10 cords a year) that I won't burn myself, it's NOT very hard to sell!

Here's mine with a fresh load.

Here's my other one for the hard to get to loads.

 

[kstill361]

I wish mine dumped! I am thinking about getting a 7x12 dump trailer in a couple more years.

I wish i could post some pics of my bosses road tractors.

He's a ford fanatic. Thats ok, at least the motors are worth a crap(cummins..)

























I dislike fords accept coupes and 74-77 F-250 rangers, G pops has one witha factory dump bed! And "dont worry about that temp guage pegging H. She will settle down once we start going down the hill."

Thoes old beasts dont give up. I have had that thing wide open, first gear,locked in low, tachin about 5 grand.Taking 4 cement water troughs at several thousand LBS a piece up some hills on a goose neck flat bed right off the carrizo plains in CA. The temp is sky high, she is beginning to talk back.(the occasional BAM) but she aint about to stop turning thoes wheels. That old 74 ranger has earned more respect than any other vehicle i l know.


The 75 bronc on the other hand has ####ed me numerouse times!

Its just soo fun to break down at dusk about 4 miles from home on your own property with a hot stinky elk stuffed into the back seat! Couldent even get the heart and liver back to the Padrone in time to eat mm for dinner

Free is good!

Well, I have been wanting a decent outfit to use for 'work' - something heavy duty, something 4 wheel drive, something with at least an extended cab to haul saws, gear, friends & family, something that isn't totally beat to $hit and something cheap - all those things combined is quite hard to find. All this is in an effort to not beat up the Cowboy Cadillac too much and keep it nice for road trips, family camping/vacation, long distance hauling, etc.

I actually went to look at a 76 F-250 this morning and while cruising the lot, my lovely wife exclaimed with enthusiasm "Josh, look at that Chevy". She is pretty in tune with my taste, and found just what WE were looking for.

1988 Chevy 1-ton Crew Cab, 4x4, 6.2L diesel. This truck is clean as can be - not a bit of rust to be found. Dana 60 front, Corporate 14 Bolt rear with limited slip, 4.10 gears. Best of all, it came with a 8274 Warn winch. All it needs is a good cleaning, a tune-up, fluid change for good measure, and a set of sides to actually put a load on her.

What do you guys think?

That's almost my dream truck. It would be my dream truck if it was black and had different mirrors and a Cummins with a 6spd conversion.
I'm hoping to have a truck like this someday for my daily driver.

You'd be surpised how much wood you can haul with an old Wheel Horse and a 10 cube cart. It's not the flashiest way of doing it but wheel weights,
V bar tires, chains and an 8 speed tranny with low range will pretty much get you where you have to go regardless of terrain.
And not to mention the cast iron Kohler engine is probably one of the worlds greatest inventions. And I can run this thing for days on a gallon of gas.

And for the chunks too heavy to lift my stepdad has a Toro Wheel Horse 520xi with a bucket loader like this one.

Nice to see a fellow Wheelhorse owner. Here are mine.
