lets c your wood hauler pictures

[upstateny]

My 2009 1500 with 5.3 and 6 speed. Hauled all of last years wood and a portion of this years with this truck.

This was the last load of split wood I had at another location. I had gotten tired of trucking it with that little box on the half ton and borrowed my gramps dump trailer again to bring it all home.


This was a load of beech and maple that a friend of mine gave me after taking them down in his yard the year prior.


This is this years new hauler. Bought the Duramax over the winter for dirt cheep, although it needed a transfercase rebuild and is high mileage (320k on it now). Bought the dump trailer from my uncle for $800 (duramax was 800 too!).

Out here a short log is 16 ft long as well as well we have the size to deal with, I've had two log loads meet weight at 80k.

Sounds like a good excuse to put some moonshine on the dmax I've had them in the 10 Second range in the 1/4 mile.

i understand for commercial use why they don't. but for firewood haulers, especially around my area, its muddy and you don't get too many days to get offroad to get wood out.
most require you to haul what is cut that day, some let multiple guys go in same area. so pulling out log lengths up to 10-12' is the way to go.

when i was clearing fence rows, i used tractors on combine rims and tires for flotation and still got stuck at times. once waded in waist deep water to chain logs and drag out to load. but always struggled with loading by yourself, if you do not own a loader, this type trailer would be a viable option.

I'd be more tempted with that kind of weather to use a winch and drum them out.

If I had a chance to pick one up cheap, I'd try it. I actually built something similar on my dump trailer and it worked well. Built out of left over 4X4's. Tried to pull at a real steep angle and snapped a 4X4.

I (re)built this 5x8 trailer from a rusted frame earlier this summer. It only has a 3500# load capacity but it works for my needs for now. I can haul about a cord of green at a time. The tow rig is a 2008 Tundra with the 5.7L and 6spd. This thing is a beast!

Japanese oak I picked up about 40 miles from the cabin took 1 load with the van and said heck no, and then about 3 truck loads with the ford to complete my share of the trees. The rest my friends took first pic is of the Oak after the first cuts it was about 45" across at the base the next is the ford half loaded then one with my youngest daughter supervising us, the last photo was the one time I used the van......only because I dd not want to noodle that thing down.

All have 3500lb axles.

that actually looks pretty cool. if it did not cost so much to register anything with wheels here in japan I would try that out in a heartbeat.

That's pretty sweet bro, and the pivot point on the axle looks like it would level out pretty good and pull straight even on a smaller vehicle. whats the tongue weight run loaded?

A couple nice standing dead red oaks, it was hot!

Nothing personal... Butt the economy of hauling one log at a time is ridiculous. . .lol I will put 3 or 6 of those logs on my trailer and I'm ... just something to think about
