Runnin' Loads

[lefturnfreek]

Being that over loaded, the tires already had some "give". All letting air out of them does, is lower their load capacity so they over heat. OR rim cut when you hit a pot hole or sharp bump.

For sure for sure, just being that far over loaded isn't good on anything especially if there is no give anywhere cause that's hows frames and axle housings get tweaked.

Ya I live out in the rural also and it's pretty much legal to pull anything with a tractor up to and including an entire gain elivator as long as you get the hydro wires moved, I was just ByB, nice Lee loader BTW.

Stilhfanboy, heres my ol Heavy Chevy. it took many cab high loads of green poplar out of a buddy cut site, poor ol truck just took it and I was praying not to meet DOT cause they woulda frisayed me....

Back in the "old" days, it was pretty common for someone to put a short chunk of 4x4 between the springs/frame when they over loaded their light duty PU. lol My brother had a 1962 Chevy 1/2 ton pu and was junking car's, he carried two pieces of 4x4 with him all the time.

Anyway, that's a Forester Co-Ax press on my bench, over the years, i've loaded over 100,000 rounds on it, and it's still tight and works perfectly... They are a GREAT reloading press!

Around here, it's a farming community and they just don't bother farming equipment, especially if you stick to the back roads.

I've brought a lot of logs home this way,

Here's the bench,

I posted my bench build picts. on one of the forums here, but I think they got lost when this site was having problems, there's NO fasteners at all, gravity holds it together...it was a fun project!

i don,t know where in the midwest you are, but that looks like beautiful country

Just another load of abuse on the 88 and here's my 2130 and a carrying platform taking a load. The ground is flat out mush in places so that's about all I can carry without the front end diving in.

Safe cutting to you out there guys.

My friend who has a tree business was working local. He called me up and said he had a bunch of hardwood coming down. I used my brothers Chevy 4500 dump(it holds more than mine) to pick it up. He had a Bobcat there to load it. This is one of two loads, mostly oak and maple.

Here a little abuse on the old Chevy thanks to air shocks.

 

[lefturnfreek]

Yup, that truck has taken a little taco job there...

 

[mr.finn]

Friend of mine doing a landscape job had to take down a bunch of trees. Called me up and said come pick up some wood. I got the big nasty norway maple(hydraulic splitter). Had a bobcat there I could load it with. Those two chunks on top are around 30' across.

Just runnin' a load with my Big Bear 350

 

[lefturnfreek]

So for the most part my wood for 20014/15 is done but will be hitting the bush again for the 2015/16 wood, so trust me more pic's are coming yet...

Here's 20+ cord for this year.



And now for something not seen much, my truck empty for a comparison.

Empty



Loaded




The drive shaft is in the back ground for comparison...

Lets see some more of your loads!!

Pulling a 4 x 8 wagon with tops from across the street from my house.

I really like all of that, leftturnfreak. You are really raising the production bar for the guys like me who scrounge a couple of trunk loads here and there. I only haul a few rounds at a time, maxed out at 9 mph!

 

[lefturnfreek]

Yes, technically I'm scrounging also just on a tittle larger scale. Both those loads are done with basically the same equipment but one's smaller, ones larger but my stuff looks a little rougher.

Keep em coming....

Well, there’s a load of big rocks across the ditch in the lower pastures, and I had a bit of elm cut up but not hauled due to being out when a T storm started, so in honor of the thread, something I hardly ever do, used the 2wd Ratsun to drive down and haul wood! HAHAHAHAHA! It made it! hehehehe Guessing maybe 3-4 wheelbarrows. Lot more there, but isn't cut up yet, I'll go back to using the tractor shortly.

coupla bonus pics, pic of me riding shotgun on the payloader smoothing out the rocks in the ditch, then bossman driving away in it. It's big...

[MiHawkeye]

That golf cart will pull that?!? Any ay it can make it over a few bumps with that load too, or is it a flat/straight shot?

 

[dancan]

Does this count ?

 

[ash man]

4 th load this morning. Knocking down the stnding dead ash along with the tops logged out two years ago.

As long as the radio works and it runs, drive it.
