Nice, it should work well for that.
I just sold a little 5x8 that would have been nice for that, I wanted to keep it but I cant keep them all, one I have bills I have to pay, and two I don't have as much space as @cantoo lol.
I am however planning on keeping the 16' 12k tilt trailer I bought last week, well at least for a while :laugh:. I have to repair the dolly on it, I tore it all down last week and it's on the things to do this week.
Here's the 5x8 and the 4x8 I sold, and the one that replaced the 4x8. The 4x8 is almost exactly the same(same manufacture) except the tires aren't bald and the wood is all solid :happy:.

Here's one I may pick up, I don't have one this size yet, not sure where I could haul it at, it's a little wide :oops::lol:.

Mine is basically a 6x8 “Walmart” version of your Load Rite. I believe it’s a North Country brand judging by metal.

I thought about stake sides but then I’d be tempted to haul wood which would overload it and don’t need broken stuff.

Walmart:crazy2:, don't get me riled up this early, I'm already bummed about the time change :baba:.
That one was in real nice shape, had been sitting in a storage unit most it's life, the wolmanized wood looked better than new. A lot of the galvanized coating was flaking off, but it looked as though it was still protecting the metal. I need to get back in touch with them at a later date, because they also have a covered trailer that's got to go, they just need to move some things first. I'm not thinking that will happen to quickly though, we'll see.
 
Good luck Nate. Nice pics as usual. Is that a wooden grunt tube?
Thanks Steve. It’s a plastic one, maybe I need a wooden one, don’t seem like the deer like this one, lol. Just pulled into an area where their putting in new subdivision, nice 3 point buck standing less than 50 yds from the truck.
 
Womanized? Autocorrect strikes again.

That trailer is a beaut. I had a 2 place 8X10 just like that but sold it when I had my side by side as the leaf springs couldn’t handle the weight. Rest of the trailer was bulletproof though.
:badpc::sucks: I fixed it :).
It was a nice trailer, it said 45mph on the tires o_O, I pulled it at 65-70 and it did just fine :rock:. The guy I sold it to wants to put a plastic shed on it that's 6x8, he's in the floodplain of a river and the DEQ is giving him a hard time. If it's on the trailer they cant say anything, because he can move it he said.
 
@ maud, if your looking for a decent crossbow, I picked up a Killer Instinct 405 at Cabellas for $200. Lifetime warranty too and no issues yet.

Had the chance to sit on Halloween for a little before I had to head home to get to my little ones. 30 degrees in Penn’s Woods, perfect morning and then firepit outfront for as Halloween festivities started.C83791FD-D917-4481-AE61-92D0B4306CA0.jpeg0E6AE6D5-A426-498C-A273-CBA5A76DBBFD.jpeg
 
Last night on our final bio-break at around 11:30 Scout and I heard a tremendous crashing and crackling, followed by a thump we could feel through the ground from the woods behind my house. This morning Scout and I found the source, and he measured it up for me.

I put it here in Scrounging for Firewood, because I didn't actually have to saw it down. In fact, I haven't sawed a firewood tree down this year. Mother Nature has been a great provider this year with all the storms.

I delivered my final cord of seasoned Oak on Saturday. First time I've ever run out before November. I have a little birch that came down last winter and I have it processed and ready to go for those desperate folks who will show up in January and February.

And, for the divergence in our thread - This guy is sharing his essence right under my stand, though of course, he is only sharing at night now that the season has started:

That's a nice sized stick for sure.
When I first looked at the picture it looked like a non-typical rack, then I realized I was looking at the wrong end:lol:. I'd shoot that :).
 
I would say you got your monies worth out of them. You wore center one down to nothing. Did you see any of this?View attachment 865612
I have only ran the mower deck a couple times, haven't used it since I sharpened them. I did spend a bunch of time getting the anti-scalp wheels pulled out of the deck as they were all seized in place. I had to grind/sand them all down a bit so they move freely, now I need to buy new pins for them. The JD didn't sell yet so no need to put the deck back on quite yet, besides I'm about done with mowing/blowing leaves for the yr anyway.

It was blowing and snowing like mad here yesterday, but nothing stuck for long. 40 here now and we are on a warming trend, they are saying 70 Sunday :havingarest: .

I probably have 15-20 calls but the first one I bought works the best. Made out of ........wait for it.....









HIGHLY VALUABLE BLACK WALNUT.:rock2: Used it to win the Greater Northeast Deer Calling Championship twice back in th 90's.
 
Figure I can get this in on page 2920, my b2920 :).
@Duce how those blades look:laughing:.

I borrow my buddy's B2920 all the time. I love that tractor. I was gonna buy one of the newer BX26 models, but it was gonna be $20K with loader, belly mower, and 4' rototiller.

I like it a lot, I didn't pay quite that much for it... or my l3800... combined:rock2:.
My neighbor just bout a little bx with a loader and a backhoe(I suggested he not get th BH) and it was 20k. I wouldn't do that unless I was making money with it, that's a lot of debt.
I was watching a b series over in PA that came with a loader and a 60" deck, not sure why, must be the TAD lol.
