I managed to cut and haul two loads yesterday before it got too windy to cut anymore.

The new tires on my log truck have made a HUGE differance in traction! My old tire (which came on the truck and were brand new when I got it) were road tires and didn't grab worth a @#$@@@#$#@$#@##%$

Hey John, I seem to have found some of that green Gold you keep talking about.

Looks like yer having some fun, Ryan.

Been too cold up here to do a whole lot. Heck, even the GAS powered equipment don't wanna go... and it's gonna get colder yet!

Those are some nice pics! I know what you mean about the truck tires. I have a GMC 1-ton I deliver firewood with. It has road tires on it & it doesn`t grab worth a darn either. New tires on the way.

Ryan, A self-loader would be a good investment for you. It really helps when you start mid-night logging! A big deck of logs is anybody's after mid-night, at least in California! Good luck, Dennis

Ryan, Your pulp mills will take small loads like that?

NICE looking skidder! Looks like an old Franklin 132 in mint condition.

Ben, Weyerhaeuser will buy two tons and up at a time. You have to deliver the wood to them, NO ONE around here will buy it off the landing, YOU have to haul it! By the way thats a tractor trailer loads worth right there, I don't like messing with pulp but it comes with the territory! That would be 3 of my truck loads and everyone around here uses a straight truck as you wouldn't be able to get a simi trailer in most of these places here in the mountains!

Mountainman, you're close; its a 1967 Franklin model 130B. It has a 353 Detroit motor, 4 speed fuller tranny, I forgot who made the transfer case, rockwell axels and a Franklin M600 winch.

How do you load your truck when the JD will not lift the log?
I have a 5410 and have a couple butt logs off of a Buttonwood that I can't lift and I am to cheap to pay a log truck with a load to move them six miles.
