88 F350, 460 EFI, 5spd, 4:10's, 112k. I'll prolly hate myself too, but if I can sell this and the 4wheeler....add that $ to tax return, I can pay off the truck and tractor.

Not the best pic, but it's a 90 dodge 3500 Cummins. Stack as much as I can on it, and it rides better..(= Nice plus, the diesel gets an average of 20mpg. Picked it up w/ 120k on it for 4k and haven't regretted it at all.

Those pics of the trailer were mid paintjob, thats why it looks like hell. Ive got it all painted now, and alot of people mistake it for a brand new trailer.
Ive got a smaller 12' trailer that I can take into the woods with me behind the tractor, but its only built for 3500 pounds so I cant put nearly the weight on that one.
Im looking for a used 12' dump to be able to take in the woods/hold the weight/be able to dump. I would also be able to use it for work, so it would be a double investment. I dont mind painting it like I did this yellow one, or doing minor mechanical work/welding to it.

Do I need a certain amount of posts for these pics to show up?

Unwanted Riff Raff.
Hitch, your pics show up if you click on them. If you want them to show up automatically in the post, just right click on the link while you're making the message, and copy the link location.
(After you've uploaded the images, the links will show down by the manage attachments button)
Once you've done that, go up above the text area to the button that looks like a mountain with a yellow background. When you click on that it will open a popup window that asks for the address of the image. Leave the http highlighted, just mouse up to the box, right click, and paste the address in and click ok, like this:
Repeat as needed for multiple pics, but it helps to hit enter a couple times between each image code, to leave a space between pics for easier viewing.
Nice trailer. What's the Deere? Gonna guess smaller 30 or 40 series, maybe 2630?

1971 1520 46 horse, reliable, does what we need, Id like something larger in the future, around 60 horse, but its really not necessary. It needs a motor rebuild in the next couple years, its starting to lose power, and the brush hog requires 40 horse.
The trailer is a 2002 Cam Superline 10K pound equipment hauler that we built the sides for.
Heres a better pic of the tractor pushing a burn pile, and a pic of the trailer with almost finished paint (had just installed the winch mount in the first pic, Ive also since put on red/white reflectors down the side). When we do the motor rebuild on the tractor, Im going to bring it down to our shop and tear it down and paint it.
Its about 80% Ash, and the rest is a mix of maple and yellow birch.
I actually got a complaint about a month after I delivered that. The guy's buddies had filled him all full of crap that it was all "soft, fast burning crap" and he accused me of being a "slick hick"
After I explained to him that there wasnt a single piece of softwood on the load, and that YELLOW birch is just as hard as rock maple, he apologized, called me a "hard working, honest man" and that was it. I dont blame him for not knowing about wood, and listening to his 'expert' friends, but I was offended by the way he went about it.

+1. And as was said already, nice trailer. A 10K trailer and enough truck would make a nice wood hauling combo. How long and wide is that trailer?

Its 16' long 83" wide, and with the sideboards and a stacked load of wood, it is exactly 2 cord. I was looking for a 20' 12K pounder, but this one popped up and was a good deal. In the future Id like a longer one, as I use it for work often, but this does the job for now.
I pull it with a 2500HD with the 8.1/Allison, no problems at all. My father will also on occasion pull it, with less of a load on it, with his GMC 2500 Van with the 6.0/4L80E and its got the motor to pull it, but the tranny isnt as fond on the hills. The tractor is about all the van wants to pull.

What rear-end gears are in your truck? And what year model is it? I've been doing some research on my next truck (after I sell my 1/2 ton), and the 8.1L with 3.73 (or 4.10 gears for about 2K more towing rating) would be one of my choices.
