Here's my rig on a load a couple days ago. First time dealing with Sassafras AND I LOVE IT! Smells so good and not over powering. Have some little saplings and roots so I plan on growing some myself and making some tea/real root beer!:cheers:

And some Ford rep headed your way when the gun is re loaded!!!
 
i bought the frame at tsc but added all the tubing and wood thanks for the compliment

Tractor cargo box is the BEST. I built mine all from a big oak skid then pressure treated. I use the hay forks to tote it around. Love it. Lower to ground, roll in huge rounds, pick it up, toodle on down the line through mud or whatever. Just improves traction. Built mine with a removable back panel, with extensions. I clamp a big iron pipe on there and can pull rolls of wire fencing or barbed wire with it, man, that's handy.
 
I picked this up today for the wheeler.

Locally made. The deck is Popple and sides are pine. Both milled from the builders own trees.

I threw some stain on her since the wood was raw and she really sassed up with 2 coats.

2200 lb rated axles, hi speed bearings, and 16" ground clearance. It should suit me well
 
Here's a couple pics of how I get wood, out of the woods, around the house. If I only need a little I use the wheel barrow. If I need more, I use the trailer. The trailer holds exactly 1/2 cord. If I need to go out on the road I have an eight foot dump trailer, Joe.

My operation is probably way smaller than most of you. I cut in the woods out my back door. I like to buck a tank of gas in the Dolmar PS 510 of downed red oak, then take a break. Then I get the JD and the small cart and wind my way through the trees without making a road or path, grab a load, take it back to my stacks where I unload, split, and stack. Then back into the woods. Usually takes about 6-8 of these loads to clean up a gas tank of cuts. I can get this done in a day if I take enough breaks.

And here is my day of work stacked for delivery tomorrow (JIT Firewood) This time of year I am splitting wood that has been down about 6 months, and should be perfect for next winter.

I did the same thing for a few years before I got my tractor, and I still use this setup to haul wood from my main stacks to the area under the deck next to the back door. It takes about 6 loads to haul a full cord.

The biggest problem I had was that I was getting stuck too often. I got the back tires filled with Rimguard (beet juice) and that really helped with the getting stuck problem.

Now I just use my tractor with the front end loader bucket, and I've got a bigger trailer that I sometimes hook up if I have a lot of wood to move.
 
Finally I get to add some pics.

New to me Wood hauler, went out for my 1st wood scrounge last weekend. I was really happy the truck..

My old garden tractor and quad move that trailer around too but I'm working on building an off road trailer, I'm tired of breaking wires and lights in the woods cause i can't maneuver that well
