Wood Haulers - show us your woods rig.

[sloch24]

I'm wanting to get either a Chevy 4500 or a 5500. I need something heavier.

Why not another Dodge? It looks like yours treated you well... You do know that Dodge makes a 4500 and 5500 Chassis cab, right? (You can't tell I work for Chrysler, can you???)

I work for Chrysler also. I would love one of the Dodge 5500 trucks. But even with my discount it's 40k for just the truck. The dump bed I want would put it over 45k. I can get a 05 chevy 4500 or 5500 for around 20k with the a dump bed on it. With 20-30k miles. So it's strictly a money thing.

I like that trailer. I wanted my sides to come out over the wheels like that but instead of 45 deg angles, I wanted a 90 to come directly over the fenders and then up a foot or two.

Here is what I use. It's an old Manure Spreader with the rear Beaters taken out of it, and the Unloading Apron left in. It works off the PTO of the Tractor, and works the same principal as a Walking Floor. Holds roughly 7 to 8 Face Cords Bruce.

Does the spreader unload the wood?

Nice!! Why is the steering wheel on the wrong side.LOL.

Does the spreader unload the wood?

It sure Does. Works as slick as Cat Spit on An Elonium Floor. I just back it up to where I want the Wood to be Piled, and start unloading. When I can no longer reach the wood from the Back, I just put into gear, and let the Apron bring the wood to me. Once the Wood is at the back of the Spreader, I shut off the PTO on the Tractor. I Pile the Wood off, until I can't reach it again, and turn the PTO on again.
Around here, we are not to far from Mennonite Country. The put an Axel that turns like their Wagons on the Front, mount a Car Seat on it to sit on while driving the Teams of Horses, and mount a 10 or 12 HP Gas Engine on the front, to run the Manure Spreader, and pull it with a couple Teams of Horses, to spread their Manure.
I picked mine up from a Local Farmer for $50.00. I'm going to put another Axle on it to make a Tandem to pull with my Pickup Truck to deliver. I might even put a Gas Engine on it. To deliver, all you have to do is put it into gear, and pull ahead, until the Load is Off.
It works real good to take your Junk to the Dump to. Dad found one in a Bush while out Hunting Fox, and he knew the Farmer. He bought it, and we took out the Rear Beaters, and used it for a long time to pull the Fire Wood out of the Bush, and used it to pick Stones off the Fields.
You could not put a very big load of Stones on it, about half a load, and the Apron unloaded the Stones nicely. Bruce.
