Post a pic of your woodhauler

[jebatty]

The main "tools" are: Husq 372XP chainsaw, Pug 4 x 6 cargo ATV, Kubota 34 hp 4 wd with pallet forks for lifting logs and rear ballast, lifting/skidding tongs for the tractor, skidding chains, and a 4-wheel log trailer that can be pulled by the Pug or Kubota. Plus wedges, full chainsaw protection gear, and a hand tongs to aid in moving/lifting smaller logs. Not shown is a trailer that will haul a little over 1/2 cord of c/s wood. Equipment width is about 6 feet to make it easy to move through the woods. The log trailer will handle 2000 lbs/load.

Nice! I figured you'd have something pedal-powered, or similarly green.

Sometimes I can use this too.

My FIL unloaded this old trailer on me. It works.

 

[JRHAWK9]

Here's mine. Just took the pics last night after work. Just got it all cleaned up on Sunday after putting 132 miles on it on the trails on Saturday. It serves dual purpose...work and play.

I am so jelling right now. Using my father in law's S10 AND trailer and you're still hauling 3x as much.

Not to mention simply have ACCESS to that much wood at any one time.

I have that EXACT truck (except 238k). Don't have a picture handy.

I use this little gorilla cart around the yard. Great for dropping splits in to go stack. Also have a trailer that I haul cars/tractors on (16 foot car hauler) that I built sides for, it is the background of the second pic. Always a great day when I get a big enough score to need that trailer, It will hold 2.5 cord level full.

One more wood hauling device for your thoughts. We stack our wood in my attached workshop, and bring in a cart full at a time. Here is our rolling cart.



Just bent some electrical conduit and bolted it to a cheapo HF rolling cart. Will stack about 5.5 feet high and roll it into the house.

IMO these are just about perfect wood haulers... well in the timber any way... to be perfect they would need tracks and a heavier grapple. Block Buster makes awesome fire wood processors but there grapples are a little weak.

Nice....

Was just thinking, being from South Africa, we do things differently but why are the trailer sides in America made from wood and not steel? Any reason for that?

 

[Doug Morford]

I think it's because it costs quite a bit less than steel. It's also a lot easier to work with wood, as a lot of people don't have the tools/skills to work with steel.

Time and money aside, I would love to put steel racks on both my truck and trailer.

Take what Doug said (which is accurate for most people): Cost and ease. Then add this:
It is also much lighter than steel. Every bit of weight you add to the trailer in structure is weight you aren't able to put on the trailer in cargo.

Thanks for the replies.

Here are a few pics of my truck picking up a few loads of wood this week from my grandparent's house. A long bed sure would be nice sometimes.

1989 F-150 4x4

I sure would have liked to have found a Ford F150 4X4 with the 300 cid 6 and 4 or 5 speed manual. That '89 is nice. Not sure if it's 4WD, may not need to be as
long as it has a load of wood in it.

OT:I notice that your splitter's end plate also has a slight bend to it. My '36 ton' splitter has a plate twice the thickness and I noticed a slight bend in it too. I don't force the wedge through anymore but back off as soon as it stalls.

My old pellet hauler: 1998 Ram 1500, 360 with some bolt ons, 6 inch fabtech lift, 38's, lockers, warn winch, and more



The new hauler: 2012 Ram 1500 Express. 5.7 and basically stock



Too much 3/4 gravel in the bed there. I think the truck had like 1500 miles on it here.

It was like that when I got it used. If it has gotten worse I haven't noticed. When it breaks, I will weld in back

Here's a Garden Tractor I still have but it's not running right now, this thing was nearly unstoppable. I have even more weights to go on it. I need to get it running again.

This one the Garden Tractor, a JD 425, has been sold and replaced with a JD X720

Good thing you said, "nearly".
