Guess the weight 1.8.23

Dang just saw this. My guess was going to be 2351#s.

Anybody want to guess what this weighs, 8' box.

I haven't weighed it but know real close to how much of a cord it is.

 

Above the cab, 8' bed.. I'd guess 3,350lbs.

 

First off I put Timbren 8,000#s overload springs on the truck as I was tired of riding on the bump stops all the time.

I've unloaded a good 20 loads like this so far this year and it will yield two 10' rows 4' high. This pretty much translates 1:1 in after split wood. So 20/24ths = .83/cord, it is heavy.

Mix of red and white Oak with a smattering of hickory and occasional cherry. Discounting the latter two since there isn't a lot, figure 5,000#s cord.

My guess on this load is 4100#s.

BTW, if anyone complains about "dirty wood", does this qualify"

Unloading:

 

You have to account for the embedded rocks and dirt when guessing.
Definitely would buckle my Tundra frame!

 

Just saw this thread now. I was right there with my guess. Good to know my weight guess-o- mometer is still calibrated.

Now my pile of wood into stacked cordage internal meter is NOT very accurate I've found.

I wish I had a scale close. All are way out of my way.

 

I think there's 150 lbs of mud, dirt, and rocks in that Super duty load. All of 4250 lbs.

 

I believe ya..

 

We'll never know.

 

You should.

That's my kind of load. No point having an 8'bed and not using the whole thing. Those side boards are sweet! Sent you a pm too...

 

Those racks are made of 5/4 select Oak boards. They were spendy by are very strong and have held up well.

The first thing I did prior to the racks was put in a serious head ache rack to protect the back window.

 

I broke my back years ago. It was -30 and a very small stick slowly tipped over and tapped the window. It looked like a bunch of frost fell off of it and I didn't think anything of it....until I went to get in and the seat was covered with glass. I wondered where the glass came from until I felt the wind coming through the back window. I pulled the back window out of my '83 and had a heck of a time putting it in my '91 with a hair dryer and string at -30. We finally got it in and cleaned up the glass. At least now I have a slider window. I was planning on making a dump bed, but steel prices went so high I'm not even considering it right now. Just a flat bed would do.
