That's a lot of wood you got done Dave! Looks great too, nice neat stacks and splits... I'm thinking once it gets a little cooler, slow and steady will get the job done... Nice start to the fall gathering.....
Very nice Dave! Glad to see you out and about strutting your stuff! Did you pull the trailer loaded with the lawn mower? Edit ) pull the trailer full of wood with the lawn mower? My typing isn't gooder tonight.
Landscape cloth. I used several of the 8" landscape staples to hold it down & can mow right over the edge. Real close to tarps but it lets water thru slow.
Yep. I prefer the smaller trailer, but it's still at my SIL's. Weird seeing those empty pallets Dave.
I love dogs. Is Casper retriever , I had red nose pitbulls all my life growing up. I would like to get my kids a golden retriever . Mans best friend
His mom is lab/golden mix, but dad is purebred lab. We have both of them too, along with a chocolate lab, and a weiner dog.
You won't be disappointed Pete. I've logged thousands of miles pulling various dif trailers/carts behind lawn tractors. You'll love it.
I've hauled many-a-tree out of the woods with my JD 318 and my grandpa's old wood trailer. Mostly because i dont have any better toys yet, but I like the maneuverability. I can get just about anywhere with it, without disturbing anything. There's more than a couple times I wish I had some chains on her though, like papadave. Usually because i had too big of a load on the trailer. But so far I've been able to get-r-done with the $40 Reese hand winch I mounted to the trailer.
The tractor had a little 5/8th hole where I just put a 1 & 7/8th" ball. The splitter is that size, but the trailer is 2". For the work I do with the big trailer, it's not an issue. I installed a ball type hitch thing on the little trailer (from TSC), and that only required 2-3 bolt holes to be drilled. Made hitching up that trailer a breeze. I put the chains on for winter traction, because I got really tired of sliding all over the driveway when plowing. Turf tires suck when plowing. Not gooder.
Just to clarify, this is a garden tractor. A little beefier than an LT, although I'm sure an LT can do some of the same things. This one and other GT type tractors can use equipment add-ons that would kill an LT. What I'd really like is a CUT with an FEL and a bucket. Of course, then I'd probably want a small excavator and a bobcat too.
