    Nice!
    I like that trailer with the fold down sides , that has to be a big help unloading to the splitter.

    You have a great looking set-up going there.

    That is a lot of splitter trash Greg. Do you just shovel that into the furnace?

    I mainly get log loads from arborists where customers don’t want the wood, which its ability to dump makes it worth it. But the locust came from a buddy I helped. Since it was already cut up the drop side does make a nice little slide onto the splitter and a pickaroon can get almost to the whole trailer

    It is a deck over, 16 ft long and 8 ft wide, with slide out ramps so I can haul tractor. Only mod is welded deals inside in corners and middle to tie down tractor or mini skid steer

    both sides drop and two way tail gate in case you need to tail gate off gravel etc and dump of course main helpful feature

    I think it’s good to haul 7000 lbs and weighs 3000 empty

    And on other misc note, I like deck over as it gives you wider load capacity and gets the wood waist high for loads you split as you take it off, my prior trailer had wheels on side of trailer and made everything a foot off the ground if you know what I mean
