That thing is awesome! Not that much of a load on it but other than riding nicer, it doesn't know it's back there. Still need to get used to not just throwing wood in so I don't dent or scratch it now. With any luck a member here will get a hold of me so I can take it on the 100 or so miles trip.
2nd load to a customer from Friday, 2 towns/7 miles away. Mulberry, hickory, beech, sugar maple, black locust, and a few pieces of cherry.
I have not posted anything for a while because I got a new iPhone and haven’t been able to load any pictures since. Does anyone have any experience/suggestions with this?
Decided to make up my own spring pack as the wood hauler was squating too much for my liking. I had put 2 extra leaves prior but this 1 ton never had helpers on it when I got it. It basically has 2 sets of 1 ton springs now and the helpers will distribute the weight better to the frame. The bed I made is also structural to the frame and is 2 lengths of 3/8" angle welded together. Load shown here is 1.25 cord. It is dry so green wood and better species will add more weight. This is probably 80% ash with the rest being elm and oak. With this load it squated right ar 2 inches. When I put the helper hangers on I "adjusted" them so they are just barely rubbing when empty. This was the first run with a fuller load and so far am very pleased with it.
I'm in the same boat. To post pics I have to take a screen shot, copy that, then paste it. Otherwise my pics are too large and won't upload.
