Wood truck section? I got a new wood truck

I did haul some popular in the "trunk". I cut up an old popular that had fallen at my sister's house. When I would visit her, I would bring back what I could. I am still interested in a small trailer. If I find a good deal on one I might borrow the money (I don't like doing that) and get it.

 

Hauling a little wood on a small trailer pulled by a car is no different than hauling 5-6 adults inside your car...and you wouldn't worry about your transmission doing that, would you?
Yeah, keep an eye open...there are cheap, and even free trailers (if you don't mind a lil fixin on it) out there sometimes

 

No, you are correct there. It is just that after having to replace the transmission I am nervous LOL. Having a small trailer; I might could even learn to back one , would be nice. I have had to haul 2X10s inside of my car and that makes me nervous because even a small accident could see that wood smashing my head in. I might ask my BIL to keep a look out as well, he knows a lot of people. I could have hauled the two loads I did yesterday in one trip with a trailer.

 

Wow that trailer splits the wood when you load it................

 

Yes, the trailer folks said it is a little known option, glad I got it.

 

Backing a small trailer is way harder than backing a 16 or 20ft trailer. And if it sits so low that you can't see it, that makes it almost impossible.

 

Years ago when we were just starting here, I borrowed a trailer to hitch to the tractor. I tried backing the trailer and gave up. I would unhitch the trailer, pull it out of the way, turn the tractor around and then pull the trailer up and hitch it back.

 

I use to haul wood with a car n trailer , only difference now is , same trailer I pull it with a jeep.
A lot of people have trouble backing a trailer cuz they go way to fast , go very very slow and adjust steering as needed, if you can't see it put flags on rear corners

 

Here's my wood truck but , I never put wood in it


Saws n tool s in the truck


Wood goes in here

 

That was what I was going to say. Screw PVC pipes to the rear corners or driveway markers or even just some small straight sticks with flags, just something so you can see what the rear of that trailer is doing if it's out oF sight.

 

Yup, did that with a little trailer I had a long time ago

 

You need to practice when you are not depending on the outcome. Practice and practice. Go to YouTube for hints. Sometimes seeing it and having it explained at the same time does wonders. The shorter the trailer, the more difficult is the back up.

 

These magnetic telescoping trailer hitch alignment tools work great for hooking up the trailer, and then once moved to the back corners of the trailer, make it easy to see for backing.

That is pretty neat. Guess what else they could be used for? How about converting one into a firewood length marker that can be varied; 16 inch log, 18 inch logs, 24 inch logs.

 

I've been thinking about picking them up for a long time but every time I'm there I forget

 

I tried that...they vibrate right off...was gonna get a better magnet for it, but just went back to my tape measure and marking paint...for now...gonna copy a different kind of marker that I seen around here somewheres...

 

Wow nice trailer.

 

i need to start getting more wood in i drive a old ford and about killed the tailgate last year when a tree fell back and smacked the tail gate.

 

An old wood truck can truck wood but , how much wood can a wood truck, truck ?

 

two ricks.
