    What we did was take the ramps off. Maybe take the trailer gate off and drag them off. Doesn't look like you have much room to maneuver on the try with a saw. If you hit a floor bolt or something, bad news for the chain.

    Can you pull the gate off? I know on my trailer I can take it off, but it’s kinda a pain to put back on by yourself...

    That’s a good idea. Been busy at my real job all day and I have that weight sitting in the trailer...ugh. I came out this morning on the way to work and saw one of the bearing caps had pooped off. I hope I didn’t bend an axel. Too much drama. I’m not volunteering for the big stuff any more. I won’t have time to noodle until Sunday.

    I prioritized smoking a cigar and a drinking a Golden Monkey and relaxing tonight...prob bad decision.

    Can’t figure it out yet. It’s not pulling smooth anymore. I’m getting a big load of ash tomorrow so we will see how it handles.

    That standing monster doesn’t look like any fun at all. Is it solid at least? I see some difficult splitting in your future
