Loaded truck pics.

My what a big log you have.
That will make you lots of nice splits from those.

 

Heated handle bar?

 

No sir. Trying to source some out of Canada is not as easy as it sounds. I want a Arctic 661.

 

That’s a XS 500i and needs a big brother.

 

I was almost hoping you had a quick.

“Today for my friend-I have a deal”

 

Looks like your privacy fence will be replenished quickly!

 

We will both be happy when it’s back up.

 

Mixed ash/beech load for a repeat customer from last month:

 

Guessing half cord of very dry (white oak in the tote and the rest silver maple and ash.

 

Sweet loads. How's the new truck treating you?

 

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 would say that is a 1/2 cord, there’s a 1/3 in just the tote

 

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.
