    One more guess the weight contest. Last one from me this year I promise. My trailer is approx 4 feet by 5 feet. This is very green, very heavy red oak. Cut last Thursday and split last Friday. Weighed on a state certified scale.
    Just the weight of the wood not the ATV or trailer.

    To give you an idea of the weight, I tried to take pics of the leaf springs:

    The springs are nearly straight! Winner will be whomever is closest without going over. Winner will be declared Monday morning. And the winner will receive a virtual 10# package of Black Angus ribeye steaks.
    Good luck and have fun.

    I beat the living heck out of that poor little craigslist trailer. It is constantly overloaded. I bent the tongue in a bow shape. Then I just flip it the tongue over and after a couple years it straightens itself out. I hit a cut off stump fully loaded now the axle is bent up and back but she rolls. The steel on this old trailer must be USA sourced no Chinese steel on this baby!

    I have a trailer with those little tires and they squat pretty good at 12-1400 lbs. I thought something had to be wrong with the picture!
