    That would suck dealing with 8ft logs. I put 20-30fters on my processor. Used to do tree length but found they tangle up too much.

    Got the sides almost done. Had to make a gate smaller, truck bed is 1" narrower and I didn't realize when I welded in the gate posts.

    Cut 1" out if the gate, somehow bottom was 45" and top 45 1/2"! Had to cut it apart again!

    Welded it up, and realized its not sitting flat... Argh! I had it clamped on a forklift tines and a guess one if the forks is bent.

    Had to leave it at 18ft, 2 ft longer would hit the ground hard while dumping. Might end up being a 5.5 cord truck.

    The truck pic loaded for me, it's the first thing you see in this thread. Nice pickup for your operation Nate.
    After reading all the info about your operation I'd like to see see some of your other equipment too. The processor sounds like a monster too.
