    Took him a load of cherry, maple, and walnut. My wife and I always supply him with the wood he needs for his fireplace. He is retired and burns a good bit for just having a fireplace. This is the first time I was able to use the dump trailer for the delivery. Only tough part was getting backed into the drive. It is TIGHT getting a trailer into there. But the unloading was great, I left the tailgate closed and raised the dump. Worked awesome, as we pulled splits out to stack it just kept feeding the splits to the bottom of the trailer. Barely had to bend over at all to get an armload.
