    I bet you'd have to fill that trailer with lead to make it feel the load. Cool rig, and nice work!

    Thanks. It appears to sit a bit lower than our Kubota but they are pretty much alike. I wanted to look at one when we bought the Kubota but the local dealer didn't seem to be interested in talking to me so I just moved on.

    Nice set up the trailer is cool. Wish I had some hickory around here that I could use for smoking. Keep on hoarding. You gotta love it.

    Nice work Woodsnwoods , you must be way ahead on your wood inventory with all the work you've been doing.

    Are you in for a dry stretch?

    I am in the far two year range I think. I went deep into 17/18 wood this year, so I am back peddling to some extent. It looks like we have 4 dry days ahead. It has rained 40 of the last 60 days here, so it's been a mess. As you can see, there is plenty of mud. I still have 4.25 large (2-3 ft Dia) beech trees that my neighbor dropped for me. Slowly getting it all done.

    Cheers! Looking good there. It is nice to go out and get some "quiet time" with the equipment and etc we work so hard to earn.
