    Yea...that's a good thought till you forget about it when your backing up and cut it a little more left than you thought and hear that crunch of the tail lights and bending metal. I dunno how I would know something like that, but I heard it wasn't the cheapest learning experience.

    Trailer looks great too.

    I never hit it, but I had a plastic truck box on the tongue of my jet skit trailer 20 years ago. Well, I may have hit it.....but it was plastic and I never noticed.

    Nice set up. How many saws can you fit in the box?

    HA! Yeah I was thinking about that but as it sits right now if I load the cubic feet that I have with dry pine I'll be "at" my max load capacity.

    2 for sure 3 or 4 if I stack 'em. I only bring 2 saws when I'm out cutting. I'll be able to fit my pickaroon, splitting axe, tools and other nick nacks in there though.

    3500#. If my calculations are correct I can get about 1900# of wood in there.

    Probably November or December to start getting my mom ahead. I'm still working on processing a huge Ponderosa we took down last year.

    Great!! Up here I often see trucks and trailers overloaded with firewood. Glad you're erring on the side of caution and not oh NO.:yes:
