...and I know what I got this time. There is some red oak, the clean part of the trunk. About 5' long and 24" diameter. Quartered. Silver maple, clean trunk, also about 5' long but 16"-18" dia., quartered. Threw a few rounds of douglas fir and an unidentified maple on top. They say job-site clean-up is scheduled for next Wednesday so I might get a few more loads before then. KaptJaq
Before I go any higher I'm gonna get a headache rack. The picture is deceptive but the truck is parked on a very steep incline shifting the weight to the back. I've loaded 1,500+ pounds of coal in the back with no problem. If I start having problems I might add airbags to the back springs... KaptJaq
When my wife is away I know I can always come here for my daily dose of undeserved abuse... I always get a little buzz from the scent of 2-stroke...
Yea side boards & rear window protection a real good idea for a wood hauler. "Don't mind the mule, load the wagon " Nice load of some good looking wood !
And again... Finally decided to put a new chain on the saw and it makes a difference. Was using a chain that had been pro sharpened then field touched-up. Was cutting and throwing reasonable chips but I remember the saw doing better. The new chain sped things up a lot. This load took about an hour plus the 10 minute ride each way. Same mix, red oak, hard maple, and two fir rounds on top. Each load is a week or more worth of heat for me. KaptJaq
As soon as it rains or snows my wife takes it. If it has a dent she'll make me fix it. I shudda kept the '02 Nissan Frontier as my wood hauler. No bells or whistles so she never "borrowed" it. KaptJaq
Except of course this dent which she did backing into a snow bank that concealed a guard-rail. KaptJaq
