    Red and white oak I'm told. Not sure If I should bring back logs but I'd like to figure out my yield while I'm there. This trailer is too small for the amount/distance I'd like to haul. Plus my Suburban won't survive with more in a load.

    Oak is good firewood but Im always sad when it's not used to build or trim something...quarter sawn oak is gorgeous. Plenty of dull wood to burn. Anyway congrats on your haul.

    I picked up a F350 Powerstroke, but this trailer is still the weak link. Kinda looking for a 5th wheel haul trailer, not sure yet.
