    I used a 79 F-150 4x4, offroad til I got the tractors. You don't wanna see a pic of it:rofl: :lol: I could put a big load on it and would barely squat.

    This was replaced this year with a dump trailer. It was a 78 F-350 351M, 4 speed, 12' PTO dump

    Nice gear 94BULLITT ... smooth stone drive to carry loads over too. Looks like a beautiful area.

    New wood hauler. It's a big improvement over the old one. This one is rated for 14k.

    Yeah, the gigantic diesel engine keeps the front firmly planted and the cargo is over the rear axle if not slightly ahead so both axles get loaded. Full of green wood I'm hauling about 4000# back there. Well over 11000 gross.

    Sure do Ron.
    Just delivered 2 loads of Hedge in log form last Saturday, to an OWB guy.
    Use it to move round bales too.

    Not loaded at the moment, but when I go for any wood off the property, the F250 is the work horse......

    I'll run any piece of equipment, but really got a soft spot for the big Ford trucks.
    Old and new.
