    Nice.
    You didn't slap together something little.
    The drive belts on that tractor must get nice and warm pulling a load up a hill.

    Now that I have a RAM 1500 on order my wish list has grown. The CAM Advantage dual axle 10' or maybe 12' is on my wish list. At least I'll be able to do pick drive-bys. I've passed so much wood dropped on the side of the road by work crews this year, it's killing me.

    I went with the 10 for maneuverability. Wish I went with the 12. Extra 2 feet doesn’t make much difference in maneuverability but it sure helps with other things.
    The winch setup has spoiled me. I only stop for logs now. ;)

    Well considering it’s shaft driven and a gear driven rear end the belts stay nice and cool.

    Ha! I had been through a good portion of this thread but went back to the beginning and went through it again. I had missed out on many of the haulers. Now I’m up to date, well, on this one anyway.

    20180228_133150.jpg Loaded down 12 foot single axle....wish I had a duel. Needs some work this year. Need to mount brake lights higher up, keep backing them into uneven ground, wiring is broke at plug, and wood needs to be resecured. 700 bucks from a buddy ain't bad. 20190606_164602.jpg Harbor freight junker 10 cuft. It sort of gets the job done, but almost 10 trips to move a cord of splits. I was thinking of adding wood sides. But also want to pull the trigger on a yutrax. That harbor freight job isn't good in the woods. Oh well, gotta use what I got for now.

    My trailer with lock box that carries my winch and other equipment to pull big rounds onto trailer or logs out of the woods plus the log arch we just built that needs a trial run.

    That'll be handy. Are you intending to use it for road legal scrounges as well? Great idea!

    Just for getting logs out of the woods that I can’t get to with the truck, hook it behind the Suzuki King Quad and bring the wood to where it’s easier to buck and handle.

    Ya, I know....lol...I was a rookie a few years back. It was kind of risky. I fortunately have a couple of angels trying to keep up with me, not letting serious things happen. They only let me get stuck in the mud about once a year.

    This is my little wood hauler... It started as a home made 4' x 8' back in the early 70's. My dad had it built for hauling supplies to deer camp behind the A-C B tractor. Me in the trailer with dad (L) and uncle (R)

    A couple of years ago, I rescued it and rebuilt it. Had it sand blasted, rebuilt the suspension, new paint, new lights..
