    I see it has a rack on back you can stack a few rounds on. Make a saw scabbard, and an axe holder and you're set. Did it have a hitch?

    ... no apologies needed with this FHC crew, thats for sure. Whether we grew up in urban jungles or country woods... everyone here "gets it". And when it's fun, to work hard cutting firewood... you know it's as good as it gets... :yes::D

    Yeah it's has a hitch but I wouldn't want to put much tongue weight it. It would need a hay wagon set up.
