    Yeah, we want to see a 14k load!

    Nice rig you have there, how many cords so you figure that will hold at a time?

    Thank you all for the comments. quick answers.....I paid $6,500 for it brand new at Auction. Auctioneer here is also a PJ and Big Tex trailer dealer. No idea how man cords it will hold, but this spring I will post some pictures. I do not have any wood moving now, and likely will not until spring. I have to get rid of several stumps, and bring in several loads of #2's for some road base also. Should be a fun spring. Merry Christmas all.

    Very nice.

    Off the top of my head 14,000# minus the weight of the trailer leaves a payload capacity of around 12,000#. 2 & 1/3 cord of green hardwood should get you at the capacity and it will be mighty full at that point.

    This is one of the first loads in my 18', 10,000# trailer. Now I throw a little more than this on to get to capacity.

    I ordered the trailer with the following upgrades:

    Twin 5200# axels with brakes on both
    Cross bracing on 12" centers
    Dove tail rear
    ATV gate in front for easier access and unloading
    HD Split rear gate with spring assist and knee bracing, rated for 7,000# capacity

    That's the way to do it, order it for you, buy once, cry once, great looking set up, it should give you many great years of service. Very nice trailer!!!
