Maiden Voyage------------tool gloat

[Gary Max]

I just couldn't stand it, had to see how well my new trailer was going to work hauling logs/blanks home. Here's a pair of Sassafrass logs I just hauled home. I spent the extra money and got 5,500 lbs axles.

[Steve Schlumpf]

WOW!! Looks like quite the trailer!! Have to ask... how in the world did you get those logs onto the trailer??

[Mark Engel]

Looks like it did real well.

[Tony De Masi]

Nice haul and hauler too. I hope those were loaded on the trailer for you.

[John Keeton]

That's a lot of trailer!!!! And, a lot of sassafras! I hope you like turning it better than did I - not one of my favorites for turning. Not bad for flatwork, though.

[Bob Bergstrom]

Oh boy!! Fill the trailer up and watch the gas gauge go down. Hope that pickup is a diesel. LOL.

[Gary Max]

WOW!! Looks like quite the trailer!! Have to ask... how in the world did you get those logs onto the trailer??

These where bought at a logging yard---- I just stood there and watched a loader drop them both on the trailer at the same time.

[Gary Max]

360 Hemi----and it knows where the gas stations are

[Steve Schlumpf]

Well - that makes sense!! I just couldn't figure a way for one person to do that... and have enough energy to type up a gloat about it!!

[Gary Max]

Steve I cut them in thirds on the trailer and spin the logs sideways. They are easy to roll off from that point.

[Tim Thiebaut]

That trailer isnt even breaking a sweat witht those logs, congrat on the new trailer...my dodge 2500 has the V10 magnum....I know where the gas stations are to...!!

[Gary Max]

I did turn a HF today--- the wood is stained with dark streaks and grey spots. Going to peddler the finished product as primative with a soft matte finish.

[Greg Just]

Now that's a trailer. I just purchased a new pickup and next I need a trailer! Looks like that should handle just about all your needs.

[Gary Max]

I just bought the truck---6 foot bed with a hard shell cover on it---- I got a good enough deal on the truck to pay for the trailer. I have missed to many good deal on logs because I could not haul them.

[Roger Chandler]

REAL nice wood hauler!

[Baxter Smith]

Great looking rig Gary! Sort of glad I don't have something that big. Almost afraid of what I might try and haul home.

[Pete Jordan]

That is soooo sweet!

Congrats on the trailer and the truck!

[charlie knighton]

Gary, congratulations on trailer and truck, the sasafrass smells great while turning, enjoy

Went to get my topper installed today and they called after I dropped the truck off and they ordered the wrong one. Apparently a GMC bed and Silverado are not the same size and shape - I get to wait another 2-3 weeks! I have had the truck about 2 months

[Dwight McNutt]

Gary, nice looking truck, trailer, and load. Hope many more loads grace your doorstep, and Thanks for buying an American product.

Dewight that comes back to one of my pet peevees---------Service
For me everything fits into 2 groups
1)things that get fixed
2)stuff that gets trashed
I hope to haul some Walnut home real soon---we are just about sold out of it.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Gary I must say great haul, hauler and nice puller. How do you like the hard cover? I sure do like mine and had a bed rug installed. What is nice about it is you can sit your chain saw by the tailgate and it is there when you stop. Nothing moves on that bed rug.

[Robert Snowden]

Glad to see you doing well

Bernie I am shopping for a spray in liner---so far $450.00 at the first place is shopped. I am sure I can do better.

[Gary Max]

Glad to see you doing well

Thanks Robert---- you know the story---- even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in awhile.

[Bill Bolen]

Fine wood hauler Gary. I can see you won't be lacking for turning stock this winter!

[Gary Max]

Bill that will be gone in the next 10 days.
We are heading into show season and I need the inventory.

[Jeff Nicol]

Gary, I need a trailer like that to haul my old 1955 Ford 640 tractor around when I need to use it other than where I store it on my old 40 acres, now owned by one of my best friends so it is like it is still mine, but I don't have to pay the taxes! My buddy has a Dodge truck and it has the fuel saver thing where it runs on 4 cylinders once in a while and we took it for a fishing trip to the Northwest Angle of Minnisota and we got just under 20mpg with 4 of us in the truck and all our gear, so I hope you get that when not hauling big trailer loads!

I still have my urban log hauler trailer with the "I" beam and chain hoist on it for hauling logs so I don't need another one but I did get half of a 70' mobile home frame with the tongue on it and I have 2 6000# axles to put under it so some day I may have my big trailer. Just need to find time, and soon I will have some, if all goes well.

Have fun and nice toys,

Jeff

[Tim Rinehart]

Gary, that looks like a pretty darn sturdy trailer...nice!! You may want to take a look at Jeff Nicol's site to see his Urban Log Hauler video...it would be a nice upgrade to that trailer. Ever since I saw the video....I keep wanting to find a used trailer and do something similar.
