What do you haul your wood in?

[Bill Wyko]

Just curious what everyone is haulin' with and is it diesel or gas? Here's my hauler.

[John Hart]

Got a crappy lil' pickup...but thinkin' on upgrading.;)

[Bill Wyko]

Hey John, I think thats a pic of my last truck.:D

[Ron Journeau]

Whaddya do, Bill, tear it out by the stump?? Try a chainsaw to cut it first.... Very nice hauler, BTW..beats my 3 cylinder 1 liter Firefly by just a bit;)

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Ok Bill, I don't feel bad about the dollars I spent on "Beauty" any more. I will say this for the benefit of all the Mustard gang. That sur'nuf is a purdy shade of Catsup!!:eek: :eek: :eek: :D :D On the serious side, Wow guy, Congrats, that is some wood hauler!!;)

[Rick Smith]

BUT - leave the trunk open and no need for anchor seal by the time I get home!

That would be a cool upgrade John. Not quite a horse, but close enough for the kids. ;) :D

Uh.....John......I've packed a few mules since I moved here to Idaho. IMHO they will pull or pack pound for pound more than a horse.....But I thought maybe I'd better point out John....those ARE NOT horsies.....the ears are too long!:eek: :rolleyes: :D

[Andy Hoyt]

Here be mine

60532

In my dreams, that is

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Everyone please excuse Andy he's still in shell shock from the last blast of mustard gas the blew up in our area.:mad: What he meant to say was, "Here is my Mayo Monster Wood Hauler." :eek: :eek: :D :D

Shoot, John. Don't you have a photo of one of the times that your neighbours used their horse team to pull your wife out of the ditch?

...art

ps: Nothing fancy 'bout my Toyota Sienna, but it does the job. Mostly it hauls the kids, more often'n lumber, so it suits.

[Jim Becker]

Andy, I actually SAW one of those things a couple months ago when I got off the DC Beltway onto Rockville Pike. A big red one passed me on the right as I was waiting for the light to make a U-turn south towards Bethesda. BIG pickup truck! Did I happen to mention... BIG????

[Earl Reid]

For the past 50 yrs I,ve hauled most of my wood in my car or a van (when I had one). When I lived in Chicago I hauled wood from Middlefield ,Oh. They would cut it in 4 or 5' lenths and I could get about 250 bd ft at a time.

If you keep a few bungee cords and a little rope behind the seat, you'd be surprised how much wood you can haul on one of these. DAMHIKT. Some of my best pieces of wood have been salvaged from construction sites.

[Mark Singer]

Here's my wood hauler. It's not the only thing it can haul/:cool:

[Jonathon Spafford]

Of course you have to drive wood around in style... here is my loader!!! (have to polish the pieces up real purdy to stick 'em on the leather seats though!!!) ;)

[George Tokarev]

Just sold my little pickup to get something with a back seat for granddaughter hauling, but it was only good for smaller stuff anyway, beause of the height. Best is my old snowmobile trailer with tilt or a good set of ramps. Comealong as required, and you can roll almost anything on up and tow it out of the woods. That way the log's still entire, and no coating required.

New vehicle was purchased with a receiver, you can bet. For my own woods the tractor and chains skid well.

[Mark Cothren]

Tell the truth, George... your wood-hauler is powered by......................DNA..........:D ;)

[John Hart]

Hey guys....that picture of the mule team is just a showroom foor picture. You can bet, I'd replace the mules with draft horses. I kinda like them cuz they do their share of the work.

....Ok ok....they do ALL of the work!;) :D

[CPeter James]

Here is mine with a piece for a chair spindle on back.

[Jason Slutsky]

Wow, those are some impressive haulers!! But don't any of you get a chance to work with anything other than domestic woods? I send this baby around the world once every couple months.

[Rex Guinn]

Just a few chunks at a time, but it's a lot of FUN!

Nice hauler, I have one like it.

My current "hauler" is great for big tools, too...

[Gary Herrmann]

I've got the same one Mark uses for big pieces, but in black. I'm not sure I'd fit in the one he uses for small pieces. Thats why I don't have one. Yeah, uhuh.

[Martin Braun]

I used to have a '94 Tercel for hauling wood. That had to go, so now it's a '97 Corolla. The seats in the back fold down for stuffing all the flat boards in. Shocked the local wood distributor when I got all my 8' boards in there.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I've got an old F-350 4x4......460 cu in gasoline engine....5 speed manual......4:10 rear end.....It'll haul anything to the next gas station....:cool:

[Kevin McPeek]

Well I'm not going ot say anything about everyones big trucks and what that could mean but here's my hauler. At least until I can find a beater truck for cheap, hey I am a woodturner after all. No sense on spending lots on that ;)

[Ed Scolforo]

Here's mine. The wood really rattles at 260 mph.

[Jeff Moffett]

After joining the mayo club, I had to settle for this...

Now that little veyron has to be the ultimate car for poaching wood :D:D (not that I know anything about that evil practice) ;)

http://home.metrocast.net/~cpjvkj/420ulogboom.jpgPeter, you brought back some fond memories. The first vehicle I ever drove was a JD tractor on the cotton gin I lived next to. My job was to drive drive the cotton bails from the gin to the storage yard. I was only 7 but I was in heaven.:D

[Bill Wyko]

My last truck was a 97' chevy 3500 4 door dually. It would pull like a team of mules, as fast as a team of mules, right to the next gas station:cool: . When I pulled my 5th wheel I got 4 mpg. Put 250,000 miles on her though. I keep em way too long thats why I went diesel.:D

MikeTCungradulations Mike thats a real beauty.:D I too used to have a ranger. It sure is nice to get that extra room in the cab isn't it.:)

[Keith Burns]

Ya had to ask, didn't ya ! This I use for the small things. I had just returned with a load of oak.

[Keith Burns]

Then for the really big stuff......................

Well crap, you caught me:rolleyes: Man I had to do a very small flatwork project for my wife. Please don't kick me out of the Turning Forum, it will never happen again !

[Mike Turkley]

[Bill Wyko]

I just had to show you guys this stump puller that showed up for an alarm today. It's a jeep that has been widened 30 inches and lifted who knows how much. And did I mention it has a 454 bb. Now this will pull down the timber.:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: BTW thats a full size dodge ram with a 9 inch lift on 38's next to it. The jeep has 46 inch tires

[Brett Baldwin]

Wow, can you say 'roids? And industrial strength to boot. I like my CJ just the size it is.

[Kurt Rosenzweig]

Here's my Scrambler that I just sold. Miss her already. I think my daughter misses it more. Were getting ready to build another one for her.

Here's a few more pics of this stump jumper.

[Brett Baldwin]

Really nice Scrambler Kurt. I bought my CJ-7 in north Jersey and it sure didn't look anywhere near that good. The poor thing quit rusting out here but the change in altitude and humidity was just too much for the old computer to deal with.

[John Taylor]

HI

This is my little machine.

The English Ford Ranger, it can take up to a ton at a time and has seen plenty of use. :D

I was trying to get this piece of wood in the back of my explorer, but had a little trouble. Think if I opened the tailgate and turned the tree a little more, it may have worked better.

[Bill Wyko]

Anybody count the rings on that monster? That thing had to be 1000 years old.

[Greg Cole]

My little old 97 Toyota Tacoma has been mine since the day it left the lot, and all of 97K for mileage..... has been used for hauling all sorts of "stuff". With 2" of extra suspension lift and more leaf springs than 2 stock Tacoma's ... I have a payload capacity above and beyond a new Dodge 1/2 ton! A buddy has one with a Hemi & I love poking him in the eye about that!!!
10 squares of 35 year roofing shingles was a weeeeee bit heavy, but we made it, slow n low in the back end!
It's been paid for since 2001, so the amount of lumber hauled should be the amount of the monthly payment, right? I keep telling myself that anyway.... but one of these days a new FJ Cruiser is coming home with me, and working DIRECTLY next to a Toyota dealer is a contant tease 1st class. I had heart set on rehabbing a 70'f FJ40, but the shop is crowded enough without adding a vehicle restore on top of the WW'ing....

[Greg Cole]

To take Mark's one for big pieces and one for little....
The Toyota in the background is for my small pieces, and the big red one is for what won't fit in the "Toy" so long as it's less than ohhh... about 35,000 lbs.
