Figured I would start my own thread and add pics of myself hauling things rather than cluttering up someone elses thread.MIL wants to sell her 1994 S10 Blazer 4.3 multi port auto with 267k miles on it and has been parked for over 2 years, throw new battery in it and still no start, add fresh gass check spark both good, no fuel so it got hand winched onto the trailer to come home with me for a fuel pump and clean up to sell for her."update" got the fuel pump in and she sprang to life, warmed it up and the muffler came apart inside :banghead:Rear rig is a 1990 S10 2.5 5 spd 160k miles my brother in law donated to me, very rusty but engine and tranny are strong runners so home it comes with me as a beater pickup after I replace the valve cover gasket and fix the temp sensor.Not bad for a few hours work.Next project is to build side boards for the trailer to haul scrap off her farm to clean up and then.................................... To load it up with fire wood!!!!!

Going to be a busy weekend, Wife is going to be gone for a business trip for 4 days, it is my 4 day weekend so I am going to be getting stuff done, friday haul tractor and Saturday will have my 20 foot stock trailer "My wood hauler" and cutting firewood from a ton of downed trees in my area from nasty straight line winds clocked at between 85-105 mph this weekend.

 

I will try and get pics of my wood hauler filled up with a load of tinder "20' long X 7' wide gooseneck stock trailer".

My back hurts already just thinking about it.

Well here is the 1970 John Deere 5020 going to a new home, 115 miles loaded one way gross was in the neighborhood of 31-32K lbs. pickup, trailer, supplies and me weigh in at around 15K lbs. and tractor is in neighborhood of 16-17K lbs. low 80's low breeze under 10 mph all day and high humidty. Ran with cruise set at 70 loaded and about 78 unloaded headed home, smarty level 2 did 9mpg overall running hard.

 

After getting back to the farm I swapped over to my 20' Keifer stock trailer to go get a load of downed cottonwood from a coworkers yard for this coming winter.

 

This is how real men haul wood, non of those little boy trailers here.  My rig earns its keep.

 

 

Forgot my camera at home today after uploading pics last night so didn't get any trailer shots of the load of wood today.

Figured I would throw in a pic of what my yard machine tow rig looks like in its usual routine of hauling wood scraps from wind storms and firewood believe it or not I heap this little trailer full and the Honda doesn't even grunt puling it around just need to plan ahead for the stops with a full load of unsplit wood   , also have a 1979 full sized 1/2 ton chevy pickup box trailer that gets pulled around by my 1998 Honda TRX 300 just like this Mitsubishi mighty max box, can't fill the chevy trailer as full though as it pushes the Honda around too much and is hard to stop on the down hill direction.

 

Rarely if ever ride the Honda leisurely it is always hooked to one trailer or another "Earning its keep as well".

 

If you notice in the background half hidden by the blue spruce is my 24 HP B2150 Kubota hooked up to my 22 foot triple tube pontoon trailer, it too gets worked hard.

Had to move it anyhow to get the Cummins hooked up as I am headed to the water here shortly so got a better shot of the Kubota getting its workout for the day.

LOL... I just pull the same stunt yesterday. I hitched up the BigTex 70TV to the little Honda Rancher ATV and proceeded to toss firewood into the trailer with MoparMom. We filled that trailer mounded as as as possible. Then using the little ATV rolled the trailer to the wood shed and stacked the entire 1.75 cords of split firewood.

 

I know I know if you don't have pictures it didn't happen... Next load I'll get a picture of it.

I can see it done with a rancher, more machine than my TRX 300, if I tried to hook up that trailer to my rig the seat would be dragging on the ground lol.

The little Honda 4 wheel found a new home a few days ago, I never used it much and needed the garage space so I parted with it. I have the Kubota tractor for use as a trailer tugger around the yard so no use in keeping and maintaining a hunk that never gets used.

 

Also forgot the camera at home but did haul a steer to the sales ring earlier this week too. Have a nice weekend weather wise so for me is is going to be all about winterizing and wood splitting and cleaning up the yard and giving things and end of the season bath around the house and yard as well as digging produce from the garden, lots to do.

If you have any time on your hands after you finish your winterizing come on over and I'll put you to work on my projects!

I'll be lucky to get a fraction of what I need done before the snow balls hit me in the keester as usual.
