Bit of a thread revival!

 

I had the trailer out today extracting Willow and Ash from a large garden, access that I could only just fit the truck through.

 

I've added high sides for a bigger load of small diameter wood. With a little fiddling, we rigged an arb trolley to the back to get some double loads out. There was only two of us on site, though we managed to load some hefty logs onto the trailer combo.

Looks like a big hinge on that lump of ash. Must've been some weight in it!

Good looking trailer. I remember last yrs pics and I'm still thinking of building a similar thing for the chipper to pull out.

 

Looks like a lump of Willow to me!! ,what are you using the willow for Dan? You could do with borrowing our Honda Big Red to tow it no marks on the grass then!

How are you by the way?:thumbup1:

Certainly is a Willow Phil. We discussed using a quad but decided it would probably struggle with some of the bigger loads, there's a fair bit of nose weight on the trailer due to the axle positioning.

 

Doing well cheers, long time no speak! How's things?

Tracked chipper teamed with this would be a great combo:thumbup1:
