So there was no control of the wheels plus the vehicle did not drive. So that was the only way that we were able to get the Jeep up on the trailer. There was no place to tie it down to on the back end of the trailer. But I got it home and the D is still running strong.
It also seems that Uhaul wants the trailers to be tongue heavy. That IS safer than having it too tongue light which will cause massive fishtailing.

yea we just got anew stihl saw(they have it badged woodboss, not sure what the model number is off hand) last year(we thought the old 011 had finally died but it hadnt ), the hedge trimmers are stihl, and as stuff dies we are just replacing them with stihl products, makes life easier in the long run if everything JUST WORKS

The only Stihl saws I'll own have white rear handles. Those are the pro models. The only Husky saws I'll own are ones that are badged "XP". That is Husky's pro model designation. I cut trees for a living so I count on my saws to make me my money (along with all my other equipment.)

ours has a white handle on it, the 011 is from when stihl only made contractor grade saws, and it is kinda small for what you would buy these days, very good for climbing ladders ect with, and fits in the backseat of my dads truck very nicely (more space for wood in the bed ) ever since we started heating the house w/ the wood stove we have been going through btwn 12-16 chords of firewood a year, btw if you are ever working in northern NJ let me know, i got a place you can get rid of a load of wood for free

12 - 16 cords? What do you have? 3 or 4 stoves? Cord of wood is a stack 4' by 4' by 8'. Sure you burn that much in a year?

We used to burn a lot as well.


Those are some serious pictures of weight handling.

well lets see we have two rows 4 feet wide (closer to 5 ft tall) and they run cloe the full length of the house (house is 50 ft long) id guess about 40-45ft or so so 40/8= 5 * 2 =10 chords, and as i said they are more like 5 ft tall (top is more, but we have pallets under them so 5 ft of stacked wood) so yea id say thats a fair estimate considering we burn all of it every year. and yes our back yard is currently being filled up with unsplit firewood, not sure how much that is bc we just dump it out of the truck lol

and we only have one stove, but a 50x30 ft house the stove is in the basement and my parents think that 80*F is "a little chilly" FML,
