This is what happens when the old Shih Tzu dog Griffin gets in the car before the German Shepard puppy Libby.

We had 2 dogs for a while. Dew,the old dog,taught Pumpkin what side of the car was his. He flipped her right over so fast. Dew did not like Pumpkin at all. For months we did not even dare to leave them alone. Dew gave Pumpkin A LOT of tough love.

The manufacturer will not recommend this but I have been told you can haul some lumber on your portable sawmill.  I would only do that with great caution.  I prob. overloaded my gooseneck a time or two.  this load only moved 2 blocks from a local church clearing a maple for a parking lot,
Doc,

 I have seen various warnings here against hauling anything on the mill because of tagging regulations. My state classifies my mill as a piece of mobile equipment and I do not have to buy a license plate. If I used it to haul anything besides the mill now it becomes a trailer and I could be dinged to buy a license plate. Be sure to check your regulations accordingly.

  I remember hauling 21' sections of chain link fence top rail pipe on my trailer mounted johnboat. I was putting a fence around our rural church cemetery near Albany Ga. They did not have water at the cemetery to mix the cement for the post holes so I stopped at the boat landing on the way, removed the stern plug and backed it down into the water till about 1/4 full, put the stern plug in to hold the water and drove it to the cemetery. it worked great, I could push the wheelbarrow of dry mix under the drain, remove the plug till I had the right mix. When done I took the plug out and drove home and it was dry by the time I got home. Most of us who fish have left that plug out by mistake but this case it served a different purpose.

 When Hurricane Hugo was headed up the coast and I was working on the USMC base getting ready for it my wife called from home asked what to do with the boat and I told her put the plug in and fill it with the hose. Added enough weight to hold it down and gave me a reserve of water to flush toilets and such in case of an outage.

I do not see a need to try that either!  Good thinking on the boat for a water trailer / reservoir. :)

I once hauled 3.5 cars on a 16' trailer and about 30 batteries in the bed to scrap with a ½ ton truck and no trailer brakes.   :o  Had a real good view of the sky.  ;D  Granted they were light cars (Civic, 2 MG B's, and a cut up Cherokee body) and had been stripped pretty good, but my weight ticket was about 17k lbs...  Won't do that again!

I did it once and didn't get caught.


 
The customer had one Cypress log at his residence and no way to haul it to the location where the other logs were.  I loaded the log up and away we went.   ;D

MM you live in a beautiful part of the country.  I agree, should only be done with caution.  Not too far, and not too heavy,  not too rough of terrain.  Might torque your frame, and if you are in an accident on a public road even if not you fault, someone may make a big deal out of it.
