They are talking about 11 axle trucks, who are running 35k over or more ;D

They are talking about 11 axle trucks, who are running 35k over or more ;D

I figured something had to be way different because the only way you would get 197k on the road around here is with a jeep/jeep/stinger lowboy..  What is the max permitted weight on 11 axles then, 150-160?

Anything over 80k has to be permitted here because the state doesn't recognize more than 5 axles without a permit.  Anything that gets much over 110k has to have a trip route reviewed and permitted individually each time the truck makes the trip.  I've had trips flat rejected and told that the state would not issue a permit to travel that route at my requested weight.

I found some pics of Michigan log trucks and I see what you mean now.

DOT has nothing on MSHA. I know a mine in VT that got a $35,000 fine for having a 1 1/4" knockout in a service panel not plugged off.

164,000 max Michigan weigt. That's with a minimum one tandem and three 9 foot spreads then 6 additional axles. That's the only combination to gross max. Most log trucks you see around here are 159,000 that's two 9 foot spreads and one tandem. Tandems are 32,000 9 foot spreads are 18,000 and any other axle is 13,000.

We went 6yrs without a ticket, finally they where forced into giving us one on paperwork from the secretary. Getting ready to open a 3rd pit and I'm just going shaking my head sometimes. See if your smart you just keep throwing your track screen on the lowboy and park it out front at the end of the day.  :D :D :D

You figured it out, but then you deleted the one pic that you posted from your gallery. So you end up with a blank in your post. The pic used in your post has to be the one that remains in your gallery.
You can fix it by modifying that post and put in the one in your gallery. But getting there.. nice truck.

This is the same little black box I get when I try to download something. Sorry to highjack the post but it was hard to explain in the technical section.

I saved this pine from being turned into firewood, 38 inches at the butt and 50 feet long, some greying and pink spots as the top blew off it two years ago and its been standing dead for two years....I think I'll make wide plank flooring for the cottage with it.  What's the widest plank flooring youve seen?

[timberlinetree]

Nice load! The knots in the pine always look neat.

[BargeMonkey]

Finally getting stuff moved, did the 2 skidders +slasher yesterday in the rain, got her in this afternoon. 

  

 
Always a good day when they show up.  ;D  7140 on the first load.

[timberlinetree]

I always like moving day(except paying for it)! Nice load of logs. When I see a load of logs I think of all the hard work ,the money to be made, and what will become of the log and where they'll end up. Now a days it could end up in China. Does the logs that go to China say USA on them just like all the stuff from China says China? Nice job and work safe!

[chester_tree _farmah]

Nice. A lot of work to make that pile with a small tractor.

[concretecutter]

22 cords of pulp and 10 cords of saw logs it was work but fun

[BargeMonkey]

 

   The guy down the road from me cutting redpine and spruce, 2 forwarders, grapple, loader and new processor, I wouldn't want the payment but man does he cut wood.


 
Friend of mine running his 2040, that is a nice machine. 

 
Took my cab off Tuesday and sent it out for new glass. 20mins it's off, kind of nice. 

 
Found that on my service truck, someone thinks they are cute.  :D

 
Finally got everything moved up in the woods, oak is coming back finally. Got 4 cameras up, way out in nowhere, rocky steep ground, hoping for a Mt-lion picture.  ;D. Only 10 days home, went to quick and too much mud to get alot done.

Nice pile, I've always wondered why it's never become popular out here to cut 8' and stack sideways.
