weak? if so it needs tuning. they run and pull till they pop. if not tuned right they a dog.
you have some nice timber there.
I had a IH set up just like that, it would take 60,000 gross on up the road 70 mph if ya wanted to.

You do have some beautiful timber to work with.  It is very evident that the DOT inspectors are much less troublesome in your area than they are here.   That load would get your truck towed around here.  Wish they would loosen up here as fuel prices are making it nearly impossible to turn a profit with a log truck when hauling legal loads.

Here, once in a while you'll see a couple of cords of wood sitting in the ditch. The DOT will pull you over, if you are grossly overloaded they make you throw the extra wood off, give you a brutal fine, and send you on your way.

Just thought of this. Around here a lot of the white oak goes to KY for whiskey barrels to age in. Who knows. In a few years you could be enjoying a sip of bourbon that was aged in Brichwoods white oak.

Thats the truck you need to buy. Thats the guy who hauls my pulp for me. Legal for 35 tons. Loaded in the rain and snow showers today.

That truck is nice how much would that set up cost $200k it might be a little hard to get in tight spots though

[BargeMonkey]

 Actually he gets into some tight nasty spots with that truck. He said it was 225k for a new truck like that, thats loader and pitts pup trailer.

Is that a serco loader?

[BargeMonkey]

Is that a serco loader?

I believe thats a hood 7000. It looks smooth, he loads and goes pretty quick. That truck came out of "loggers equipment" or now called General truck in Glens falls.

[Maine logger88]

Yeh those are a good loader if I was going to buy a new truck mount it would either be one of those or a serco 8500
