The pine market is in the dumps up here.  Mills have 90 days of wood cut and 90 days of logs, with stain immenent and no buyers.     BUT,  with me having 15 or 1600 max delivery on anyone load I haven't been shut off.  Many others have been cut off completley and they raised the upper dia limit to 10 inch.  Thats ok cause the woodmizer doesnt mind the 8 and 9 at all.  Pine pallet is down to 130 bucks per and now only one other category at 250 but for me I never sent much High grade.  It used to be 170 pallet 230  and then 320 for prime so actually I am getting 20 more for most of what I bring.  So, I guess I found a niche even inna down turn.  Did I tell ya I was sitting on 1300 feet of aspen polar worth maybe 130 bucks with a 40 dollar gas delivery but found a cut customer at 56 cents per bd ft. :D

the mills are only buying in small quantities, and he's pretty happy about that.

and of course, he's happy about blue ox.

he is younger than i am now :D but he never worked as hard.  Delivered 640 sg ft of shiplap 8 ft pine just before dark.  Nice how it goes from 50 cents to a buck and a quarter, what with planing, jointing, and shiplapping.

One word...Awesome! I need a bib for the drool. What truck is that? Can't tell from the pic 350 0r 550?

Timbercrk1

Oh wait looked to quick was staring at the trailer looks like a chevy??? If you don't mind how much the trailer run ya?? How much weight can you haul with that combo? Thanks 8)

chevy 3500 4x4, it does a good job but a 4500 or 5500 would be better.  My Lil Ox is a 14000 lb gvw, while the big ox is 20,000.  I wouldnt tow a big ox with a one ton.  The trailer hauls around 1600 bd ft max but I also add some 8 footers to the truck. send me a PM for the cost.
