Bring it on over for the Sycamore project. That way you will have a reason to rebuild the power train too. :laugh:
Two LT70s, Nyle L200 kiln, 4 head Pinheiro planer, 30" double surface Cantek planer, Lucas dedicated slabber, Slabmizer, and enough rolling stock and chainsaws to keep it all running.

That's loading them the easy way, Dodgy. And only lost a hubcap.  :D :D

Now if Magicman can pick the front of the truck up and dump er back out, you'll be all set.

Back 1980 or 81 two not so smart crooks tried to steel a 40 ton coil rolled off the end of a flat bed into a half ton pickup was a picture in the L A Calf news paper that pickup did not look good at all

Hey, at least that guy kept his back glass.

At first I though it way going to squish the cab as well.  Now, that would have been really funny! :o

Never ever ever try that with a dodge.   Or anything made past about 1986 or so

I darn near died laughing watching that! I have gotten logs out of my truck by backing up really fast and slamming on the brakes but I never loaded one like that guy did!

What's the big deal? Doesn't everyone load logs that way? Well, gotta go. Going to look at pickups again. ;D ;D

I think I know why Dodgy was so interested in that video.  In his formative years he had a habit of leaving my tractor parked a little too close when he was felling trees.   :o  As I recall, I replaced two steering wheels and two fenders on my old Ford 4000, before he finally left home.   ;D

Maybe he left home, but he still has not learned how to stay out of trouble.   ;D

This reminds me of the time a customer drove a 5000# forklift on to a flatbed F-350.  We warned him not to do it.
