A shipping container is going to be your cheapest option, with the possible exception of a prefab shed. Depends what you mean by that. The sheds are most certainly not all created equal, but in every case that I have seen, there is a very good reason that they're as cheap as they are. Some are...
I'm confused about the permit you reference. I've never heard of that being a thing and I didn't find anything online about Texas having an off road diesel permit. Anybody from Texas know what he means?
I'd leave it alone, but I tend to be very "utilitarian" in my tastes on such things. It's going to be nearly impossible to get a rattle can job to match paint like that long term.
This is a skidder, It will do things that no tractor could ever dream of. But it would really suck to try to use one to till your garden. I'm guessing that you're not talking about a skidder though. There is no perfect tool that will do all jobs equally well. Some are capable of doing many...
Yeah, it's user updated, so certainly worth verifying before driving far to a station. The phone number for each station is listed though, so it's easy to do.
It's certainly more than E10 or E15, but I've never seen it be more expensive than the canned stuff. None of these are near you? https://www.pure-gas.org/maps/MI
Find the balance point and weld on a D ring, Easier to set implements onto a trailer with fenders, pickup bed or to set them perpendicular to the trailer that way.
It can last a lot longer than that. I've used diesel that was at least 3 years old. 6-8 months isn't an issue. If you're worried, use a couple gallons at a time mixed with fresh fuel.
I assume, by "14k axles" you mean tandem 7k axles. They don't make 14,000 lb. axles that will work under a trailer that small. But yes, it's very easy to overload a dump trailer with rock. Even the highest quality manufacturers don't necessarily make them to be loaded to the gills with rock. If...
Any dump trailer can easily be overloaded. I've never seen a 6x12 dump trailer that is rated to haul 12,000 lbs. But, you have a good point. The OP bought a trailer from a company that specifically advertises that it's products are cheap. "Affordable" and "inexpensive" is all over the place on...
Too expensive and complicated for what it's worth. If someone is green enough to need something like that, they should be limiting themselves to small loads in general or seek hands on instruction from someone with more experience.
It would help if we knew species and roughly the max size of the rounds you'll be dealing with. Also, do you intend to start selling wood or heating with it? If not, a splitter (either bought or rented) isn't worth it from a financial perspective.
