Yanmar YM2000
I got this load of wood last week. I have put off unloading it till yestwrday. But I had to get it off to use the trailer for the weekend to haul the tractor. The top layers I sawed them off, but for time reasons and to make it easier to not cut my trailer I pulled the lower level off. I will post a picture but I think I have to do it from my desktop as this mobile site is squirrely. Here is a video.

yep it was a load. Lets see if this pic works. 20170627_174608.jpg

Ok I think that worked.

That Harbor Freight Weight distribution hitch got a work out!!! And it is amazing how well it made it handle versus the last time I hauled a big load and I didn't have the hitch on.

Oh yes! Our Yanmars can tug them logs.
A few years ago i was given 8 60 feet power poles from the power comp. They were changing them out in our area,
They set them over the front fence in the front yard. I drug each the the rear of our property 1200 ft. I strapped a set of hand trucks to the end of the poles and towthem like a long trailer.

This year seems were in a normal weather pattern, like I remember growing up. We have had a good many dry years and a few super wet in the last 7 years or so.

I was thinking the same thing just yesterday. Were getting weather like IMO. back in the late 70's when I moved to Ga.. The Sun was out, Scattered to Partly Cloudy, Raining "Yup!"with Thunder and Lightening in the distance . I just convinced myself it's in my best interest to get the yanmar out while it's cool out. It's been doing this every day it seems for a couple Wks..:confused2:

That really is a load! Pretty cool and definitely the way to get it unloaded.

As clemson was saying the weather does seem more like I remember it growing up in the late 80s and early 90s with storms popping up around 3-4 in the afternoon. I sure do like it a lot more than when it was just plum dry all the time.
