He did say he got it on sale. Still bulk might be cheaper? depends on how much of a sale he got it for.

Thats a heck of a load you have also but its loaded more evenly. Makes all the difference in the world.
As for stumps I am estimating my weight off the logging we do. We cut 24" to 36" rounds all the time in 8' lengths and I know what they weigh. Mainly ash and walnut and they run each.

Depends where you are working. If you have to take it all though a gate bagged material is much easier.
2 weeks ago we bought 5 pallets of colored mulch. 2cu ft per bag at $1.69 per bag. 14 bags per yard. $23.66 per yard. The cheapest I could get bulk was $31 per yard. I needed 16 yards. It was very quick to put down with my forks and 3 helpers. Just pick up the pallet up and haul it to where needed. Throw of some bags and on to the next spot. Let the helpers spread it.

If you have a dump trailer, you can buy in bulk.
If you have a flat bed only, you buy in pallets.
If you have a baby tractor to run around in a yard without tearing it up, you can distribute bulk materials.
If you use a wheelbarrow to move materials, you can use sacks to reduce handling time.
I find that I use what I have to get a job done.

Wanna start a war?
Does this load make Kajun a CDL candidate?For sure must require DOT numbers at least, I think :confused2:
Duff will know.
18K trailer plus 8+K truck = 26K +, obvious commercial use.
I'm not saying I know the answer, just raising the question.

Anyone else see what I'm (possibly) seeing? Does the stump photo look cropped? With no description? And, are trees that big in WV? Those stumps look MIGHTY big. Having said that, I've pulled out some big stumps with my excavator in Ohio, and almost tipped the hoe over when I went full extended with a big stump and my thumb on. BUT, that's fresh outta the ground, with all the dirt on......not much dirt on them stumps. Makes a big difference.
Despite that, I'd have to say the stumps are less (or maybe close to equal) than all the bagged material. Lotta density there....
I'm tempted to show my gooseneck load, but will stay outta this one.....

LOL, I did almost the exact same thing; even measured to make sure I was only 13' tall with a shed on my trailer but caught a freaking phone line that must have only been 11' off the street!
Shhh, since it was hanging too low I didn't notice it when I ripped it down. Had to replace 2 pieces on the shed and that made me mad enough! I notice that that line is now at proper height. Someone must have called and complained...
