The neighbor has more confidence in my trailer than I do.

Not for the correct police. Only hauled it 2 miles on a county dirt road from one of the neighbors, never went over 20mph. Was loaded with a 7810 JD, wet cottonwood.
Was pretty pleased with the truck and trailer performance but wouldn't have loaded it this way myself. Just dropped the trailer off and went back later. I think they had some fun with it.

That is one tough trailer. I'm surprised they didn't bend the frame loading it. I sure wouldn't loan it to that guy again.
 
I go along with the other gentlemen and thats why I don't loan equpiment or trailers. Its not theirs and they don't care if they damage it they don't have to repair it.
 
Cottonwood isn't the best firewood by any means but it is about all that's around here. I sell about 20 cord a year. No real reason for chains none of the logs can move, they were loaded very tight and balanced, wedged in on each other. Dirt road, straight and flat, not quite 2 miles, see about 10 cars a day on the road.
Things are just different here than where most of you guys live back east. Good neighbor, he loaded, I hauled.
Just thought you'd enjoy seeing a big load.
 
I have burned cottonwood and it doesn't stink if you get it dried out and keep it dry. When its green or if let get wet it stinks. Its not the best fire wood.

Mmmmmmmmmkay. All the same, I don't believe I'd follow that load too closely.
 
Pipeline Construction company here moved a trackloader about 1 mile down a back road to bypass a gulley no chains on the loader State Trooper just happened to come down the road cost them around
$5000.
 
I don't see any gap between the trailer frame and the trailer springs. I hope they didn't pull your trailer with the springs bottoming out.

That would be the last time I loaned anything to those folks.
