1993 raglan frameless dump. Too bad they are outlawed almost everywhere because these are my favorite gravel haulers. With a nice paintjob she almost looks new again

Quad axle log trailer. Common on Canada's west coast. Hooked up to a tri-drive with a heavy steer axle you can legally gross 63,500kg (just a hair shy of 140,000lbs). Now add in the fact you'll be coming down the side of mountains with this in summer, winter, mud, ice etc makes for some fun times. I've never pulled one but my uncle has for the last decade or so and he says it can get pretty hairy at times. Oh and when you're empty, the trailer gets loaded up onto the truck. The rear set of tandems just hangs out over nothing, meaning you have a good 10 feet of tailswing when empty.

Found this on Google. What a setup. They run these up in northern Alberta. I think they're called a King B. If I give up wrenches for driving, it would be to do this.

When I was 12 or so, I had a log roll off a 2 ton truck with short stakes, I was unhooking the chain at the sawmill and it rolled down my back, threw me in the mud and bruised my back. Rode an Ambulance to the clinic and had to crawl everywhere for the next 2 weeks. I still hate log trucks -
Six axle beam trailer with a 3 axle jeep that you steer from the cab with a wireless remote.

They have a special station set up at most mills now that you drive up to and remove the wrappers. It's like a gantry with hydraulic arms that you fold out against the load, so logs can't fall off on you. As a kid riding with dad, my job was to fold the stakes up at the landing, stamp the load and pound the flag or light into the longest tree at the back. Then at the mill I would pull the flag and fold down the stakes back down.tucker Thanks this. -
