Yes three would be prefered but for financial start-up I have been told that 2 will get me going. If I need any at all. Some cutters supply trailer and you supply truck. One person that I went to school with and has been hauling logs here for more than 20 years has never owned a log trailer.

are they using the pole trailers like they are here where they break down when empty and you winch the rear tandems up on top of the truck?
-
No offense...
I need ones like the Pitts or Clarks 4 bolster, capable of poles or split 2x2 16'6" pulp.

The ones you are refering to are for Yankees.

I can't post a link to the trailers I am refering to but you can do a search for 1992 Clark in GA at truckpaper -
Up in WI I only saw the trailers you are looking at. I never saw one of these things untill I moved to TX
-
I think they use those in the N-west also. I had never seen them until I searched for log trailers and didn;t specify a state. I'd be hard pressed to pull one of those. Just something about a trailer that folds up. Just don't seem right
I see one on truckpaper that has 8 bolsters and tri-axle super-singles. Made by stairs. Looks too pretty to drop timber on it. LOL -
What kind equipt do you plan on running with?
Kinghunter from Melbourne -
I haven't narrowed it down to a specific unit but I am looking at trucks spec'd with Cummins N14, or Detroit 12.7 Possibly a Cat 3406 but they scare me on the cost of parts, 400+ HP, 3.80-4.11 Rears, 9-18spd tranny and 40k rears. Curious why you ask. Have a truck for me? -
Were you looking at sleepers or day cabs?
Kinghunter -
Day cabs by all means. too much extra wieght on a sleeper. plus backing under a ####ed trailer in the woods is bad enough with a cheater window. l0l
There are guys that do it and I could too but why?
Even with possible future plans to get a lowboy or DD and haul OS regional The ol'lady will be ready to take my logger and then I'll grab a sleeper.
