MY Business Plan Financial Est. Opinions PLS

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.

 

No those are Yankee trailers. 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 need the ones that are 4 bolster capable of poles or a 2x2 split 16'6" pulp.

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

 

Yeh I was jerkin Yer chain. 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

 

Welcome to the post KingHunter
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?

 

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.
