So there I was with Timmy in Billings, looking at this piece of shit pu-together trailer for a record score of $200. Little did I know that this trailer in question would still be with us after doubling its max capacity and cruising down the interstate and offroading our way out of the national forest. Allow me iterate in pictures.
Driving up the road in the way back we come across this HogMolly just loafing in its extremely dead standing nature. This was the The One.
So a friend has introduced me to my new little tradition. Its not the most productive, but its super fun and way safer then felling a tree with a chainsaw, and gets you in way awsome shape. The Michigan Axe. Swing and flip and keep kicking ass till you cant move your arms anymore. When the beast is ready she'll whisper sweet nothings into your ear and slowly and catastophicly lay down.
Now to the interesting part. That poor excuse for a trailer has superceded chinese technology feats as we know it. RAted at a 1500 lbs, and obviously falling apart when empty, I dont know how we made it back, or why we even tryed. Wait, I know.... last tree we felled and cut got stolen before we could get it all out. And were sending a sign to the heights asking for more brain cells. It definately has not been answered yet. In the meantime I guess its time to cut some fricken wood, as Im sure I have enough to last the winter if the power fails, the rest is for sport, maybe a couple bucks on the side too.
Each log is about 400 lbs totalling the trailer at 2400 lbs. Thats about 1000 over and if look closely the hubs are toast, with custom caps made from Tecate cans duct tape. Not happy. It whined and moaned the whole way home. I reckon its time for a little beefing up the abused little red.... I mean the load was as big as the 4Runner....
Sorry about the lack of posts, but the 9-5er really makes life less interesting. As well were having a little dirtbike extravaganza in AZ soon, so if you wanna join ....

Nice work, muscles! Oh, and cute puppy!
OMG.....how did you lift them on the trailer. O that is how you get the HEM's. i am impressed with the trailor, that is abuse. you shorten its life by at least 5 years. healthy fun that is good. if it wasn;t fun you would call it work.
Wow, that is a lot of work. I don't think I could pull myself up and do that. It sounds like way too much work for me. ~LOL~ Well, have a great time on the trails and I will be in Maui about then. Go me, go me.
