Sumthin ain't right

[John *.?-!.* cub owner]

Helping Scrivet haul the stuff he bought at auction, and as we headed out last week with one set of loads. Here is my Ranger pulling a trailer made from a truk frame with dual wheels. Most of that lumber is 12 to 16 feet long seasoned oak.


And here is the load Scrivet was pulling the 1 ton service truck.


Sumthin just ain't right about these loads.

John:

I like the elevator but would love to have that oak in my cabinet shop ... looks like you have the more valuable load. All depends on your point of view

Sumthin must be up

At first I thought that was a photoshop, then again I saw John one time pulling two tractors on one trailer with a Ranger…so no photoshop in this picture.
Everybody with their Ford trucks on here is starting to make me jealous !

At first I thought that was a photoshop,.......!

I only had to go a mile, but by the feel it was no more than 4,000 pounds at most, and the Ranger is rated for 5,700 pound trailer. the nose of the trailer was a little heavy, but for that short a tip it was not a problem. I guaranty, I would not take off on a longer highway trip with a setup like that. at least not without electric brakes on the trailer.

I don't see nothing wrong with those loads.

...... I guaranty, I would not take off on a longer highway trip with a setup like that. at least not without electric brakes on the trailer.

Or with those tires that are the same ones that were on that trailer 35 years ago and were iffy then. But you do have a spare and it's not difficult to remove at all . (When we were unhooking I was looking at the spare on the tounge and the thought hit me "Just how is this attached, I don't see any bolts or anything" Turns out GRAVITY it was just laying there.

Most of that lumber is 12 to 16 feet long seasoned oak.

You know for a guy that carries around a tape measure....................That's a 13' x 7' bed...........Since you didn't measure it I guess that's why you need to carry the tape.

..... Scrivet you aint plannin on tryin to feed bales up it n bury me like ol times ????

Naw, didn't get a motor with it, and besides mostly big round bales around now. You'd need something the size of a cub power unit to get one of those to go up. Or with a power unit if we found some small squares we could take the elevator to the field and launch them at the barn


Elevator completely hand built by your cousin, mainly bolted together with very few welds, and used by you and your brother $40
Hay trailer used with the elevator $50
Pile of seasoned lumber mainly seasoned oak inch boards $80
Debt owed to John *.?-!.* cub owner spending several days, multiple trips helping load and unload, including digging out a ground hog infested 100 plus year old 12 x 15 blacksmith shop in a thunderstorm after dark PRICELESS(to John because he's NEVER going to let me forget it!)

Truthfully I hadn't thought much about it until Barb mentioned it. You can thank your cousin for that idea.
