More like DOH................. :spit_take

[rifleman wi]

Built Chevy Tough...? :rofl:

[maxama10]

Hehe :p

To be fair, I don't think any half-ton would have taken that abuse.

[behemoth]

I think i just had an aneurysm.

AT WHAT POINT IS A 1/2 TON TRUCK GOING TO TAKE A LOG THE SIZE OF THE DAMN TRUCK?

Someone missed the lecture on 'density' in school, obviously.

[Lohman446]

Looks like the frame is bent / broken now too. See the change in angles right behind the cab :)... and its a weak point when overloading these things that extremely.

/Drive a Chevy 1500, not a knock.

Probably could have gotten away with it if you had put the weight back behind the axles (or better yet directly over the axles) of the trailer.

Definitely, i cant see a bedbox tweaking down like that if the frames not moving too... Unless they attached the hitch to the bedbox somehow :tard:

I'd like to know what that log weighed..

[Big'n slo]

12,740lbs

I've been watching AXE Men AND stayed at a Holiday inn express last night

Oak = 55 pounds per cubic foot dried

Figure 10' x 5'dia = 196c.f. x 65lb/c.f.

:rofl: :hail:

Nice.

[Hilltop Customs]

why would they load it so far forward :tard:

at least it didnt make it on the road and have a tire failure/have a chance to hurt someone.


they did more than overload the truck.....they bottomed out the suspension and tried to lift the front of the truck by putting weight on the rear bumper. Lever arms > any frame

[Dend78]

why would they load it so far forward :tard:

they were hoping to have room enough for the other log :spit_take

[Lohman446]

Good thing they set it down slowly with the forks to make sure it wasn't overloaded rather than just rolling it on huh?

/Oh... oops

That would have only made sense. That is why it was not done.

[teufelhunden]

so, even if this guy got his huge log home, how was he getting it off his trailer?

Start cutting, or same way they got it on.......

[Will Wood]

No "Thats some big wood?" yet?
:ninja:

[pbzmag]

Imagine the size of the bon fire after splitting that thing up!

[skife]

wow, i'm a member of that forum, i havn't been online in a few days, cool.

you have a chainsaw that's at least as long as the radius of that tree? or a massive forklift (which is how they got it in)?

You dont have to have a saw as big as the tree to cut it up.... i have a 385xp with 20in bar and full skip chain it would be able to cut that up.... and thats just a front end loader loader(or payloader) with forks on it.......

Did this happen near NJ? I think I know the guy in the construction hat ...

How 'bout them tires though?

[Lohman446]

I was actually surprised at how well the tires on the truck were doing - then again I would guess most of the weight is being supported by the hitch at the moment the pictures show. 265 75 16 load range E tires should be good for in the neighborhood of 3500lbs max load each. Maybe they had good tires :P

i think battlecreek, Mi

those are definatally michigan plates on the trailer. and greatlakes4x4.com is a michigan/greatlakes based site
