re: Those who are concerned about half ton payload

Story time.
Renting a house. Rental owner decided to upgrade to tile while we lived there. Dude asked me to deliver the tile to the rental since I had a truck. He was too cheap to pay the Home Depot delivery fee.
I still have no idea how much a pallet of tile weighs, but I know my truck was well over the payload as it squatted almost 6 inches. Thankfully I only had to drive 3 miles, but if I hit a decent bump my tires would rub the inner fenders.

Another good way to break a back window is to put a 4wheeler with a winch and front rack in the truck bed.
Even worse, 17 year old me put a 4 wheeler with no winch or front rack in the truck bed and hit the wheel well on the way up and shattered the back glass. I did not want to go home and have my dad find out
I swear there was still glass in the back of that thing when we sold it 7-8 years later.

I've known of a couple guys who've almost been killed loading an atv in a truck bed. I had my fair share of close calls over the years. Now that I'm older I trailer them.
I don't ride them up the ramp. I walk beside the ramp holding the throttle. Just slow constant pressure until you get the tires level. Probably not the best way either but I never trust the ramps.

One of my houses had a pretty drastic slope right at the street and no sidewalk. I could almost get the open tail gate flush with the grass. Easiest loading I have ever had to deal with.

Dream location.
4wheeler died one time and I couldn't get it to crank. Pushed it over to the pond and then backed my truck up to the backside of the levee. Very easy loading.

I'm intrigued too. If the part came in a day early, then he wouldn't need to buy 3/4 cord of wood?
Is OP an eskimo?
Not married I take it?
Have had the wood blocked for six months. Go to split it, damned coil failed after 40 years.
Figured eith timeline and work schedule... It would hit 59 degrees before I had a chnace to fix it and split. Meaning no firewood when the wife wanted a fire.
Rather than listen to that, bought a cord from the local guy up the road.
200 well spent.

still not buying it. something dont add up
You just picked up 1/2 cord. Surely that will last until the part arrives?

He sells a cord. Not a half.
The other half a half will finish filling the house wood rack. He can keep the rest for all I care.
Good. I aint selling.
The guy who is selling sells a cord for 200.
Don't know if you checked pricing on firewood lately little baw, but I ain't arguing at that price.

75% red oak. Some ash, the rest hackberry.
Idk what this guy is doing. But there are a few pieces of ash I might make into some handles for old tools.

Hope you're evening is going well slaso, God bless.

Split and stacked thats a helluva price. Splitting a cord of wood is a lot of damned hard work.

We had a party at our house over 19 years ago and two of my "friends" got in a pretty good fist fight and busted the top glass on a PinBot Pinball machine that I had just finished converting to digital from analog. This is a piece of tempered glass 3/16" thick and about 30"X42"...typical pinball machine top glass. That thing EXPLODED like a bomb went off in the body of the machine. about 1/8th square pieces of tempered glass everywhere. Since then we have moved overseas or across the US 7 times and when we unpacked the last time, 5 years ago, some of the moving boxes still had pieces of that damned pinball machine glass in them. We still find a piece of that glass on the floor once in a while. If I did not know better I'd swear that piece of glass was about 2000 square feet instead of 9.....

Having a rick of seasoned red oak delivered tomorrow for $125. Not a bad price for the Ellic area
Posted on 10/30/25 at 10:42 am to X123F45
I did this with a 2007 F150 once. Didn’t realize how loaded it was until we got done loading it. But by that time we decided to just go with it. It was my first experience in a Carolina squat.

Jesus christ.
And I thought my guy was a good price. Around BR is 300 plus now for a face cord.
