[QUOTE="rockridgecattle, post: 726667, member: 6198"] My father in law cut off an old autobody frame from a old, old car (maybe truck, but i think a car). Just the body frame and wheels and springs were left. Welded on some post holes, one in each corner. Then he cut some pipe to fit into the holes to act like braces. When he first started hauling wood, he could pile 4' lengths, piled 4' high and 8+' long. Now hubby goes to the bush and loads tree length with the loader tractor, hauls it home and then cuts and piles at home. The hitch is an old wood beam (i think an old ajax stack mover beam, or a well seasoned tamarac tree) with metal on one end to attach to the front wheels and a hitch (made from metal, bolted on) on the other end. This set up also has an alternate use. We use it as a hay wagon, holds three HN850 bales. We have some old stack mover beams that got replaced. We pull out the pipes, lay the beams on and pile row the three bales, + 1 on the loader. This is how we move the hay from the hay yard to the cows so we do not have to make 4 trips back and forth from the the hay yard to the winter feeding area. Cost to us was nil since we have an ecletic junk yard full of "stuff". Just the hydro for welding and cutting. Sorry no pic. And the wagon is at the neighbors with a load of wood on it for them. Tree length, we can haul 2 - 3 cords at a time, depending on the weight of the trees (green or seasoned). [/QUOTE]
