lrazer linked me to this and said the post with logs reminded him of me.

Here is my Half ton with about 15k of logs on it. My boss said I was nuts and thought originally , that it was 8k as I described it. Once he saw the pictures he was like dude you are nuts. Fresh logs , and the jack was 1/2" off the ground. Towed it around 50 miles. I was so surprised I didn't wind up behind bars... My steering was so light it was ridiculous. I had the trailer brakes cranked all the way and they still didn't do squat without the truck brakes... My truck gave up being a virgin when I began to drive it. F350 PowerStroke is in my Future

I got to learn how to add the pics like yall do, oh well here is the best I can do.

At my old house I had some real great neighbors, here is some pics of the day they moved away. This was a Sunday and they towed the trailer about 8 miles down the highway to another lot. Notice it is on the bumper and not a receiver hitch and it was a 2” 3,500# ball, that bumper was straight when they started. I think this was a 14x50 standard house trailer.
