He Uses Old Pallets To Make Wood Racks To Haul Firewood
I use old pallets to make wood racks to haul firewood. Each rack measure 5 ft. square and is made from three pallets. They stand about 1 ft. above ground so I can slip a pair of bale prongs under them using my IH 560 tractor. Some of the boards on the bottom pallet extend about 1 ft. out, allowing me to brace the sides. Sometimes I run another board across the top to keep the pallets from twisting on rough ground. I stack firewood behind my shed and use the loader to transport the loaded pallets to my house, where I set the pallet down and toss the wood piece by piece into our basement.
I've used this idea for 10 years and it works great. Each pallet holds about 1,000 lbs. of wood. When the pallets get old I rebuild them or put new sides on. (Ken Litterer, 27744 35th St., Maquoketa, Iowa 52060 ph 563 652-2093)
