Measured Firewood Trailers Hold 2 Cords Of Wood
 ✖  |
Several years ago FARM SHOW featured my “measured” firewood trailers that hold 2 cords of wood in 4 half-cord size compartments (Vol. 34, No. 5). I thought you might be interested in my new larger covered trailers that each hold 3 cords of wood weighing about 12,000 lbs. I built 3 of the trailers using 20-ft. long Ford truck frames and wheeled axles from old manure spreaders. I welded 10-in. extensions onto the frames to make them 4 ft. wide and used 2 by 3-in. sq. tubing and angle iron to build up the sides, making roof trusses out of 1 1/2-in. angle iron fitted with 2 by 4’s to hold the tin roof. Wood planks were used for the floor. (Bill Kelsey, 5 Weber Road, Sharon, Conn. 06069)
