    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    Its a Southco box with a big beam across the top of the back. Its probably too much work to modify it. I'm going to remeasure. I was using a 3' tape measure, and need to double-check my addition. Thanks, Brendon.

    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    Jon, what is your deck height on the 550? Are you referring to the 7k ramps coming from Discountramps.com? I would like to start with just ramps, if I can work it. It is the simplest, with least outlay, leaving me more to build into a dump trailer. I am considering a dump trailer with a...

    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    I definitely will have a dump trailer, but don't want to buy one too small, and not have the money up front. My intial thought is that if I"m hauling firewood, lay a log down, cut it in the trailer, leave on the side of the round, and roll off. the sides/ rear. I would much prefer pulling a...

    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    yes you are. Do it. can you start with extending the planks a hair, and running a 1/2 bolt down through the plank into a hole in the deck. I've loaded my grinder into my pick-up on plywood atop planks this way with some big spike nails between the bumper and the body. Enough to keep it from...

    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    So I gathered 5 lugs go on 1/2 ton pickups, and 6 were 3/4 ton. This trailer is part of a rental fleet at a local rental outfit. Says tires are 50 percent, and 6 lug trailer axles means 5000 pounds. I'm going to pick up a Steamboat Burger, yum, bacon cheeseburger with veggies, ham and a friend...

    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    Solid Southco forestry box, Bud. Surge brake might bring the price down, I'm thinking. Fresh paint makes an old machine look good. What are the big things to check, besides being obviously bent and not pulling straight? My guess is 4 new tires, too old even if not too worn. My guess is also...

    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    What do you all think about a surge brake instead of electric? A used trailer that is suitable (provided the tires are good), with ramps for $1200 asking. http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/for/4438326700.html Weld on stake pockets for removable sides, and its a wood hauler. I wonder if it is...

    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    boxer 532 is 54" tall. My box is 56-57" tall (ridges in floor). Seems like a heck of a squeeze, but possible. I know that the handle height doesn't include a hand on top. Is it such that you want your hands on top to operate the tracks with the two taller levers, or can you hold the vertical...

    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    Thanks, Scott. I think that I have two inches to spare, so the operator would be ducking at the end of the loading, beginning of the unloading (that operator will be me).

    Ramps and loading tracked mini-skid in chip box

    I am hoping that it can work to transport a mini in the box of my chip truck. I know at least Brendon has loaded onto the deck of his truck, about the same height, but I think its a wheeled machine, making the transition from angled ramp to horizontal bed, easy enough. My thought is that pin...
