Your trailer reminds me of my old '73 Mack. I put a 13' dump bed on it, that's what fit without stretching the frame. Then built up about 4' more of wood sides. It carried over 4 cords. Your trailer brushing that tree limb reminded me of a nightime delivery in the big city. Guy had an empty lot next to his house. He was on the ground, guiding me. Dumped the load pulling forward. Seemed like 50 yds. Suddenly fire and sparks! He had led me right into an overhead extension cord for his garden shed. Backed under it fine, couldn't see it in the dark, caught it with the bed up. He wanted me to pay big bucks to fix it. Well, we had a difference of opinion. He later had a lawyer call me to threaten lawsuit. From things they both said,, I got the feeling that the order, the time, and the guiding me in were all part of a setup to intimidate and overwhelm the dumb ol' boy from the country. When the lawyer found I had had a buddy with me, he hung up the phone. Never heard from them again. So, if you ever need lessons on diplomacy, my buddy is the man! - Your charging wire in the middle of your 7 wire plug ought to keep your dumper battery fully charged without further help.

The n/n trailer is the best one we have ever owned . 7 by 14 with the 2 ft mesh sides all galvanized like yours . No rust an no issues it’s a 2 cord wood hauling machine . Hydraulic Jack will be added in the spring .
I was going to buy an N&N. It was only about 1k more than my Lamar. Closets dealer was Thumb and I didn’t want to be twelve Hours away from my dealer! Great trailers. See ya tomorrow 👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Very nice trailer. And a great state to go get it at. The thumb is surrounded by greatwalleye waters to fish. Sorry Chris had to tell of the fishing here. The small pieces that you split have to be much easier to laid too.
Had the same thought on the fishing in Saginaw Bay Area. West side of the hand is where I am at. I live in the famous city know for Tulip Time. Best week ever to take a vacation. 😅
Thanks to your videos, I bought a 6’10” x 12 version from Thumb as well. We drove it back to Alaska via Eastonmade and it’s been absolutely flawless this winter. I’m surprised I haven’t seen another galvanized dump here. It’s awesome!
A local trailer dealer in my area started selling galvanized trailers this past summer and they didnt stick around very long. My trailer doesn't see salt so thats it's saving grace, it's a Big Tex 7x16 and still looks new after 2 or 3 years now. One of the best things to do for a painted trailer is spray everything down when new with either Fluid Film or Krown undercoating one e a year, I prefer Krown and it might look dirty but won't rust! And if your using it during the winter take it to a car wash once in a while.
Love your video. Because of you just bought a used galvanized 6 x 10. Just for all the hauling I do for family. Live in northeast PA so lots of salt. Going to make some modifications and put it to work. Been watching you for years, keep it up sir! Do have a couple years on you. Feel like been cutting wood forever. But enjoy it and it keeps me in shape. Stay strong Earl
I have a 6x12 galvanized trailer and have a 2x12 and a 2x8 for rails and when we throw the wood in level with the top of the boards all the way to the back, we get a full cord on it. My buddy has galvanized mesh sides that go up about three feet on his trailer which is great for hauling brush. We have marks on the side for a cord and also a cord and a half, which maxes out for weight with hardwood. You could probably put two cords of pine in it, which is fine! GNI.
My IronBull also has that relieve valve, mine has gone up $500 or so since i bought it 2 yrs ago, 7x14x2 3 way tailgate, 14k(tandom 7k axles), 5k empty, 1.5 cords thrown in 2.3 cords stacked
The Hard Maple is sure some nice uniform splits and will stack up easy and nice! The telescopic lifts like on your trailer go up higher or a steeper angle then the other types of scissor lifts on the market!
Nice Shoe I Keep My Fire wood In Totes If My Garage Gets empty i grab a tote and restock my garage Have 5 Back up Totes For Back Up So Far since The Buring Season It Cost Me $35.00 a Month to Heat My Home Not a Bad Deal and if The Grid Goes Down Well Check Out Hank Willams Jr { A Country Boy Can Survie } Youll Get What I Mean Happy Holidays 10_4
Yeah nice trailer, we see plenty of those up here in Canada eh! They're all over the place. I have a Millroad Manufacturing DUMP trailer with high, high walls since I haul entire tree's in it. N&N's are great, so are Millroad's, BeWise are good too. Trailer fun eh lol.
Hey Chris awesome video, something to think about is a trap spring assist kit. I just recently up graded for the same trailer you have to a brand new 2024 7x14 N&N dump trailer
I keep hearing the best bowlers in the world are from the Appleton Wisconsen area, to bad everyone's wrong, its just your seasoned wood piles falling that are making those strike sounds
Cinda looked like your down a right hand turn signal, on trailer. As id gess your 4 ways where on in the drive way. . Otherwise carry-on feeding cats..
@@InTheWoodyard I think they were referring to when You drove off with the Trailer and and you forgot to edit out the time it took You to get back to the Camera... AHAHAHAHA
Nice video Chris. Not many dump trailer owners use their trailer on a pretty much daily basis like you do. Not much not to like about the N&N except extra cost and that isn't terrible cost in today's world. Really too bad that they don't make the small single axle model you have said you would also like. GNI
@@InTheWoodyard Sounds like it would make a good sponsorship for N&N, You do great videos and they produce great trailers sounds like a win win for both of you. By the sounds of others purchasing from Thumb Trailers your marketing skills already have a proven track record incase N&N or Thumb Trailers is listening.😉
Mark seems to be a great guy and customer to boot, I almost cringed waiting for this dump to crinkle the siding on the garage as it tumbled out but you averted damage. Have you been giving any more consideration to a new trailer and its size smaller, bigger or another of the same size is it the same as firewood more is better?🤔 I am sure you will get whatever size trailer best fits YOUR intended purpose.
Good morning Woodhounds! Chris, was just thinking, which is very dangerous for me by the way, watching you do a series on your trailer have you ever thought about doing some behind the scenes stuff showing how you have to set up for each video? People would be amazed at how much time you spend just trying to get the right shot and setting up for it. People also would be amazed how much time you give up just to make the quality videos we watch! I hope you were not freezing to death in Wisconsin, we had a low of 19 here in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Southwest Virginia this morning. See you buddy!
Yup, video adds about 20-30% more time to everything I do just to record it then the editing and comments add another 2-3 hours for every hour of filming so...4-6 hours EVERY day now for 3 1/2 years!
U been talking bout getting a new truck I hear the dealers are chock full of 2023 models and just dying to unload them u should be in the prime to get what ever u want by end of the yr
G’morning Chris ! The trailer is awesome. Provides nice dumps. Another question : have you ever busted a back window? Pretty easy for carnage. GoodNightIrene
Ok now what do you get if you stack to the top of the metal sides and what you get if you stack even with tailgate or top of first side board. Seeing you get 5 face cords to top of top side board i wonder if you heap the top of that stacked or loose if you can pull off a face cord for 2 full coards ???
Chris, I’m curious of gross trailer weight when you have trailer loaded with 4 face cords and what tongue weight is with that same load if you’ve ever weighed such a thing? Thanks
No, but there are charts on line for type wood weight by the cord and I have looked them up before and know that fresh cut green wood stacked high in the trailer will just about max it out.
I have had it sprayed with mist, liquid road salt and calcium chloride on the treated roads here for 2 years, no rust at all. I know a guy who has one that is 10 years old and his has zero rust to so...
21°F and Frosty here in Ashville Ohio this morning folks.... High of 45° the weather Guessers say... cold north wind.... Rain and snow comin Saturday.... Time to get it done if it needs doing!! GNI
Well you tube erased me again,I think I said something bout with no music you can really tell how windy it stays at burt's.lol I forgot the rest...but thanks for my video.lol
Not to disagree but your trailer has not gone up in value, it's our money that is worth less so it takes more to purchase goods and services. It's the great scheme of central banks, which are privately owned, across the world.
Only thing better than Galvanized it Aluminum. Bigger is better Greedy boards = more Benjamins Phil @allenfamilyfirewood bought one because he saw you with one Stabilizers save bending axles Led lighting is near problem feee Thumb trailers is too far from us Where is the hydraulic Jack?

There is a dealer in Wisconsin now and another in Iowa I think??
I love a good dump. A good dump is when all the cargo slids out and the dumper doesn't tip over.
Yup!
That’s one sweet trailer you got there old best friend! I’m sure you get a lot of looks when you’re going down the road😂TCT
Thanks, they are looking at me though!!! Ha!!!
Literally the only trailer I would consider buying when living North. Our rust-belt is real, man... that full galvanisation is key.
Yup, worth the little extra to have it last 10X moere than 4 -5 years that the other ones last!
Good morning Chris great video once again and no snow sitting around nice and great trailer to boot.
Yup, thanks Gerry!
Very nice trailer. And a great state to go get it at. The thumb is surrounded by greatwalleye waters to fish. Sorry Chris had to tell of the fishing here.

Galvanized is definitely the way to go.
Yup!
Great trailer funny description of how the wood comes out of trailer
Thanks!
Good morning all!
Hello!

Your customer sure looks like he's very happy doing business with you. There is a talent to making and keeping customers like you do 😊😊😊
Very true, customer relationship is equal to or more important than the product.
Good video Chris always informative stay well little snow flurries in Massachusetts melted already
Thanks 👍

Yes but a better paint job and they should last WAYYYYY longer than the do.
I can't imagine being in the Firewood business without a dump trailer...but at one time it was truckbed only.
Yup, a dump trailer is a real game changer!
i think the least they could do is send you TWO 4 x8 dump trailers for free after that glowing review !!
Ha! We will see!
Definitely a nice dump trailer. I finally got one this year. They keep going up so finally pulled the trigger. Lots of wood. Keep up the good work.
That is awesome!

Definitely an awesome trailer Chris! Hope to get one someday! Nice job on the delivery! 🔥💯👍. Andrew from NB :)
You should!

Yup, Mark is a good guy!
Made in Canada 🇨🇦 love it!😊
Yup, they do good work!
That guy has a nice wood setup
YUP!!
I liked your thumb where in Michigan reference. You are really thumb thing !!!!!😂
Ha!!! Good one!
Between both trailers, you have had it's neat to see how hauling wood has evolved..😁👍
Yes, thanks my good man!

The Hard Maple is sure some nice uniform splits and will stack up easy and nice!
The telescopic lifts like on your trailer go up higher or a steeper angle then the other types of scissor lifts on the market!
Yup, there is a reason almost all dump tucks have telescoping lifts!
Good morning Chris have a good day love video (ty Ron
Thanks, you too!
Good morning!!!
Hello!
More is always the right amount!!
Except for fat!
Your video could have even been shot today in Superior WI. 45 and no snow or even ice rinks yet.
Yup, it is awesome!!
Good morning
Thanks!!!
I’d say you cats were a little hungry.
Nice trailer. I see a few of those same trailers in my area. 👍🏻
Yup, they are professional eaters!
Good job pronouncing the French word “Remorque”. And yes, it means trailer in French. You’re awesome Chris!!!! Keep up the good work.
Thanks! Will do!
You're gonna cause World War 31 of these days opening that cat food LO. L cute❤
Yup, they go nuts for the canned stuff!
Cute Woodcats
Yup!
Chris you and mark know what to do and say about wood
Thanks!

Thanks, I will check it out!
👍👍👍
Thanks!!!
Wax the bed of that dump, will make it slippery and wood should come out easier.
It is very slippery now, the more I use it the better it gets.
Sweet trailer Chris!👍👍
Thanks!!
Happy Thursday, all!
Thanks!
PS Their is Noting Better Than The Heat Of Wood My Old Bones Readily Like It 10-4
Yup, wood heat is awesome!
LOL 15 minutes of daylight daily....LOL
Maybe not 15 but it seems short, 21 minutes?
I keep hearing the best bowlers in the world are from the Appleton Wisconsen area, to bad everyone's wrong, its just your seasoned wood piles falling that are making those strike sounds
Yup, it is the wood, the sound is heard around the world! Ha!

As id gess your 4 ways where on in the drive way.
.
Otherwise carry-on feeding cats..
Yup!!
DST doesn't change the number of daylight hours.
Yes, I know, just like to complain about short days.

Hey don't leave us....we want to go too.

3 degrees this am. I'm thinking when I get my n and n 7 x 14 with the chain link upper sides
Yup, you can't loose with it, they keep/gain there value!!
Use the loader bucket be easier on you 😊
Have you ever tried to scoop up firewood off of pallets with a bucket? I am looking at a rock bucket or a root grapple for it.

Yup, prices are coming down now!
Great video Chris. Hope your tooth feels better.
Just one question. Is the trailer galvanized?
Thanks, yes I can chew again now! I will check on the galvanized thing...I am not sure! Ha!!
👍🏻👏
Thanks!
G’morning Chris ! The trailer is awesome. Provides nice dumps. Another question : have you ever busted a back window? Pretty easy for carnage.
GoodNightIrene
Sometimes, in my nightmares I do but in real life I am unable to throw the wood hard enough to break it but I will keep trying!
C’mon,,,, you con do iiiiit
Chris way to go gav steel for trailer, I got BMR power coat steel it’s junk peel off in two yr .
Yup, they do all rust!
why don't ya load the trailer with the tractor? just wondering..lol. love the Chanel
Have you tried to scoop up wood off pallets with a bucket? I am looking at a rock bucket or a root grapple for it???
@@InTheWoodyard ya a rock bucket would do it! I hear what ur saying about the material bucket. Just pushes.
Best job I ever had!!
Yup!!!
Ok now what do you get if you stack to the top of the metal sides and what you get if you stack even with tailgate or top of first side board. Seeing you get 5 face cords to top of top side board i wonder if you heap the top of that stacked or loose if you can pull off a face cord for 2 full coards ???
If I would stack it I can get 5 face cords in it but would rather not stack.
👍👍
Thanks!!

No, but there are charts on line for type wood weight by the cord and I have looked them up before and know that fresh cut green wood stacked high in the trailer will just about max it out.
why do you chuck wood in your trailer when you have nice new loader setting there.
Dirt, rocks, sticks, bark and all the things my firewood customers do not want. Plus have you ever scooped wood off of pallets with a bucket?
Good morning Chris, definitely a top of the line trailer, 🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
It works well!
It won't rust? Dunk it in salt water a couple of times.
I have had it sprayed with mist, liquid road salt and calcium chloride on the treated roads here for 2 years, no rust at all. I know a guy who has one that is 10 years old and his has zero rust to so...
Isn’t there an easier way to load the trailer, what about a grapple attachment to your tractor? 🇺🇸
Yup, we are working on that!
Howdy….love both your channels. How many cats do you have? I have 11, well one and ten kittens 🐈⬛
Thanks, maybe 12???
Good Morning Woodhounds!!!
Hello!
In hind sight do you wish you have purchased the 14 ft dump trailer instead of 12?
No not at all. I have all the trailer I need and want.
got a blinker out on passenger side of trailer?
Yup, I have a loose wire somewhere, most of the time it works???
21°F and Frosty here in Ashville Ohio this morning folks.... High of 45° the weather Guessers say... cold north wind.... Rain and snow comin Saturday.... Time to get it done if it needs doing!!
GNI
Yup, more weather!
I’m looking at the 14 ft so I don’t have to take off my bucket on my Kubota tractor. Did they give you touch up galvanizing paint or spray?
Yup, the 14' would be nice! No ...galvanizing is deep so I do not know if it needs ant touch up like paint????
How many cords of wood are on trailer now?
In the video and at what point in the video or now as in right now??? I can haul up to 5 face cords at a time (1 2/3 full cords)
Is a full load same as face cord price (per face cord)???
Yup, all the same, it takes the same amount of work to make each cord.
Well you tube erased me again,I think I said something bout with no music you can really tell how windy it stays at burt's.lol I forgot the rest...but thanks for my video.lol
Thanks for coming back!
I’m still watching the video as I type this….. have you had a chance to weigh your trailer on a scale when fully loaded? Just curious of the weight.
No, but I do know the weight of most wood types and the amount so I can guess pretty close.
Not to disagree but your trailer has not gone up in value, it's our money that is worth less so it takes more to purchase goods and services. It's the great scheme of central banks, which are privately owned, across the world.
Very good point! Yes with the gubmit printing more money and inflation our money is worth much less now!
