Hello everyone! Tomorrow morning I will have a new video on my other channel (Out of the Wood Yard) from our South Dakota deer hunt! Check it out! CHRIS GNI
Good evening I run a small firewood business like yours and Also use a dump trailer for deliveries I added a solar powered battery maintainer. Solved all my battery issues. Even through winter “NH”. Hope this helps!!
Nice video Chris. Tall sides look ok but worried about backing into garages now. Might have to make the top side boards easily removable for those loads that don't require the extra space. Customers tree was taking revenge for all of it's cousin wood in the trailer. Looking forward to SD hunting. GNI
Nice deliveries, Chris. I'm glad to see the kiddos helping unload once in a while, too. You could tell it just made her day that much brighter.. GNI. 😁👍
Nice boards to extend the sides with. Check in to a solar panel that can power a charger and put it where the sun can hit solar panel from about noon to 4 pm. Have a great day be safe.
Wow! Did the Tundra pull it ok? A cheaper suggestion is see if you can get long jumper cables that will reach from your truck battery to your trailer battery just in case you need it when the trailer battery dies, its not for charging just helps you get out of a bind. Great vide as always Chris!
Morning Chris, now you have fitted extension (greedy-boards) to your trailer you have dramatically increased the load on your hydraulic ram! To the point I would guess where you are maxing-out on recommended loadings! Nevertheless, you will note that the higher you trailer goes, the thinner the ram extension gets! Therefore the ‘square area’ your hydraulic fluid can thrust the ram forward gets less and less. So, the hydraulic force the fluid exerts on your ram, when you start out, is far greater than when you reach your last extension! Designers compensate for this by assuming that, as your tipper body gets higher much of the load is discharging, requiring less hydraulic thrust! So, notwithstanding circumstances beyond your control you MUST always ensure that when you tipper body gets to a certain height it is indeed discharging the load (weight) so that the smaller sections of your ram can cope! In layman’s terms, if your load is not moving, from the front end particularly, as you get higher and higher your are in trouble!! Additionally, I am sure you must know that you always must tip on flat gradients! If in doubt go back to your supplier and seek a bit of friendly advice! Cheers Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
Chris, when you cut off the bolts the ends will not be galvanized. Galvanizing is a surface coating. You will need to paint the ends to prevent rusting. We don't think you want 32 rust streaks running down your great trailer.
@@InTheWoodyard I would also coat the bolt heads you pounded on to get them through the boards. Probably the galvanizing was cracked and will begin to rust and streak.
I put a battery tender brand 17w solar charger on my dump trailer, because I had the same issue where I ran out of power. My trailer came with a plug in port, but where I park it is further away from a plug. It keeps my battery topped up all winter easily. The OEM website says they are out of stock, but they are on amazon.
If you add a battery in parallel you will get extra amp power. Positive to positive and negative to negative without disturbing the wires to the pump. Its like a team of horses.
Good video. Are those tie down rings on the floor of your dump trailer interfering w/the wood sliding out of your trailer on the dump? Your a pretty fair carpenter, looks like you need a pair of saw&fabrication horses . I have a good set of plans if needed.
G’morning Chris. Excellent first loading song ! (It’s not listed in the description). More taller is more better ! Looking nice. Congrats on all of the things. GoodNightIrene
Hello Chris do you think you need an Anderson plug on your trailer and wire the trailer battery to the car battery , I watch your channel every day keep up the good work 🤙
The Battery is charged from the Truck. And the Aux Connection is fused at 20 Amps. With the Truck running and running the Pump with the low Trailer battery there is the Possibly that Fuse can blow.
Hi Chris, any thoughts of getting a small power/pack booster for when the battery is about to die? They are about the size of a box of bullets and do work. They have ni-cad batteries and hold their charge. Another option is installing a second battery in your trailer if you have the room.
i bring batery jumper pack with me and put it on battery when dumping if battery sounds low, i only get 1 year out of dump trailer batteries before the battery pack and charger are weekly concern, last year forgot it and used customers car to get power, a little embarrassing
Good Idea adding extra height of wood for your trailer, would you consider using varnish to make the on the wood you added on the sides of your trailer, what are thoughts
I'm new to your channel, please tell me you charge to stack for your customers, to me work is work and we're not getting any younger. Truly like watching your videos, thanks
Yes I do, $20 a face cord or $60 a full cord only if I can back up and stack with out any steps. Much more for hauling in a wheelbarrow. Thanks for watching!
Hey Rickie! Yup, my brother Ken can get you some wood. Email me your phone number and I can have him call you to set a delivery up! chrisinthewoodyard@gmail.com
Yea when you dont have 30min plus between dumps. thats where the advantage of a small engine with hydraulic pump, or a engine driven pto is an advantage. . Try and remember to leave truck engine running, ""BUT JUST IDLE IT"" the draw with engine revved up running the dump can take out the alternator. Same rule for jumping another auto with flat battery.
It happened yesterday. I got the back window in my old dodge 2500. I'm 42 years old and that's the first one. It was just a bad bounce off 2 pieces and just the right tap i guess
@@ChrisLascari Have you gotten an estimate on a replacement yet with the holiday? I haven't bought any auto glass in 20 years but assume it is like everything and has skyrocketed in price...
Would it be possible to hook up electric to your truck to power your trailer for when the battery runs down? This would use your trucks electrical system to power the trailer in those rare times where you need it. Just thinkin'. :)
The Battery is charged from the Truck. And the Aux Connection is fused at 20 Amps. With the Truck running and running the Pump with the low Trailer battery there is the Possibly that Fuse can blow. Check the Fuse Chris...
You need to run high amp power cables to pull enough power from the truck charging system. Probably 0 gage (depending on amp load) from the front to the back with a high amp plug. It would be easier to put in a second battery and a solar charger on the trailer.
I’ve hauled 3 cords of firewood in my 14’ dump trailer with 4’ walls and weighed in about 2.5tons, depending on wood type. Dry wood is not that heavy for dump trailers.
get some battery cable and run from battery to back of truck and use Anderson connectors between truck and trailer and you wont ever have to plug trailer in again. It will let you do as many dumps as you need
Running a heavier load like that. Its going to draw more juice. Are you considering buying a second battery to switch out half way thru the day or putting another lift pump on the trailer? Or maybe hand unload 20% of the trailer? Was the guy upset about the tree?
I have seen several suggestions on charger/booster box which I have had those also, but just like a battery. Mine soon get to where they aren't as good anymore just like a battery. I carry a long set of jumper cables and hook directly to truck battery on the end of day dumps. Sure excited for a new video on the other channel. It has been way to long! All this wood chucking can sure put a damper on fishing/hunting/trapping time and is just not acceptable!🤠
Yup, I am getting some long jumpers and a solar charger too. It is not a great hunting video, I only recorded a little bit, I actually did not do much work on this trip!!!
@@InTheWoodyard The long jumpers have saved me on several occasions. I found some that roll up on a reel and are easy to store away under the back seat.
OH dang... your buyer is calling wondering where you are at "daylights a'burning" as he has some hired helpers waiting to help stack, the loader battery dying, you hit the guys well groomed tree and do a burn out on the driveway leaving a mark, you know later he will be cleaning up that burn mark and thinking all kinds thoughts about you... This is a tough business.
Hello Chris, a side from cutting the bolts, do you know anybody who could create a “Branding Iron “ or possibly wood burn you logo on to the planks of the trailer? It would be awesome and also give the channel some advertising! Have a great day!
Not a bad idea.. I have a 14’ Big Tex dump trailer. I have also added 2-2”X12” for taller sides. Now I have 4’ sides and can haul up to 3 cords. I like the name branding into the side boards idea. Thank you
I really get a kick out of watching you figure this stuff out. Probably owe you a case of beer by now for all the short cuts you've showed me. Who needs TV
The continual dead battery issue in the trailer is the very reason we sold it and went with a 14 yard dumpster bin truck. The bin floor is a full 2 ft higher off the ground than most trailer floors so the dumped pile is higher making for a shorter dump out.
I have my battery die about 2 times a year out of hundreds of dumps and it is always my own fault for not charging it . I am getting a solar charger and some long jumper cables...that is a cheap fix over a new dump truck that is 2 foot higher and harder to load.
Yes, cold batteries don’t last as long, you’ll need some extra batteries 😀 You’ll need to charge the battery on the trailer, the extra weight doesn’t help either.
With those side boards and larger loads I can suggest 3 mods for your tundra that I did to mine that will change your life. 1) real tow mirrors, there are a few brands out there that replace those mirrors from Toyota with something that actually help towing to be able to see. 2) Rear sway bar from TRD, seriously helps the stability of the truck. 3) Air bags for the rear suspension, really allows you to easily adjust the stiffness of the truck for loads. As a bonus I would also say since living farther north to swap out the factory halogen headlights with the factory led headlights since winter come early along with the darkerness they are a huge improvement. Love the channel
My side mirrors do pull out, it has the tow package, but I can see fine as they are. A lot of people I asked told me NOT do do air bags because of leaking failures eventually. I might get a set of helper springs , maybe 1,000 pounders. Sway bar...good call!
The new sides are a great addition to the trailer. A higher amp charger for a quick top up midday or a second battery might be a good addition as well with all the deliveries going on. A higher capacity battery would help. Great video! GNI!!
I liked the view from outside the vehicle when enroute to delivery. At the end there you “gave er the squeal” like they say on “Dave and Kelsie’s” channel. GNI!
Another great video Chris! That was a hard dump! I'm curious about the battery in the trailer. Is it a standard lead acid battery, AGM or something else? Wondering how well it will hold up with so many charge discharge cycles. If its discharging below about 10 volts for any length of time it could be getting damaged. Guess time will tell.
I carry a 30 foot long set of jumper cables so if the battery doesn’t have enough juice I can hook to my truck battery. Only time I ever have trouble is if it’s below zero. The battery is supposed to charge from your truck as you drive or is running.

Maybe make them hinged so you can drop them down if needed
I am not going to take the sides off unless I HAVE to.
I thought about it but....nope.
You made a nice tidy job of those “greedy boards”.
Nice deliveries, Chris. I'm glad to see the kiddos helping unload once in a while, too. You could tell it just made her day that much brighter.. GNI. 😁👍
Yup, kids are great! On the inside I am about 6!!!
Looks good Chris. Like watching a man working his plan and adjust as needed. Just keep the firewood moving and harvesting the Benjamins.
Yup, that is all you can do!!
That was a huge dump!!! Like the new sides!! Stay Hydrated and Have a Safe Day
Yup, thanks!!
Nice job! Looking forward to the hunting video.
Sunday deliveries coming up this morning. Finally quit raining here.
Time to KEEP PUSHING!!!
Yup, keep delivering!
Nice boards to extend the sides with. Check in to a solar panel that can power a charger and put it where the sun can hit solar panel from about noon to 4 pm. Have a great day be safe.
Yup, will do thanks Bucky!

Yup, the load was about 7k-8k and the tundra is rated for 10k
hi you do good work in many areas , just think now you can make a bigger dump . . nothing better than a big dump then the big money , john
Yup big dumps are good!
The new sides look great Chris! I like to leave my sides loose so they can be easily removed when needed👍👍
Yup, they are working fine, I do not plan on talking them off much ....if ever.
Morning Chris, now you have fitted extension (greedy-boards) to your trailer you have dramatically increased the load on your hydraulic ram! To the point I would guess where you are maxing-out on recommended loadings! Nevertheless, you will note that the higher you trailer goes, the thinner the ram extension gets! Therefore the ‘square area’ your hydraulic fluid can thrust the ram forward gets less and less. So, the hydraulic force the fluid exerts on your ram, when you start out, is far greater than when you reach your last extension! Designers compensate for this by assuming that, as your tipper body gets higher much of the load is discharging, requiring less hydraulic thrust! So, notwithstanding circumstances beyond your control you MUST always ensure that when you tipper body gets to a certain height it is indeed discharging the load (weight) so that the smaller sections of your ram can cope! In layman’s terms, if your load is not moving, from the front end particularly, as you get higher and higher your are in trouble!! Additionally, I am sure you must know that you always must tip on flat gradients! If in doubt go back to your supplier and seek a bit of friendly advice! Cheers Len (Devon 🇬🇧)
The trailer is rated for a 7,500 pound load and the most I have had on it was about 5,000 so no worries.
The side boards will allow you to save a lot of gas!! When ya can!! at 4 $ a gallon and 10 mpg when towing that'll add up fast!! Great add on!
Yup, fewer trips on big orders!
nice job on the trailer sides. you can certainly put a jag on it now....
Thanks ...yup!
Loved the new rails. Very pretty orange husky skill saw.
Yup, they work great!
Great job Chris Sides look great Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks Frank!
Another thought is to not load the front of the trailer full up and keep the bulk of the load over the axels and rear....
Yes but on a full load delivery (4 face cords) it is FULL-full.
Hello Chris, side boards look stout, busy man, Take Care 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Thanks Larry!
Chris, when you cut off the bolts the ends will not be galvanized. Galvanizing is a surface coating. You will need to paint the ends to prevent rusting. We don't think you want 32 rust streaks running down your great trailer.
Yup, I thought of that too! Thanks Bill!
@@InTheWoodyard I would also coat the bolt heads you pounded on to get them through the boards. Probably the galvanizing was cracked and will begin to rust and streak.
Always a critic....silicone your nuts to the bolts to keep them from vibrating loose.....great channel, great work, have fun on the hunt!.
Thanks for the tip! Good idea!!!!!
Looks good! Professional!
Thanks!
Absolutely excellent. Ran it exactly the way I would have. Great work and motivation!!! Great video!! And, informative.
Thanks Mr. Fork!
The growling woodchuck is good, you gotta make the trex roar from jurassic Park sound for it if u haven't already

Gonna need a CDL for that BEAST TRAILER! Looks nice.
Nahhh, it is only 10k
The fella with the fire loving wife will probably end up moving south or getting a winter home 🤣
Ha! Maybe so!
If you add a battery in parallel you will get extra amp power. Positive to positive and negative to negative without disturbing the wires to the pump. Its like a team of horses.

Thanks, it was sent to me by a viewer, he does not want fame. Cool music. Much more!
We don't do cold real well in Texas. LOL!
It is not cold here yet we only had a few single digit morning so far.
Nice trailer, I have the same one how do you like it? I find dirt stains mine easily how do you keep it clean?
I do not have stains because I use it every day maybe???
Hello Chris do you think you need an Anderson plug on your trailer and wire the trailer battery to the car battery , I watch your channel every day keep up the good work 🤙

hey Chris i carry a portable battery jumper box helps when that trailer battery take s a DUMP
Yup, good idea!
That little girl that was helping with the dump had some cold feet.
Kids are tough!
Just wondering do you charge for stacking if the customer help
Yes and no, some old customers (age and repeats) and yes for new people who just want it done!
Hi Chris, any thoughts of getting a small power/pack booster for when the battery is about to die? They are about the size of a box of bullets and do work. They have ni-cad batteries and hold their charge. Another option is installing a second battery in your trailer if you have the room.
Yup, there is a lot of options to make it better a booster is one!
Hey Chris I would watch you delivering wood all day. I was wondering if you are worried at all that your wood production is getting behind 💜
Thanks ...yes I am, I gotta get cuttin' sooooon!
Your videos are becoming action packed. Climbing to dangerous heights while refusing to use a stunt double..lol.
Yes, I do all my own stunts!
I wonder if u can put a dump truck battery. where it bigger in your trailer u can get more dumps.
Solar charger and long jumper cables.
Do you add a bit on their bill for stacking up the logs...
Yup, $20 a face cord, $60 a full cord...if I can back up to the rack.
@@InTheWoodyard yeah. I cut a lot smaller for smaller burners. I sell by the net bag most evenings now. Min 5 order
mite not ever hit your back window but u didnt miss that tree lol shit happens
The tree jumped out and grabbed me!!!
@@InTheWoodyard tree got up set u murdered his family lol
I like your getting the children envolved.

Yup, I will do that! Thanks!
Hey Chris, what kind of maple do you use the most ? And is silver an ok wood to sell if mixed with other kinds wood ?
Yup, 90% of my maple is soft maple...it burns/sells great!
The Trailer not too shabby!!!
Thanks Tracey!!!
I bet you those batteries in those New Electric vehicles last very long time in the cold weather HAHAHA!!!
Probably NOT!!!! Haaaaa!
Can you show a diagram of chords of wood what the dif between 1, 2,3 thank you so i can be up to par. I am in florida
1 cord = a stack
4' x 4' x 8 ft. Long,
128 cu. Ft.
(3 face cords)
1/3 of a cord is 42.6 cu ft .
He calls it a face cord.

Nobody can accuse you of not putting in a full day's work, Chris.
I only work a little over a day and I get to decide which 12-16 hours, THE best part of being self employed!
It happened yesterday. I got the back window in my old dodge 2500. I'm 42 years old and that's the first one. It was just a bad bounce off 2 pieces and just the right tap i guess
Bummer, Chris... Gonna take a few loads to pay for that! 🙄
Problem is I don't sell wood. Personal use keeps me busy enough with the limited time I have when at home (trucking). I'd love to have time for extra
OHHHHH NOOOOO! I hope I am not next...SHHHHHHH! Stop talking about it!!!!

The last one was a heavy load I bet
I’ve hauled 3 cords of firewood in my 14’ dump trailer with 4’ walls and weighed in about 2.5tons, depending on wood type. Dry wood is not that heavy for dump trailers.
Yup, I agree!
I would guess about 5k of wood and the trailer is good for a 7,500 load and the truck 10k so no worries.
There is no doubt you are going to blow that pump doing that much wood
The trailer is a 10k trailer with a load capacity of 7,500 that wood was at most 5k no worries at all.
👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Trailer over weight. Check you tounge weight also.
Nope, it has a capacity of 7,500 and that load was about 5,000
The day you finally start loading with a machine... you will wonder why oh why you didn't do it earlier. Come on man.... use a machine
Send me one and I will man!
Idea: keep the truck always running when you are dumping so the battery has a better charge on the dump trailer
yes and a second battery for that season delivery solve problem !!!
Yup, will do!!
Yup, good call!
get some battery cable and run from battery to back of truck and use Anderson connectors between truck and trailer and you wont ever have to plug trailer in again. It will let you do as many dumps as you need
Good idea !! Thanks!
The dreaded cold weather dead battery! We got hit with that as well while filming our last video.
Yup, It happens to the best of us!! Keep cuttin' the hard wood so your wife has something to hold!!

My side mirrors do pull out, it has the tow package, but I can see fine as they are. A lot of people I asked told me NOT do do air bags because of leaking failures eventually. I might get a set of helper springs , maybe 1,000 pounders. Sway bar...good call!
Great video Chris I myself like 👍 your deliveries their not all the same ❤
Thanks Todd!
Just curious what kind of nuts did you put on the bolts?
Galvanized and I am going to silicone calk the nuts and bolts so they do not rust or loosen.
Great Job on building the tall sides. as noted below, gotta watch-out for those low garage openings. and trees..
Yup, and basket ball hoops!
The new sides are a great addition to the trailer. A higher amp charger for a quick top up midday or a second battery might be a good addition as well with all the deliveries going on. A higher capacity battery would help. Great video! GNI!!
Yes and yes!!
Those low batteries sneak up on a person
Yes they can!
I love the sound of dry firewood in the morning
YUP, ME TOO!
Definitely have trailer envy!
It is a good one!
I liked the view from outside the vehicle when enroute to delivery. At the end there you “gave er the squeal” like they say on “Dave and Kelsie’s” channel. GNI!
Thanks for watching!
Another great video Chris! That was a hard dump! I'm curious about the battery in the trailer. Is it a standard lead acid battery, AGM or something else? Wondering how well it will hold up with so many charge discharge cycles. If its discharging below about 10 volts for any length of time it could be getting damaged. Guess time will tell.
They make new ones every day, if it dies I will get a new one.
Did you charge extra for the tree pruning 🤣 You was kinda stuck there for a minute. Nice job on the trailer 👍🏻👍🏻GNI
Nope, it is free!!! Haaa, I got loose though!
I carry a 30 foot long set of jumper cables so if the battery doesn’t have enough juice I can hook to my truck battery. Only time I ever have trouble is if it’s below zero. The battery is supposed to charge from your truck as you drive or is running.
Yup, will do! Thanks Wayne!!
How dare that tree get hooked up on your trailer🙄…
Yup, it just jumped out and grabbed me!
