I posted last week about clearing some land for a guy. He bought 100 acres of woods next to and behind his house,I guess he gave the land owner behind him premission to put in a logging road to acess his land. Well last week we walked down the log road, it must be 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile into the woods! I forgot my phone on the walk in. But today I saw a truck pulling out, I couldn't catch it in time as I was about 60 feet in the woods, but I got a few pics, it's a steep grade down to the road and it's all wet clay. It was something to watch, I'd be scared driving down this road! Lol, I saw 4 trucks come out last week. I guess they have been logging in there for awhile.

That looks like one of Bailie's trucks. The road looks to be built very well, rip rap base, more than likely soil stabilization fabric and covered with gravel.
Years back(50's -80's), we went to norther Quebec, fishing each year and it was common to meet tandem triaxle trailers bigger than that running on corduroy roads built with dozers and much narrower than that one. It didn't bother them to keep the pedal down to pull the cradle knowels either. Us foreigners were on our own when we met one coming the other way. LOL.

Hey jay
Do you know if the hauler had a grapple on the truck/trailer?
Also do you know name or number?
I am looking to have some wood hauled?
Hope things are good
 
That looks like a very well built road to me. Rip Rap base, more than likely soil stablization fabric, and gravel. The truck looks like one of Bailie's, they go buy here often, with logs like that.
Years back, (50's-80's), we always went to norther Quebec Canada fishing. It was nothing to see triaxle tandems, bigger than that rolling down corduroy roads, made with dozers. The drivers wern't afraid to keep the pedal down to pull all the cradel knowels either. Us foreigners were on our own when we met one of these rigs. We came home with several cracked winshields from stones kicked up on the gravel roads. Blacktop ended at Mt. Laurie'.

Hi Steve, I didn't see any name on the trucks one of them was from Canada, yes the truck did have a grapple on the back some of the other trucks did not have grapples. I do not think they were from around here.
 
It works great on nice straight pieces, but twisted up ones are a pain, along with small limbs. The small limbs will plug the Discharge chute. It doesn't have auto feed.
 
Lol, going up the hill empty, they had the trucks wound right out, I could hear them over the chain saw!
 
Road looks decent enough to me... I'd hate to see a weighman if I was driving that truck tho. It would be an expensive interaction.

You think the truck is over weight? I don't think it is. Pics don't show how greasey road was after a few rain days!
 
Jay what do they let that rig gross up there. Our max with natural resources is 80,000 with 10% over or 88,000. We can only use 5 axes no advantage for 3 axel on trailer. Two bunks like that on a 35,000 lb rig will get it about loaded here in Tennessee.
 
Unless it's dry wood, I'd say he's heavy... It appears to be a load of hardwood... around here we'd figure about 10 cord of green hardwood. 16-18 cord of green softwood. That load looked like 16+ of hardwood....
That would be a massive fine here and we've got some of the heaviest axle and gross weights of any jurisdiction I know about... He could go down a full weight road here grossing 50,500 KG (111,100#) with that combination here.
I'd wager he's more like 120,000 in the pic.
