I hope his wife was plenty sorry and made up for it, hehe

 

Aw Gigger !!! you had to go there didn't ya

Ferguson !

Are you sure you left something behind - I think I see the kitchen sink, and washer/ dryer on the back there

surprised that "little" load pushed down on the back of the dually so much - maybe needs some of the heavier stuff moved back on the trailer ?!?

Thanks as well - very fortunate to be able to get it and resolve my overweight issue
it's actually 38' and with 15500 gvw !!! would be too heavy if I loaded it out with washer / dryer, etc...
but weighs in @ 11.5k dry and only 13.5k loaded like we do... and tows like a dream !
but of course, the wife wants something new (again !!!)

 

Well iam originally from MI & go back every summer to visit friends/family.
We just go from location to location pulling our house
Starting out in Dundee/Monroe area then heading up to Clare/Houghton lake area w/a possible stop in Fenton......Whew thats alot i guess !!!
Thanks so much for the invite, i just dont think ill have any time
Place looks real nice though
Are u going to be up there in the 2nd/3rd week's of June

 

I heard that, hard to keep em happy
It sounds nice, mine is a 2009 Heartland Sundance Ultra-Lite BH but is only 31 feet & my wife has already bugged me about a 34 ft w/the larger Bunk House for the kid's. I do like the 2-tone Brown one's though (would look good behind the KR), i just cant afford to upgrade again at this time.

 

i wouldnt say it was working... think if it coughed it coulda yanked em out... but they did have 17 yrs of root growth...


and i only got half the plant.. other half stayed in the ground till i re-wrapped the chain..


that entire area was covered in 3 bushes... they were cut back to the main plant before i went pulling...

pile of all 3...

 

Well done Spark, looks good

 

ty gerry... i wish theyd put up more of a fight though... coulda gotten the turbo spoolin lol...

 

You underestimate how hard it is to get those out !!!
I had a cj-5 that couldn't pull some bushes out and hooked up the truck and let the 'bouncy' rope work on it...

I was too chicken to hook a chain to them and damage something (or someone) when it slipped off You are a braver man than I !

 

they really werent all that hard to pull out... one of them i just let the truck idle w/ it in drive and it was able to yank it out.. ground was soft enough you could move it by hand.. sorta.. but i didnt feel like digging them out or trying to pull it out by hand..

back when i still had my s10 i tried to yank a holly bush out with it.. bush won hands down.. even with dads 1500 it put up a fight.. he had to do running starts to get it to budge... wish i coulda had my f350 for that one.. would have been more fun...

 

Had to play in the dirt a little today. Rented a Bobcat and roto tiller attachment.

 

nice! howd it tow? when my old truck had stock tires (2v 5.4, auto) i towed the same bobcat but a little bigger trailer and it wasnt bad, just didnt like hills

 

It towed pretty good actually. Ended up putting on about 100 miles with it because it had a broken pivot pin on the bucket, so I had to take it back and get a different one. Between the Bobcat, tiller attachment, and trailer I figure it was right around 10,000 lbs. It's not too hilly around here, but it was pretty happy cruising down the highway at 65. It would be better if I didn't have the 3.73 gears, but as often as I tow something heavy it's not worth changing them. Only thing I didn't like was the surge brakes on their trailer were pretty much worthless. Would have been much better with electric brakes.

 

Here's a few shots of my truck having fun...

DON- looks good with out the running boards. Not sure that truck is even working though.

KD- Pics look good.

 

Thanks Bently! Here is the current configuration - installed factory steps from a 2012 Super Duty and installed some American Racing ATX Series rims.
