Used my M1082 today to haul some wood (that will soon get cut up for firewood) from a tree that needed taken down so it didn't fall into either of the houses it was between. None of the huge logs got loaded as it was all done by hand. Will be hauling them soon with a drop gate/ramp civy trailer...
I plan on filling all of my M105s, both M101s and one M1082 with wood for easy removal of the first one to go empty and simply back another full one in near my basement door. Wood is my primary heat in a 1850s house with no wall insulation. Uses a lot of fuel.
I will try that on my M105s. Just yesterday I put a new green tarp on one and then put the leaky cover on, but it will still puddle, and leak. I wish I had thought of, or heard of your technique beforehand. Better late than never. I may still get away with it without removing the cover and tarp...
Here is a nice tip on keeping that cover nice and tight and puddle free. Get a 4'x8'x1/4" thick sheet of plywood and attach it to the top of the bows using rounded head flat or crosstip screws and then put the cover on. I got one this way from the Air Force at Peoria, IL. It looks very nice with...
Thanks Ahab, I kinda went a little overboard, but I will give them all a little love as time permits. Might move a good portion of them if and when some hard times come. They are inevitable. I just mowed behind them today and will be getting it all mowed where they sit next week. Grass=rust.
Oh, on topic. Here's the rest of my trailers from front and rear views. The M332 and the M101A2 is hard to see in rear view and one of the tan M105A2s is not visible in the front view. The M1082 is at home still attached to my M929A2 in my driveway. She's my baby.
Definitely well thought out. Stowage for ladder, side panels, posts, all of the bows. If only there were a place for the actual cover. I guess one could strap it on the tongue.
