the deck is 4x8, the sides is a piece of plywood cut down the middle length ways so the sides are 2 feet high. I stack the front and back row and throw the rest in thus it is not a full 1/2 cord in the trailer. Filling the buck which is 1/10 of a cord, makes up a bit more then 1/2 cord. Load . Filling the bucket keeps the tractor front end planted and I dump that wood right into the truck so no handling at that wood unless I decide to stack it. <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/files/owning-operating/437014-tractors-wood-show-your-pics-image-3124842545-jpg"/>
