Mine is 8’ wide, I do not know the opening.

Maybe I ran over a cow pie, and the tires flung it onto the truck. Dunno.

These are on the way.

Well Well, it's getting serious now.

Those look beefy.

Yes.

And yes.

I’ve been looking for a couple years, finally found one suitable. It’s hard to get logs into the bucket, they roll away. And they have to be short.

:steeringwheel: So, . . . . 20 forward gears and 5 reverse?? Plus the 2 speed multiplier cuz of the transfer case. This set-up didn't increase your top speed at all, just major towing and crawling speeds, . . . correct? Very impressive.

I have not tried to figure it all out, it gives me a headache. All I know is I get more reduction when I want it, and I do not have the big gap between 3rd and 4th that the 5 speed overdrive is known for.

Correct.

Crawl ratios are 61:1, 113:1, 207:1, and 375:1.

Did you build that just for the Dusy Ershim trail?

I wish to run that thing one day, but you have to have such a built up rig to run it. I would have to ship my toyota out there and then back. It's a commitment for a Wyoming boy.
