Share Pics of People Hauling or Towing Something Wrong

It doesn't necessarily look like treated lumber but if it is the weight could be deceptive.
I have bought treated lumber by the skid at HD that was so saturated with preservative that it was dripping wet and very heavy compared to dry wood.
That wood was 2x6. Yellow pine.

 

[mllud]

I see it now. It also makes sense that it would bend right at the body crease line and be stronger where the inner/outer panels come together below the crease line as seen in the photo. I guess there is no 2x6 on the front 4x4.

OK, I'm convinced it's real.

Carry on.

You do really have to be suspicious of online photos with all the photo doctor apps.
It looks like the forks and he bottom of the mast may have got hung up trying to back out.
It would have been so easy to load it from the rear sitting between the wheel wells.

But then he would have had to clean up the beer cans in the floor of the bed

They rented out a Disc?

What's the drawbar HP for that subcompact?

My guess on that soft ground would be around 3.

With the length of those rental car contracts we all blindly sign, I have to imagine there's a clause or two in there about "off-road use".

 

[dstig1]

Wood looks like cedar to me, possibly general spruce/pine/fir construction lumber.

And yes, pretty much all rental car agreements say no offroad use, even on 4x4's.

Tell me the small print writers saw discing as a possibility.

You're calling exemption on a technicality?

"No sir, it's not off-roading. It's farming!"

I believe it's Ai. It's funny though.
Zoom in on back tire, no tracks.

Or they just backed up in front of a 3pt disc sitting in the middle of a field. Parked & took a photo. It's not like driving through a tilled field is hard. Tire tracks in front of the tire, which happens if you put a vehicle in reverse.

I looked, hoping to find a video, but instead found this front view that shows tire tracks indicating the car backed into position.

The best part of that lumber load is that I'm pretty sure it could have just been slid into the bed, with no damage... I've done that a number of times on my old F250. Just pop the tailgate off so the fork truck can get in closer and have cribbing to set it on.

I just don’t get why people do this. Every place that sells lumber offers delivery. Why bother handling materials 3 or 4 times? People are just that dumb.

I noticed that right away. Doesn't require AI, just somebody with a sense of humor backing up to the implement and taking a photo.

Try that in rural northern Nevada - getting anything delivered like lumber - and see how far you get. Here, you are on your own as far as getting anything delivered.

Nearest Home Depot or Lowe's from my location is 130 miles.

This means no towns, no nothing - and no fences, so cattle and wild horses and deer and elk and antelope on the road, and by law they have the right-of-way. Hit and kill a cow and YOU (or your insurance) will pay for it:

On the flip side, no one is building much out there. Low demand dictates the lack of supply.

Wait, are you saying that you, too, can't get next day Amazon deliveries?

Oh well, at least I have you beat with a mere 110 miles to a Home Depot.

Fastest is about 4 days for anything from Amazon, and it has gotten slower lately and here's why. USPS does not deliver packages to individual homes or mailboxes in the area where I live. They deliver to their own "banks" of mailboxes which are a few miles apart. Each individual "mailbox" is just a slot perhaps 12" by 18" deep - but only about 2" high. So not much besides an envelope can be put in those and if a package is shipped USPS, when it arrives we get a slip in our mailbox telling us to drive to town to pick up our package. Which for me is a pretty good drive. Because of that I specify UPS or FedEx when I order something. There's a place on everyone's account on Amazon where you can select your preferred shipper. About a month ago I went onto my Amazon account and specified shipping ANY way except for USPS. Since then, EVERY package I've ordered on Amazon has come USPS. It's like they are doing this on purpose! If they continue this crap I may still do my research on a product on Amazon but I'll order from someone who will ship UPS. The reason I shop on line is so I don't have to drive to town!
