Like the title said just wondering how many chords or ricks of wood ya guys have managed to load in these. I have a M1009 to haul with.

You limitation will be the 1009 not the trailer if you are going any where with hills. I have had a full cord on my 101 and it was back in the woods and had to rescue the trailer with the tractor. The 1009 did not want to pull the logging roads with a full load

Thanks Swiss. Itll all be pretty good roads or flat woods. Maybe some ditches every now and then? Any Idea how much wood a m416 could haul?

I have hauled a multifuel motor in a can in my M101a2. Keep an eye on your spring to axle clearance and drive accordingly.

I would think the M416 would struggle with a half cord if it even phyisically fit. As Gimpy pointed out, that multifuel he toted tips the scales just over 3000# in the can. Not bad for a trailer rated 3/4 ton (or mabe had the 1 ton upgrade).

We loaded a M101 with NDTs with enough wood to set it down to the bumper stops and he drove it 20 miles. He does like that 101.

Thanks for all the information guys! Got a lot of wood that needs moved. Hoping the M101 I am looking at will do the job.

Yes it will do the job, don't overload the trailer or your vehicle and watch your load balance, springs and safety chains etc and you will be good. Out of all my trailers 105, 1101 and 101, the 101 is my favorite.

Sorry, but all I hear is "How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?"
