Thank you. I kind of thought so but the trunk is roughly 3 feet diameter. I've never seen hackberry that big!

It is not real common but they do get that big occasionally

That’s a good looking on 8. Good model. I think I’m gonna have to get me a semi and lowboy next. Trucking this bigger stuff is starting to be a headache.

We usually see them that big in old fence rows here. Have seen a few locally over the last few years.

Big hackberry is common out here. But by that time they are usually getting a soft heart.

Yup...

Over 24” are pretty much firewood fodder.

 

[Hedgerow]

Honestly, over 20” is losing its luster as clean wood.

I can remember a few where we buried a 36” bar on dads 655 poulan pro. It sure made a lot of fire wood.

Looks like you could move some earth with that thing. Do I get a finder's fee?

Lol! Ok. Trucking would kill you though. Quotes I got the other day were 3-4 per mile minimum plus permits if needed. Prlly be 2-3k just for trucking. Now if I get me a truck, game on!

High stakes poker right there.
Ethan keeps his on the back roads, as he is “riding dirty” lol..
Never pass an inspection..

That’s true. And prlly what id do as well. Too expensive to be able to pass an inspection to make it worthwhile.

Tires, brakes, lights, airlines, windshields. Commercial insurance is an outright scam. I could go on but the list is endless.

Depends on the inspection. A yearly inspection at the shop is different than an inspection at the scales or from a roaming scale jockey & those are subject to the inspectors.

I got a warning for my air supply lines showing wear, I could almost feel the flat spot on them...

A friend got fined because his glad hands were not clearly marked, paint was flaking off & faded.

A fella can appeal or fight a ticket but warnings you cannot and regardless of what the nice officer tells you a warning still goes against you.

Speaking windshields, I caught a rock while going down the highway...
