That truck looks a little under-qualified for that load. I was thinking the same thing... That truck looks a little under-qualified for that load. You’ve never done much on a farm I’m guessing Yeah, many farmers (and others) run overloaded at times.. That doesn't make it safe, or legal.. If that rig was seen on the roads around here I'm guessing the state patrol officer who pulled it over for a weight check would be writing quite a hefty ticket fine..

We use a lot of Popular lumber for interior trim. Paint grade. Also for cabinets . Seems like soft maple wood be close to the same density. Where is Cashking when we need him? Popla is softer wood ain’t wurthafuck for firewood Brd, Poplar wont hold up to nice oak for heating, but it actually makes a really nice campfire wood. Easy to split, easy to light, and doesn't smoke like some of the other woods when you're sitting around a campfire. You get plenty of heat out of it, just not the BTU's of oak for heating. I got 3 big tops up back of my house I'm gonna cut up and put back for campfire wood this summer. It's mid-October, the last thing I want is a 5 alarm fire, I just need some heat to take the chill out overnight/am. Popple works. Save the maple for November...

Couldn’t give me soft maple to burn. Doesn’t burn good, lots of ashes too much work and handling for little heat
Give me green locust all day long

OK, fess up Wabigoon. You really gonna cut, split and stack that load? I’m skeptical. 🤔 Hell no, lol. He'll sure as shit watch the work though. And help himself to the stack.

Judging by the country in the pictures and the logs on the trailer. it could be Silver Maple.
Most likely cut down along a river or stream, in a town park or graveyard. This ^^ If anyone is interested, I have a $hit ton of ash trees that have been bit by the emerald ash borer. I want it gone. If you are anywhere close to Iowa and have a heavy trailer I can point you in the right direction to the bottom ground. kwg

I have been burning ash all winter. Very good firewood, not as many BTUs as oak but close. Easy to split. The emerald ash borer killed all my ash trees.

The EAB first came to notice in Minnesota in 2002. It is a bug from Asia, apparently some machines had been shipped from Asia in wooden crates, were unloaded off the boat in Duluth, and a Mommie and Daddy EAB had a nest in the wood of the crate.
The EAB was unknown previously in the US, but by 2016 it had made its way down here to the Blue Ridge mountains, and killed all my ash trees.
Some scientists say this bug will kill every ash tree in North America.

The front looks like Silver Maple and the back logs look like Ash. Now, if I'm wrong, who cares. One thing I know about firewood. You have to get it for free , or it is not worth your time. I get it from a tree service , but I have to be working close by or it is $17 of deisel fuel to run there and back. Then cut it split, stack and wait a year . Nat. gas is still very reasonable and not worth my time , but I do it cause I have a gassifier wood boiler and the hydronic heat can't be beat. As for popple, planted 700 on my 3 ac. They grew 6' a yr. and then quit. Most are dead . However, they are 50 yds. from my wood boiler and cause of the hybrid popplar , I dont touch my hardwood till mid November.. I paid 10 cents each for them. They are a nice looking tree but dead in 15 yrs.
But the fruits of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness,faithfulness, Gentleness and self control. Against such things there is no law. Galations 5: 22&23
