Marty, you wouldn't have to worry about wheel weights if you had simply bought a CAT instead

This is the industrial loader, it's twin is the JD400 backhoe Dad bought years ago. Take the backhoe off and you tend to loose a lot of traction. With all the weights on the back I've carried three 800 pound round bales with the loader.

You know I'm just busting your chops, I once had a John Deere, I think it was a 1962 410 two wheel drive backhoe and that thing was a beast, I don't know what it would lift but I can tell you I've had the back wheels off the ground with the hoe stretched out behind it, my Cat will lift 4000 pounds at 10 feet but it's all it wants

Oops, I forgot to mention, my John Deere was yellow

I'm thinking your 18 cords piled up will equal 9 - 11 cords when stacked tight.  There is a lot of air space in stacked wood

The 401 is like a '76 model. The 400 backhoe Dad has had since I was little and he bought it used, has paid for itself 10 times over since then.

Not sure wha the 401C will lift but with all the weights on the rear and a round bale on the three point spear I've still managed to have both rear tires of the ground a time or two. Loaders on those were crazy strong.

If you are worried about how much you have, send it here and I will stack it and let you know.

LOL, sure thing, you want that sent by UPS, USPS, or FedEx?

[coolidge]

You don't do delivery, might need some help stacking it.

Better not send it USPS. If anyone can lose 18 cords of wood it's a federal agency.

That ain't no joke. Ordered something from Amazon, UPS got it across two states in less than a day, then they dropped it off at the post office in the nearest major city, less than 20 miles away, took three days to get it after the USPS got ahold of it.

My local post office had a package since 3-16. Sender paid almost 8 bucks to have it shipped through them then I find out my local office won't deliver packages, WTF money had been paid to have it delivered to my door. What a joke the flat rate boxes are!

When I bought my Cummins it didn't have the owners manual with it so I bought one on Ebay that was up in Michigan, they shipped it USPS 

Left Michigan, went to Indianapolis to be "sorted" from their it ended up in St. Louis, then went to California, from California back to Indy, from Indy to South Bend then it sat there for 3 or 4 days, finally got it 3 weeks after it was shipped from a place less then a hundred miles from where I live.

No wonder they can't turn a profit and they even have a monopoly on first class mail.

I say they need to just stick with envelopes and leave the boxes to the professionals

See what happens when government goes up against private entity

Picture from the end of the woodpile with the wife (all five foot of her) as a comparison, and this time didn't have to fly 8 hours away to have her picture taken with her eyes closed.
