Bumps At Work!
Someone suggested we should start a "bumps at work" thread, and I thought it was a great idea. I'll start it and we'll see if it sticks around! Today I worked the crew for the first time. It was only 1200 lbs of scrap metal, but I don't think the truck dropped more than an inch. I seriously couldn't even tell it was there, besides it being a little slower!

I wish I had taken a picture of mine last weekend. Had the F250 loaded up with what the PO of my house laughingly called a compost pile. The truck bed was full about 3/4 of the way, and the bump trailer was loaded down with brush and tree limbs.
Doing what it was made for.

re: Bumps At Work!
The 68 bump was a farm truck, it used to haul all the feed, fertilizer, and the occasional tractor implement. But it's hardest job as Linda remembers it was hauling the hogs to market with the homemade stake bed addon's and a couple of times hauling yearling cows to market. The old bump earned it's keep the hardway, and her dad wasn't afraid to make it work. His one pet peeve was that everytime it worked it got cleaned back up afterwards so it would be in good shape.

Here is one back in 1999 lifting logs on the cabin.
Winching logs around. Comet (Mark) is the ugly dude.
The bump paying for my heating bills.

That better be a bottle of root beer I see on top of those logs. Unless, of couse, you were done with the chain saw!
Great pics so far. Love the matching paint on the truck and trailer, and the log workout is just plain cool...
