Off highway loggers is a entirely different breed that highway loggers. I ran 14 foot bunks on a KW in Lakeview, Oregon in the early '60's to 12 foot bunks on KW's at Mt. St. Helens with Amboy Trucking in the '70's. Most are geared for a max of 35 to 40 mph but have brute pulling power. It was easy to knock a empty trailer off the truck with a brow log on the 14 wide ones and it was done on occaision to get a guy's attention and other times purely accidental.

Mike Fourteen foot was the length Wayne Bare And Simpson ran on their Off Hiway units back in the early Sixties, for haulin Redwood. Packed on some monsterous loads, in those days. Course that was back in the prehistoric era, where any thing goes as far as gettin the loads out of the woods. William |

I'd go for the ten to foruteen foot range. What do you think Mike. A hefty truck for a hefty load. Follow your idea and do whats right there Ryan, After all we can only advise. Decide what area you are going to build it for and go for it.

Sounds good. Like I said, I am going to let my imagination guide this one. No set rules or anything.

I would say 10 or 12 foot bunks. Just my opinion and your building it for you.
