Someone on here sent me a link to one earlier in the year but I cannot find it.
I am looking for a truck with a powered line spool that is stout enough to pull & spool 4000-5000 feet of 1" to 1-1/4" line.
Even just the line winder is an option also.

This came up for sale by me, and I thought of this thread. $100,000 is a lot of money, but I don't think you see too many that will handle 10,000' of 3/4" cable. Looks to me like they are set up to free spool also.

171 FPM sounds kind of slow for that big of a drum. But it may have a high side.

Ah but the Motherload of White Oak is but two states away in MO and AR!! Could have been used on River Traffic work, tie off and drag hulls upstream.

Well they need to start logging that white oak-mow it down and make houses out of it.
Every house in the mid west should be made out of White Oak-----Tornado proof.
All nails have to be driven by hand.

Too busy cutting them for White Oak whiskey barrels!!
Barns of White Oak mortice and tenon jointed post and beam, are some of the most durable and long lived out there. Just not affordable these days

They sure are. I did some siding repair on a couple of old barns recently and was just impressed at the quality and longevity of the construction. If the owners will maintain the roof and siding, they'll last almost indefinitely. The one barn I worked on was a 1950's build, the other was built around 1885. The 1885 barn is in really great shape, and is all mortise and tenon/ wooden dowel construction. All of the original timbers are hand hewn. No fasteners or mechanically sawn timber except for modern repairs or upgrades. It has been in the same family for 4 generations since it was built. They have actively maintained it for their farming operations and the care shows. Roofline doesn't even sag.

The 1950s barn was built by the previous owner for his dairy operation. My grandpa bought his farmstead upon his passing in 2002, so I am very familiar with this facility. I knew Mr. Houser when I was a kid. A strong man of short stature, he was only about 5' 4". There isn't a 6ft doorway in that entire barn. Mr. Houser cleared 10 acres of oak off his land to generate the logs needed to make the lumber. A sawyer milled his logs, then Mr. Houser built his barn. Approximately 60x80, stanchion barn with a full hay loft, he made his own arch trusses. By the time my grandpa bought the barn, the floor of the hay loft was in desperate need of repair, that it never received. We don't do loose hay or small squares, so we never put any extra effort into that maintenance. The exterior of the barn is kept up with, as we do raise heifer calves in the bottom of the barn. We've raised heifers at that farm for well over 20 years. Not the most efficient of facilities for doing so, but we made do with what was available.

Growing up the son of a third generation farmer I know exactly what you mean Colson.
“We can use this…”
Valuable life lessons.

Do they have to be new nails?

Yes you can use your bucket of used nails if you like. Don't hit your thumb.
