2006 Pete Grapple Truck
When we do removals, all the material is loaded in the grapple truck. We pull the marketable logs out of the load at our site then empty the rest at the mulch yard down the road. We then invite timber buyers to our yard to give us bids on the logs every few weeks/month or so. Once we have the...- joerussell

Interesting. We have never paid anything to dump brush. We will end 2014 with a little over $70,000 in revenue from selling our logs from removals.- joerussell

2006 Pete Grapple Truck
Thanks for the reply. We have actually been approached by Kurtz Bros. and Ohio Mulch asking us to dump at each of their competing mulch yards more often. They have stopped short of paying us for the material but dumping is definitely not a problem. The Kurtz Bros. rep stated that they preferred...- joerussell

Ear Tech headsets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Deevo, We buy the Sena's on Amazon and put them into our helmets in house. They work great! Now I wear my hard hat even when I mow my grass so that I can listen to pandora through the bluetooth. Peace- joerussell

This truck has a 21 foot floor. I'm certian of the exact other measurements off the top of my head but the floor is about 8 feet inside width, walls take the height to the height of the Prentice (13' 2").- joerussell

We have three trucks like this, and this is the lightest one. It's never caused issues for us in the past. All three of these trucks way less than an our crane. If you have sensitive pavement, we use a Gehl or mini loader to forward material to the street.- joerussell

2006 Pete Grapple Truck
Thanks for the question Cory, I am building my new generation of trucks a little bit larger. This one is 60 cubic yards and my oldest truck. The last 2 I have built are 75 and 80 yards. For my business the extra 15-20 yards of capacity makes a difference. This Pete is a complete, original...- joerussell

Mechanics Special Gehl 140 - Cheap!
Here's the deal. These machines are awesome. Top Notch Equipment is awesome. This particular machine has some goofy thing up with the axles. When I run duals on the wheels it will brake the axle drive-shafts within a few weeks. It has broken 7 drive-shafts in 2 years. I have a 340 and another...- joerussell
