    Why do climbers shun sawzalls?

    I have a smaller Tsurugi and love it for pruning. I would like to try the Sugoi but I am vertically challenged(read somewhere between hobbit and dwarf) and leery of strapping something hugely long to my leg. My Zubat 330 is great but needs a new blade.

    Yes it is. I’m pinching those pennies so hard they are yelling! But gotta learn. I’m enjoying reading the posts on here and learning from ya’ll. And taking advantage of all the free education I can get. It’s not free but looking forward to the Expo this year.

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    I hear you Joey and I think that is where my dilemma is. I want to get the job done safely, excellently, and efficiently( to quote my old boss and also the guy who trained me) and that means, to me, using the proper tools for the job. That also means renting some of those tools and checking my...

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Thanks! I don’t think I explained myself well. I don’t think the tools define my legitimacy but showing up equipped to do quality work does. I think what I was getting it is that if I bid a job I need to be able to complete it, soup to nuts, with excellence. Today that means renting a dump...

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Yep. Thanks for the thoughts. You and Birdyman have been super helpful. I may be able to upgrade the truck first and if I land a big enough job get a trailer. I rented a 6x10 Felling today and man did I love it. Waaaaay easier than unloading by hand. I had to borrow my dad’s truck to haul with...

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Thanks! Yep I do this full time and boy howdy do I ever miss the toys from my old job. I miss the people to don’t get me wrong. The Tundra will be upgraded as soon as I can get the scratch to do so. That has to happen. But hey, bright side, I will no longer be using a 2WD Ranger! You want to...

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Thanks @Joeybagodonuts ! First, love the screen name! Yep I agree with buying bigger than I think I will need. I hear you and that is what I want do. But as you said I gotta start somewhere and it looks like my somewhere will be the tundra, a smallish d-trailer and some very careful math and...

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Thanks! I appreciate the input. I agree that your decision makes sense. I’ve been burned buying older used trucks and am kinda leery of that but it looks like you found a gem! I like your thought process and the truck looks ver versatile. It is something I will definitely think about

    NEW TreeStuff Website!

    @bonner1040 - website looks great! I am using a iphone and safari to look at it. The description of each item is not listed when you click on it. A partial description is shows on the thumbnail but not on the full product page.

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Whoa! That is pretty amazing! I rented a 7x10 to use on Friday to see how the Tundra does towing it. If it does well i’ll look super hard at the Outlaw Trailer deal.

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Yep I agree with all the above points. I am working on making contacts for dump sites now. Since I don’t have a chipper I’ll need to be creative. I may end up with the burn pile you can see from space and light that sucker off when it is snowing.

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Ok. I have never heard of those. I’ll check em out. I hear you on debris being heavy. I’m tapped out cash wise so can’t buy another truck now. I’ll have to tow baby loads until another truck is possible. Thank you for the reminder and help! I appreciate it!

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Tundra is 2000 4WD. I think it is rated for 6500 lbs towing. Dustin at Outlaw said he would sell me a 5x10 or 6x10 Lamar.

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Thanks! What are air bags? Not too sure what you are talking about but it sounds interesting. I really don’t want to push this truck too hard. If it goes belly up then I am back to using my daughters 2WD Ford Ranger.

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Good guess! But no. My daughter is a folk musician and we are going to see Jac Thompson, Carly Bannister, The Arcadian Wild, and S. Grant Peterson at The Well. My daughter loves folk music and plays with some old hippies (their term) in our valley pretty regularly. They taught her guitar. So my...

    Looking for a used dump trailer

    Dude! That is awesome and way above the call of duty to help! I really appreciate it. Those numbers do help. I called Outlaw Trailers in TN and if the money comes in I’ll pull the trigger on a 6x10 from them in October when my oldest daughter and I go to Nashville. $4800 out the door. Looking...
