    Mini platform in front of truck

    Thanks. Very correct Reach. My chip box is 12' long x 6' high (always get the higher box for peeing). According to the math the capacity is "18ish" yards. I believe it to be closer to 16ish. I don't recall all the weights but when I was building it I looked everything up and added it all...

    Mini platform in front of truck

    I bought my truck about 6 years ago and started to have it assembled. Behind the cab is a great set up. Mine is a full sized (12'x6') chipbox with an L pack toolbox. Next is a 4' platform (spring assisted attached ramps) followed by a custom mat rack. The only down sides i have found are: 1...

    WTB 75’ Rear Mount Bucket Truck, OMME, or Easy Lift

    With wait times for new stuff getting longer and longer everyone I know is just fixing up their old stuff. Dump money into the ol trusty to make it not so rusty is still faster than waiting for new.

    Truck console

    Does anyone have a source for a truck console? I have an international 4300 with bucket seats. I am looking for a center console to go between the seats. I am not looking for a short one that sits on a bench seat but a larger one that sits on the floor and comes up. Couple of cup holders and...

    Silky Pole saws n/a ?!?!

    Avoid the notch pole saws. I bought one figuring even if it doesnt hold up Notch guarantees their stuff. Yeeeeaaahhh about that. The retainer clip broke on 1 of the extensions and a pole broke. I actually bought it from treestuff back when they were still cool. I called Sherrill. Figured they...

    Heavy dump trailer

    Poor welding in multiple places. Horrid metal prep so paint flakes off in sheets. Etc.

    Heavy dump trailer

    I bought a 14k PJ dump trailer a few years back. I would buy ANY other brand. They were a nightmare to deal with for multiple issues that came up until I just wrote them off and stopped bothering to call. Ef PJ trailers! Good luck with the new iron.

    Looking for new Stump Grinder

    I am in a similar boat. I demoed the Rayco rg55 today. It is a savage. Ground a 4.5 foot (including flares) elm stump in 20 min. Very impressed! I don't like the Rayco teeth so I think lll switch them to something else but other than that it was a good machine. 47k with the remote since you want...

    Vermeer Mini skid steer

    Individual track control is the only way to go. Much more responsive. To spin push one and pull the other. I own a DW sk800 and run a Vermeer 725 in my other job. No comparison 2 joysticks is WAY better.

    Member of this site stuck on a cruise ship.

    Lesson of the day, always get a room with a balcony! I would go stir crazy. Good lord, sounds rough

    34 year old tree worker killed

    One of the news stories I saw was that the "pull rope" was being tensioned and he tucked it under his arm to put his weight on it. The tree went the wrong way and launched him through the air. When he landed his head struck a rock causing a fatal head injury. It is a shame that there were 4-6...

    Dump trailer holding up to logs?

    I bought it and less than 4 months later the paint started to peel off in big strips from the $10,000 "investment" I had just made. There was a lot of rust in various places on the under carriage. Looked like a piss poor job of prep work before paint. I reached out to them since it was not even...

    Dump trailer holding up to logs?

    I currently use a 14k dump trailer to haul my logs. IMO ANY log disposal devise is prone to a beating. Loosing a chunk over the side while dumping is a legit concern for damage to doors chained to the side. Fenders take it if loading over the side and the log slips out of the grapple. Just buy a...

    Arborist/tree work license?

    That is all very helpful. Thank you very much. Here in MA there is no license requirement. I am just curious as to what it is like elsewhere. I have a friends in NJ so I am aware if their process. RI has a license requirement but it is VERY poorly enforced. I know CT has a license but dont know...

    Arborist/tree work license?

    I would love to hear what all your individual states require as far as licensing. Is it like a number of other trades (plumbing, electrical etc.) where an official license is required? I have a number of questions: 1. What state do you live in? 2. Is a license legally required to do tree work in...
