    When do you guys call it due to rain?

    I understand the rationale completely. however, on those days that it's to wet to work what are the crew members doing? Are they sent home? I can't see any sizable company keeping employees busy in the shop as a mechanic is much more efficient. Training?

    Ditch witch sk650

    Bought an 850. We have a 750 as well. Considered the 1550 but couldn't justify the extra coin when we have full size track loaders as well.

    CDL/log truck question

    Maybe u meant log truck but you wrote lot. You don't need an a for a straight log truck. Unless they are DOT I'd tell them to stick to something they actually may know facts on.

    Major Decision

    Does anyone happen to have the load chart for the pk5002 at hand? We run a stick crane and though production is unbelievably high I feel like at some point this in inevitable and I need to start planning for it to stay ahead of the curve in my territory.....

    Advertising?

    Sooooo,you offer this as a service for tree companies? We have done SEO ad words etc. I'm not the most tech savvy and try to be wise on where our best ad dollars go but it's very hard to tell what really works. Expensive as well....

    ditch witch sk1550

    Had to go to the dealer this week and saw it again. It's impressive. Your probably right though as we have full size track loaders. The specs on this 1550 is just short of a bobcat t190 lol. And $40k is getting up there in price.

    ditch witch sk1550

    We have a 650 and a 750. Happy with both but the 650 is starting to nickel and dime. Time for an upgrade so the question is to go with the 1050 or jump to the 1550.

    ditch witch sk1550

    Anyone put any time on one of these yet? We are waiting on a demo but figured Id check in the meantime. The dealer said even with the increased size and weight they are proportioned very well and don't seem to cause any more of an impact than the smaller loaders. ???
