    2018 8th annual CT Rec climb!

    I will try and make it. Had a great time last year, great group of guys. I think it would be awesome to set up a tree obstacle course and make a game out if it. Setting up a zip line would be pretty awesome as well. We definitely need to set up that tree o board and have a huge area to really...

    Mini skid steer shopping

    The ability to step on and off and the zero turn makes this in my opinion the best piece of equipment for feeding a chipper, also shorter length when working in roadways. Easier to train new operators on as well. Easier to jump off and out of the way in an emergency bailout.

    Mini skid steer shopping

    Ditch witch with BMG all the way I have 2 755's and they rock. I looked into the mini loaders but they wouldn't be able to do what a mini does working with a crane in suburbia. Also the capabilities for light grading and going up and down slopes is unreal. I have over a 1000 hours of runtime on...

    Spider Lift Comparison

    Great responses are Omme and Tracked lift the same brand? Why Omme over Tracked? I like the price of the 72' but think I need the mid 80' height to be able to piece out the typical 85' red oaks in the area instead of having to climb out of the bucket. The side reach is also huge to be able to...

    Spider Lift Comparison

    I can only compare what I saw at the TCI expo. I spent a bit of time looking over the various lifts. Looking to purchase for the upcoming spring season. I loved the tracked lift for its ruggedness every part of the machine is protected and it looks extremely well built. The price of the 89 is a...

    Aerial lift demo

    Good Evening Buzzers I am interested in trying out an aerial lift in real world working conditions? I live in northern NJ. I have a alc rearmount and love it but am thinking of adding a tracked lift in the 72-100' class to my arsenal. If anyone has one that I could come in and work for a day and...

    Unhappy customer.....best approach?

    Give it a few days to cool down. Talk on the phone no email as you can't tell the tone of an email. Politely apologize for any miscommunication not passing blame and explain to her how this review will hurt your business and if she will kindly review it and delete or correct it. Tell her you...

    New Bandit Chipper

    With chippers the bigger the better. If you buy a smaller one it will only be a matter of time before you need to upgrade and go through the hassle of selling then rebuying and if you don't have the funds can be without a chipper in the transition of the two.This will typically be when a storm...

    WTB smaller-sized chipper.

    Try getting shipping quotes from you ship. It's pretty reasonable I have used them before it's a free quote from them also.
