    Any experience with Altec 610?

    I have the opportunity to bid on an Altec 610 at auction. It would be towed behind my one ton dump truck. I know it’s just a little six inch, but I am a smaller company and I don’t want to go into debt. What are your experiences with this chipper?

    I would say verticillium wilt. If not that than improper planting

    Which to choose? Compact utility tractor VS Mini Skid VS Gehl

    I have a John Deere 3005 27hp compact tractor with root grapple. It has a 60” wheelbase, can lift/dump ~1000# over 89” walls, weighs under 3000#, and doesn’t damage lawns. Side panels around engine compartment detach too for easy access to engine for maintenance Bought used at a price...

    Any experience with Southland Dump Trailers?

    Local auction has a couple brand new 2020 14’ Southland SL270 dump trailers going up soon. It has 12 gauge bed with 14 gauge sides keeping the weight at a light weight 3200# empty which is fine for the applications I would be using it for. Just wondering more about wiring, axle, or hydraulic...

    I also like the idea of being able to haul the material to the loading site when possible. I like the compact tractor idea with a grapple attachment too.

    Mini ex on 1 ton flatbed dually towing 16’ dump trailer as first big setup opinions???

    I’ve considered that and would definitely buy a smaller one if the opportunity arose. With the majority of my jobs just being pruning, I kind of like the idea of a lighter setup that I can store at my house without infringing on residential zoning code (nothing over a 1 ton can be stored at a...

    Mini ex on 1 ton flatbed dually towing 16’ dump trailer as first big setup opinions???

    Yeah a mini skid may be the way to go. Just needs to be able to lift up and over dump walls and be able to pack brush down in the trailer

    Mini ex on 1 ton flatbed dually towing 16’ dump trailer as first big setup opinions???

    Thank you for the good input. The mini ex speed is an issue but it would mostly be used to load staged brush next to the trailer. I am leaning towards the ex over a mini loader because of the lift height, reach, and ability to swing. In the future I would definitely put a chip box on the truck...
