    Yikes!

    I have seen some dead MFers as well; although i don't think wearing or not wearing a hard hat would have made much difference.... The big idea with any safety gear is to have a safety mindset in the first place. All the gear in the world isn't going to do you much good without a safety mindset...

    Yikes!

    Best startup ( ..$$) truck/trailer/chipper combo for weekend warriors ?

    I have read this thread a few times now. All of this is good info and good questions, I love the internet. In my market grapple trucks are cheap to subcontract and the 1099 is a 100% write off at the end of the year another Awesome 1099 is a labor service: they do all the payroll expenses...
