    What trailer for an Easylift 87-48AJ or 101-48AJ?

    I hear you on that. Unless you have a class A to tow a very large trailer or a small dump truck/trailer combo with a gross combined vehicle weight rating of 26,000 or less. Loader on the truck, lift on the trailer, as others have said.

    What trailer for an Easylift 87-48AJ or 101-48AJ?

    I’m not sure about that in your state. In Mass and many other states the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) NOT the GVW (gross vehicle weight) will be what determines whether or not a CDL is required. For example, my dump truck has a 10,000 lb GVW but has a 16,500 lb GVWR. So without a CDL I...

    What trailer for an Easylift 87-48AJ or 101-48AJ?

    Good question. I guess it depends on the driver and also the road conditions in the area. Ie. flat vs steep or hilly etc.

    What trailer for an Easylift 87-48AJ or 101-48AJ?

    That’s still class A territory unfortunately. The total weight including the weight of the trailer will be close to 13,000 lbs with those machines.

    What's wrong with my cherry tree?

    It’s most likely “brown rot.” It’s a fungus disease.

    Anyone ever had their chipper sandblasted and painted?

    We didn’t have to take anything off for the price we paid My only gripe was that they didn’t pull off the brand new aluminum fenders before they blasted. (Only four bolts per fender). It dulled them and made them look aged.

    Anyone ever had their chipper sandblasted and painted?

    In 2012 I had my bandit 200XP painted (purchased new in 1999). Total was $2500.00 Sand blasted Epoxy primer Paint It came out great. I’m sure the prices are up since 2012. Possibly closer to $4000.00 now

    Mesh/Tarp Roof for chip truck

    We used heavy mesh tarps for years. They worked great when we had only one dump truck for our tree business. We had them custom made with the heaviest mesh available.

    Species of Hawthorne?

    They suck…unless you need a really good armed shrub/tree to keep people out of an area then they are great! Better than a fence

    Tree Mek tips from experienced owners and operators

    I like what both of you have suggested and will probably combine both methods. Climbhightree. How’s that Cummins engine been treating you?? Any warranty work or issues with that engine?? I ask because I most likely will have a western star like you

    What trailer for an Easylift 87-48AJ or 101-48AJ?

    I think an 18’ mission is plenty for that easy lift. I have a 20’ mission rated for 10K. The trailer itself weighs 1500 lbs so the easy lift 87 would have you close to max capacity but would be under cdl class A. Mission will custom build your trailer and will add stronger axles and...

    Superior Power pole saw?

    I run echo, stihl and husky. I’m not a big fan of stihl but their 131 blows the doors off the rest (so long as it’s not broken lol).
