    Best Pickup for dump trailer?

    @flyingsquirrel25 Yeah I guess I'll just keep it light for now. Its weird that it comes in a bumper pull as a standard when it seems that its very unstandard for a bumper receiver to be rated at 14k. Mine is a custom bumper that came with the flatbed thats on their so I'm sure its beefed up BUT...

    Best Pickup for dump trailer?

    @Z'sTrees Yes I believe its around there. This is a 4x4, crew cab, gas, bumper pull. I'm not sure what your set up is. I see people pulling a lot more with a lot less but I just want to be safe and also not break my truck!

    Best Pickup for dump trailer?

    Hello, I am currently towing my 7x14 dump trailer with my 2001 f350 SRW which is rated around 9000lbs towing I believe. Rarely do I overload the trailer past the trucks capacity but it has a capacity of 11000lbs which would bring its weight to about 14000lbs. I would like to be able to use the...

    Bucket truck price

    I got the dealer to send me pricing for the basic chippers plus how much each individual option would cost. Theres SO MUCH extra stuff that i wouldn't even think of getting. Theres even 3 different options for the 130hp GM engine all to do with the clutch it seems. But all I need to worry about...

    @flyingsquirrel25 Yeah they don't demo they just have one they will bring to a job and let me use. I definitely want a winch too. I would be able to use it for so many other things too.

    Bucket truck price

    @96coal449 yeah I hear you I'll just have to shop around for a while. @RoyalTree thats another thing I don't even have a mortgage yet because I haven't had 2 years of profit because I just keep buying stuff. So I need to think about how that will affect my ability to get approved.

    Bucket truck price

    @96coal449 yeah so right now I am thinking new gas or used diesel. However it seems like all used diesels have too small of an engine(I guess all the larger ones are snatched up fast) I probably would want to spend $30k tops buying used but wouldn't mind spending $50k new. Those budgets are...

    Bucket truck price

    @flyingsquirrel25 Yep I've read both the thread about the fuel tank and the thread about gas chippers in general. I am trying to not be that guy who asks questions that have already been answered elsewhere. My dealer has a 1390 w/o a winch 130hp gas that is currently being run around by him to...

    Is there still an option for a 13-15 inch or are they all 15 inch? Also there was no option to get a bigger tank?

    Bucket truck price

    Okay so keep in mind I'm still open to advice. New gas chipper, new diesel chipper, or used diesel chipper are my options. Im just going to continue researching

    Bucket truck price

    Well I love selling firewood but I don't have a place to store it at the moment so I'm not doing any at the moment. I think I'm wanting the bigger chipper for larger wide pieces of brush and the occasional close to capacity log. I don't think thats a bad mindset? They also have a 1590xp with a...

    @frashdog I see a couple new 2016 1390xp w/ winch 130 hp gas for $40k. I guess thats because they came out with a new line of drum chippers and they are trying to get rid of the old ones. I'm a big fan of gas engines too. But I guess thats something I would have to buy like right now.

    Bucket truck price

    @frashdog The thing is here I don't have enough work to where I'm turning people away. So I don't NEED it as much as its the next thing I should be looking at. So a 12-18" chipper then a bucket. So the real question is will the 12" get me there faster costing less or will the 18" get me there...

    Wow thanks again for the input. Okay maybe I should have titled this post "Next equipment suggestions" My old boss had the contract for a local airport so we were trimming trees along the bike trail and elevating them along the roads. So forestry body Asplundh truck and chuck and duck made sense...
