    Tractor, skid steer, or excavator?

    That one is an x040. I also have an x080 that I run grapples and a masticator head on

    Tractor, skid steer, or excavator?

    No offset, it’s just curled out or up in that pic. In any case I didn’t do anything to it, stock set up from kubota.it does bleed off like if I grab a log off center, if it’s big enough it will rotate heavy side down. Kind of a pain if I’m in the middle of something delicate like the other day...

    The Hoeflon C10

    Hey @oceans , in this photo it appears you have “line up” “line down” capabilities? Can you lower a pick like a stick crane?

    Tractor, skid steer, or excavator?

    I hated my rigid for the longest time, I was so used to dangles but after I finally got the hang of it I really like it now. There were some exciting times near the chipper though. That looks like a really well thought out set up. Hope they sell like hot cakes

    Avant 528 vs cast 33d

    Dave is good guy. I bought my giant from him and he’s always been super helpful, he’s a tree guy and knows what we’re trying to do. I Highly recommend him.

    Let’s talk about hook lift trucks

    After watching my buddies hook lift in action I truly regret not going that route when I had my chip truck built. He has a flatbed equipment hauler, debris boxes, log bunks, water truck tank with all the sprayers and hoses, maybe others I don’t recall and can pull a trailer behind any of them.

    Tractor, skid steer, or excavator?

    I have the 254 tele with a bmg dangle grapple. When I bought it from tnt it was the first giant on the west coast. It has held up very well and it will lift snd carry surprisingly big loads but it took a minute to learn how to carry he’s y stuff. Picture carrying a log in your arms ,tucked up...

    I doubt you would regret buying an articulated loader like the giant or avant

    Tractor, skid steer, or excavator?

    And don’t limit your thinking to only one machine. It should be more like “this one for now and another style later when you can afford it.” I have the giant articulated loader which is fast and nimble on good ground and a couple kubota mini excavators with rigid grapples for everything else. A...

    Avant 528 vs cast 33d

    I have a giant 254 tele and my experience with Top Notch Equipment has been great. They have always been very helpful even though I’m on the opposite side of the country. Never ran an avant but I can make the giant dance

    Stupid stitches-Cut resistant gloves?

    I buy these cheap bar covers on Amazon, drill a hole near the bottom and tie a small loop of bungee cord through the hole. Wrap and hook it on the hook when saw is not in use, pull it off and hook it to my caritool on saddle when cutting. When that hole tears out on the cover I’ll drill another...
