    Ground protection mats?

    Smooth side makes for easier dragging, stacking, and a low friction turn spot for equipment or trucks. These have a stake hole in each corner for hills.

    Ground protection mats?

    https://www.sandhillplastics.com/product/access-mat/ I bought 10 of these 2 years ago and they have been great, super fast shipping too. I really like having 1 smooth side and pre-cut handles like these.

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

    This is what I do now too! Great play call.

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

    Thanks for posting this, I bought a 2021 MT100 new. It has been a strong and reliable machine, I always thought it was able to do more than the rated 1000lb. The vibrations and forward tip have only happened for me when moving really long logs 14+ feet with a lot of water weight. Cheers

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

    It's been great, no regrets. Way cheaper than paying an equivalent number of laborers. It will change your methods for lots of things i.e. parking trailers, moving mulch, pulling out small shrubs. I am now married to my mats, especially during our wet months, but the traction and turning radius...

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

    First piece of equipment I bought was a 2021 Bobcat MT100 w/BMG with their financing. Money maker and game changer for starting a business, very little maintenance needed with a smooth operator. Way cheaper than employees too, always on time, enjoys long hours. Added a Erskine root grapple and...

    Best Spurs

    I bought the ArborAir kit you linked here to upgrade from my 14-year old Klein pole and Caddy pad combination. Really like them so far, the pad design is great and probably the closest modern pad to Caddy's currently available. Buckingham also is releasing ascenders for the Buckalloy (ArborAir)...

    2016 Ford F550 4x4 Diesel w/Southco Chipper Body / Price Reduced to $48k or best offer.

    I got my Class A working for the City of Portland Urban Forestry division. I still have it even though I don't drive anything large anymore. The instructors, test proctors, supervisors, and operators told me that anything driven for commerce towing a trailer rated over 10k is Class A territory...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Thanks for reading my long winded posts. It does seem like the track chipper/shredder concept is catching over here in the states, definitely driven by European manufacturers. I looked at many different options before deciding on Eliet. Kinda like your Hoeflon, I don't think there is a better...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I have definitely pondered a high-lead tether to lower the machine down a steep slope, it isn't as all terrain as the MT100 mini skid. I also installed the factory lifting hooks and I am keeping an eye out for a job where craning the shredder into an enclosed yard makes sense.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    It all starts with the initial visit and quoting. I'll explain my business model and what we offer, it honestly helps me feel out a client's goals for the tree work as well. We try to put the material back into their landscape in a way that works best for them i.e. piling or spreading mulch and...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Downsized from a 2-rig, chipper/dump truck and mini-skid/pickup fleet to a 1-rig set up this year. The goal was to maximize efficiency of my owner/operator business, minimize windshield time, whilst running the whole show out of a garage. We are now running an Eliet Super Prof in conjunction...

    Truck canopy/topper vs tonneau cover

    A contractor canopy with a nice bed-slide tray would be the best option I think. Definitely pricey though and that's one reason I am rocking a tonneau cover. I was quoted for an ARE contractor canopy, minimal options, with a ladder rack and bed slide, total price installed was ~ $9k. I had...
