    So I fell in love with the trade, saved 20K, what to buy first?

    So many things factor into what equipment you need. What kind of trees you have in your area, who can you use as sub contractors to take care of things like logs and stumps, and what is available in the area to rent. What type of work are you going to try and go after? Large removals, small...

    Education, start with some books (lots of threads on here about which to choose) and Gerry Beranek's video set The Working Climber. http://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=2049&item=1286

    A sad loss.

    Sad to hear. He was only about a 40 min drive from me too. Always wanted to go meet up with him but never got around to it.

    Hydraulic Sweeper

    No sure, but best guess is 300 to 400. I could be way off. Mine does spin much slower than most that are intended for snow removal and road way sweeping. Not by design but just dumb luck.

    Most 7x14 dump trailers are going to weigh around 4k.

    Ground Damage

    A small pitch fork pops out all but the largest of craters. The divots for the most part are just compacted soil. Insert fork and loosen up the soil underneath, you can't even tell where the divot was at.

    Lots of manufactures use misleading or fudged specs. Do a little reading on tractor forums about Mahindra's and stay clear of those piles.

    It's not the Tri axle it's the gross weight rating that counts.

    As far as I know you need a cdl in any state when over 26k lbs combined if the trailer is over 10k. Only exceptions are for RV's. And since your doing work for profit it's also considered commercial.

    Lots of hydro leaks at the valves, clutch smoked with less than 50 hrs on it, hydraulic cylinders were leaking, 4 starters in one of them, and i'm sure lots more that I can't remember. They all sold them before they were out of warranty. Had almost no time on them because the lived at the...

    Be carefull with Mahindra's. I know 3 people who bought new ones and had nothing but problems with them. The only none major brand I would consider would be an LS or a Kioti.

    Turning radius is number one. I had a tractor, 4100 John Deere. Worked well but the mini I have now is way better and doesn't take up the whole trailer.

    A lot also has do with how much mechanical knowledge and time for maintenance one has. If you don't have the time or place to keep up or take care of a breakdown on an older truck sometimes taking it into a shop will cost you a small fortune. If I would have taken in the older vehicles I've...

    SOLD - Gecko Carbon Fiber Climbers

    Completely understand! I just can't justify spending that kind of money on a set similar to what I have already. $350 is a deal, I just can't justify it.
