    Custom Dump Trailer for sale - SOLD

    Same setup, but heavier axles, shorter sides, and a touch longer. This is a heavy trailer, if you have a large truck a bumper pull wouldnt be a problem, but I prefer the goosenecks for better weight management.

    Smallest chipper that is practical to feed with mini

    I had a Bandit 1090xp 12" machine. I would not have wanted anything smaller. It did have pins to lock the feed table, and had a option to apply hydraulic down pressure. It worked well enough..

    Grapple truck

    Forget about slicing and dicing....that is what the grapple is for. We cut the large crotches, and cut our brush in 10 ft lengths, and then just compact it with the grapple. If you ever get the chance to work with one you will see what I mean. Yes we do have to take loads out, but that is just...

    Grapple truck

    As far as dump sites go, have you ever thought about your local resorts? I put an ad on Craigslist stating that I was looking for dump sites, even offering a per load fee, and a local resort said that i could dump truckloads of brush and logs there anytime and they would cut the firewood out of...

    Grapple truck

    Well, Im not sure I understand your question...we had a chipper for a number of years before we bought a grapple truck. Here is my rationale - a large chip truck is still over cdl, and with the combo of a truck and large chipper you are well on your way towards a grapple truck purchase...

    Using Jobber switching to QuickBooks Online?

    We use Jobber, and quickbooks desktop. I just do lump sum deposits into Quickbooks, and keep all my client records in Jobber. That has worked well for us for a number of years.

    Angie's List: Getting "Certified" worth it? And any help/insight on this, really!

    My advice would be to get a Google business profile, and a Facebook business profile - they are both free. It is also free to post content in both places. You also have the opportunity to advertise on both of them, and you can set your budget. Do good work, post pictures, ask for reviews, ask...

    Angie's List: Getting "Certified" worth it? And any help/insight on this, really!

    In my opinion lead service companies tilt everything too much toward them, and they are in it to make money. If you can play the system and they are well known in your area it will work. But as you get busier and your response and lead time gets longer you will lose jobs to those that can get...

    Tree Work Estimator

    Those of us who are TRAQ certified know how the form looks to assign tree risk...you start at the top and the form guides you through all of the options and you finish up with a risk rating. I have always thought it would be cool to make a digital form like that for bids - it would be a...

    What's your chipping process? (Moving Brush)

    The person you referenced that had a chip burner was me. I thought the idea was super cool...The reality was a bit different - those stoves burn super hot as they burn the methane gas off of the green chips. The temp was a little hard to regulate, and it always needs an outlet for the heat...

    What's your chipping process? (Moving Brush)

    OK here it is...First a disclaimer, I am not as experienced or nearly as big of an operator as some on here. We are a one crew operation, and instead of expanding to multiple crews as we grew, we focused on honing our skills and being more efficient. That led to trying different equipment, and...

    Lift for crane removals.

    I currently run a Nifty SD64, It works great in our market but then we dont have the tall trees you have. I love the ground speed and the simplicity of the unit. If I would get a taller unit I would probably get a Dino, they are set up very similar and have a 90' version. I have demoed the...

    What's your chipping process? (Moving Brush)

    I would like to reply to this, but it is off the OP topic and will continue to derail the thread. Some points I agree, some I do not agree.

    What's your chipping process? (Moving Brush)

    The best wood waste program for me is not having a chipper! Then we can cut everything to 8' lengths as soon as it is down, forward it to the a brush pile by the road with a mini loader, and pick it up with the grapple truck at the end of the job. It allows the crew to work ahead of the truck...

    Vehicle gear transport pic thread

    Here is a bit of feedback on that - I have a bed-slide in my 6.5' half ton bed, its super nice but does cut into your bed space. It is just my bid truck, what I can haul on it is a foldup ladder, 2 ropes, 2 saws, spurs, chaps, 1 rake and 2 small pole saws. There would be room for maybe another...

    Rigguy cable systems

    Wedge Grips have failed for us several times. After switching to Rigguy we have not had any more issues. I like the simplicity of the Rigguys, and there is no chance they can fail unless the center strand of your cable is brittle and would break for some reason.
