When we do removals, all the material is loaded in the grapple truck. We pull the marketable logs out of the load at our site then empty the rest at the mulch yard down the road. We then invite timber buyers to our yard to give us bids on the logs every few weeks/month or so. Once we have the...

Thanks Deevo, We buy the Sena's on Amazon and put them into our helmets in house. They work great!
Now I wear my hard hat even when I mow my grass so that I can listen to pandora through the bluetooth.

This truck has a 21 foot floor. I'm certian of the exact other measurements off the top of my head but the floor is about 8 feet inside width, walls take the height to the height of the Prentice (13' 2").
We have three trucks like this, and this is the lightest one. It's never caused issues for us in the past. All three of these trucks way less than an our crane. If you have sensitive pavement, we use a Gehl or mini loader to forward material to the street.
Thanks for the question Cory,
I am building my new generation of trucks a little bit larger. This one is 60 cubic yards and my oldest truck. The last 2 I have built are 75 and 80 yards. For my business the extra 15-20 yards of capacity makes a difference. This Pete is a complete, original...

You may consider trading this in if you are selling for tax reasons. Under IRS section 1031 "Like Kind Exchange" you won't have to pay income tax on the proceeds of the sale. Just a thought, good luck!
