no but there are used log truck for 15000. a little wrenching, weld sides on it, give it some tlc, and you have a setup that kicks a chippers butt, uses less fuel, less man hours, less maintenance, less insurance, no cutting disk or splitting firewood on removals, and less wear and tear on the body. do your homework grapple trucks are where its at.
Grapple trucks are far more community friendly in terms of noise among other important things.
Saw my first commercial tree grapple operation in LA working briefly for Allied Tree in the late 70's. Did all the street trees in the city of Garden Grove with nary a chipper in sight or hearing!
Mechanized caint be beat!

A grapple truck wouldnt work in my market.
Our infrastructure is condensed and very old. It would be a nightmare to navigate all of the low bridges and tight places we need to go. Plus our disposal fees would ve astronomical.

It costs $140 to dump a 20yd. Grapple truck here, I have a list of folks that want wood chips....free to dump. I also leave a lot of chips for the customer also, but in the right situation, you can't beat a grapple.
If I've learned anything in 20 yrs. Diversity is a must!!

Knowing your market and situation.
This is the key. I am looking to get a grapple truck but I have the site and ability to dispose of the material cost effectively. I still would not give up my cjipper though. A small prune or removal would make more sense to use a chipper.
