Hah...That looks like an old VW pickup twuck......

Last summer I got my third Toyota 4wd p/u. It came with a receiver hitch attached to the bumper. I bought a pintle hitch, with the not so bright idea of towing my 5700 lb Bandit into a backyard.....Bent the bumper!!! Had to use my old Toyota as I have in the past, which has a simple ball on the bumper....We put the chipper ring on the ball, and tie it down with a mess of rope. The bumper protests but comes out relatively unscathed..used to occasionally do this a bit more easily with my Mitts and Merrill which weighed under 4000 lb....

Reckon I need a full sized p/u, eh?... ya think.....
 
Did a job vista pruning a huge redwood hedge (8 trees) in Saratoga.

The whole job took me 4 days! Way longer if I had to drag/chip...

The customer commented on how nice it looked, but she went pale when I told her how I did it.

She asked if I took a saftey course on machetes!

At one point I bought every machete at Home Depot, funny thing is, they never restocked the big 22" ones. Only the shortties, which lag...

The volkswagon has got me into some pretty tight backyards. that rig I use a lot.
