Where to look for grapple truck??

treecare123 · Mar 21, 2021

Looking for grapple truck has been hard to find. I watch Richie brother, Proxibid, Ironplanet,.
Can anyone recommend better auction sites to look at or a good company to buy used.

Where have you had a good experience at?

Also looking for chipper truck 14 to 16 ft.

Thank you for your time.

I have found a good selection of equipment on TreeTrader.com. Also check out TnT Magazine. (https://www.truckntrailer.com/). I’ve found both seem to have a decent selection most of the time.

Anyone know what happened to tree trader? It’s like the site was bought up and merged with commercial truck trader or something. Now they have like thirty pages of bucket trucks and maybe only half a page of actual tree purpose bucket trucks. It used to be almost exclusively tree trucks. They used to have a “log loaders“ section and now they have just a “knuckle boom crane” section with a couple of grapple trucks in there along with hundreds of knuckle boom cranes that are obviously not meant for tree work.

They cater to the people who pay them. Based on what its cost me to list my truck, the average guy selling a 50/90k tree machine probably cant afford what they are charging. It's sand hills media. They own (everything)trader and auctiontime

The whole layout of the site changed though like maybe 6 months ago and it happened all at once. It just kinda suck it’s the only place I really liked browsing that was strictly tree stuff
