Which brand for new chip truck?

A nice thing about some 4x4's.... With manual hubs unlocked and put it in 4 lo giving you a really low gear to crawl around with. Nice backing up hills on pavement with a chipper or trailer

so you can fit all your equipment, chips, logs, and stump grindings on 2 vehicles and trailer at one time?

I found with removals one is going to do 2 or more trips anyways till everything is cleaned up, dumped, and equipment brought back. Now I just don't need to go back for the mini, and I always have it. Next step is to add a 48" bucket holder under the platform so that too is always on the truck. I also want to figure out a way to carry a stumper 220, so I can do small stumps with that.

I've seen small stump grinders on the front! Like the way some scooter/ small motorcycle carriers are. Maybe make a sweet extended bumper with platform/ ramp and with a winch inside?

some kind of bumper mount would probably work. For the style I want to get, I don't need much room

I know this is turning into a derail, but this is how we roll. Truck, mini, 30hp stump attachment and chipper ( now a 90 xp ). Only downside is you need a local dump site, but it works out good for us.

I've got a 5500 and aside from some minor issues I've been very happy.
