That would be a classy ride from cutting grass... but I don't think it would work well in tight res areas. I think it would be great with a brush hog type attachment on the front mowing down overgrown hillsides. It looks like the perfect machine for a gentleman farmer.

Matt sounds like you understand what we're are all about

Yes and no.

They changed the transition chute which was causing a lot of rechipping, that made a big difference.

The others problem is they made the drum housing too large so there is extra dead space behind the drum. They have not and will not fix that.
so we have a chipper that throws chips ok, not great, but we are more they happy width what it does on the infeed side of the machine. Who knows what you would get if u ordered a new one, every 790 I have seen is different

I believe a guy like marquis bought all that stuff and i know how he did it.

same thing i did at one point in my life i said i wanna go bigger than the average guy with this and went to the bank and got a loan tell me if im right marquis?

im doing the same thing right now as soon as i can get the next piece to the puzzle i buy it. as long as im not going to bankrupt myself

i also have the work load to justify it. i started out with a 1989 dodge dump and a bc1250 i got for 5500.00

For that kind of finance it takes mucho collateral but yeah i get it i started with 85 f350.

OMG dave I hope hes's not the regular operator , because if I was standing on my spikes watching him gracefully land that log I will be throwing whatever is loose on my belt at the both of you , and why are you hanging it for so long on the side of the truck if that choker spit and it came crashing down to the bed how much money would be making on that" duck" , its like watching paint dry ....I actually thought the truck ran outta fuel or something painful .....

Yeah it so boring making thousands of dollars with a crane and big bucket. You will never know Mrs. Holdin' weed as you just a $15 per hour employee with no vids to show and no equipment to play with just like 101 for Dummies.

Made the usual $2k on a crane/big bucket td today. HO treated us like Rock Stars. Whatdja make? $120 less taxes and 101 for dummies made a few hun on his landscaping job. Tossed his borderline brain dead tagalong a 50 spot bone haha. Jealousy is an ugly emotion.

(

BTW 101/dummy....my EMPLOYEE, not a crane op, is doing great learning to run the crane while I am climbing or picking and has been opping this and the last one for a couple of years now and doing great. For the less observant, like 101 (or LOL if you will)/dummy, there was a pinoak blocking view between the op and the bed and we was booming over a sidewalk and next to a tight busy road. We in no huge rush. We finished that 100' plus hack, loaded and drove away and did stump in less than 4 hours. ouch chaaaaching.....either you fat as s or you fat head make that kinda change? Chump change for chumps I submit is your awards lol.

Unlike you I don't like talking bout money, I gotta admit though i'm proud to say I make twice that an hr. I would love to know what you pay your only employee. Don't lie cause I know you are wicked cheap, you brag everyday what you pull in but run some of the oldest equip iv'e seen on this site.
You have been in the biz for 40 years, I got a loooooong time to meet and exceed what you have pieced together over the years.

I would be willing to bet you don't make $30. per hour. What is your boss/daddy's company name? If you are reluctant to talk about it (lol) I bet he wouldn't be. My gm likely makes more per week than you and deservedly so.

I am not cheap but buy classy pre owned stuff (besides a brand new one ton Silverado, brand new $26k mini skid, brand new 18k worth of Timberwolf splitter and conveyer, and just bought a brand new mini tracked stumper etc etc).

As for the crane, ask dbl abot it, as he pm'd me and said he is familiar with my new used crano and a client of his had him look at my crane just before I bought it but didn't pull the trigger in time and it is a great crane. If you buy old stuff smart you can have way more than if you are buying everything new. But you ain't smart and just a $ per hour flunkie.

BTW what is your screen name on Tbuzz? You a lurker?
