    Makes my skin crawl listening to the guy in the background. Can't imagine the 100 mile plus helicopter ride to the hospital.

    upgrade rayco 1625 to 1635 ?

    Our rg90 goes in a 36 inch gate no problem, we almost never have dual wheels on. Never seen a place the old 252 could go that the rg90 cant go. I say get a much bigger machine or stay with the old. Difference in productivity would not justify the large upgrade cost to just one size up.

    Recommend a 70-80HP stump grinder

    We picked up a rayco rg90 and love it. A stump that would take a day with the old 252 now takes 30-45 minutes. Its a beast.

    Just cleaned out this oak 2 weeks ago. comments?

    not so fast Not so in some counties in Florida! You will get a paper asking for a mandatory 500 dollar donation in some parts. It is a clear liontailing and happens ALL the time in this area. Even if it is the wrong way to take care of a tree it would still qualify as a decent trim after...

    Ritchie brothers auction

    When you buy at an auction you know that you are taking a risk at what you are buying and that is why you have to price items accordingly. I buy stuff at auctions but only pay a fraction of what I would have paid somewhere else or I dont buy anything.

    Trying to secure state , city and county contracts

    LOL....Not far from the truth. They ussualy have a bunch of things like small business, locally owned or women owned that gives you extra points in the bidding. From my experience it can be a very rigged process. Peoples bid gets disqualified for filling out a page wrong or other silly stuff...
