    Every state is supposed to go off placarded gvw the rule was federally changed a few years ago.... tn might not enforce it until you find the one cop who don't like you or you get in an accident.... I tried looking up the licensing classes in TN but it is VERY poorly described on your dmv...

    What's wrong with this picture ? MORBARK 700HDX

    Just saying last year we beat the living Fkkkk out out of a ditch witch sk1050 same style grapple and didn't bent the arms..... bent the grapple a bit yes but nothing crazy. And we would constantly grab the ends of log/brush and lift long lengths so tons of twist on the grapple. Sent from my...

    Check the mounting plate almost seems like you lost a bushing or an entire mounting bolt. Are the arms themselves bent? Or is it in the plate? Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    The problem is it looks healed because the outer little bit of tree started creating wound wood that contacted the other side and it may appear "healed" but in reality 95% of the original wood is not fused back together. You can get multiple layers of wound wood that may over time cover over the...

    It can go both ways. If it's something small a GC can budget 5k or 10k if it's a really large project they need quotes just like a home builder would get a quote from all the trades b4 quoting the home owner. If a construction company is not an expert in trees and lets say you provide a 100k...

    The one in the video u are referencing is one model larger then the one he purchased. He was demoing the 5035 but it was to heavy to transport without a semi the 5030 just barely squeaks by on a triaxle trailer he pulls behind a quad axle dump truck. Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk

    I'm not sure about every state but in illinois and Wisconsin you are aloud to drive construction equipment on the roads (bobcats/front end loaders) so this would fall in that category. Short distances the machine is driven long distances it is hauled on a triaxle trailer the machine comes in at...

    Don't even waste your time, get a merlo! It's by far one of the best contraptions to hit the market for trees. This tree only took a hour and 10 mins to from first cut to last piece chipped. That is a 3500 pound piece being cut. That machine took pieces way bigger then I would have ever...

    whadja do today?

    Just don't buy a toro! Lol seriously tho by far the worst option. We ran a sk1050 this year and it has its place but def struggles a bit on big wood, forks help alot vs grapple on biggest stuff. We had a root grapple and it has its place but I feel you can do a lot more with the dangle. Since...

    1998 GMC topkick bucket truck

    How much does he want for the truck? Go over every pivot point on the boom have somebody aggressively run the lower controls and watch for movement in the pins. With the lower boom stood up verticle work it back and forth loading the turntable look for excessive movement. Check boom near bucket...

    What r the temps like by you? Does it warm up enough to melt some in the afternoon sun or does it stay frozen? Previously what I've done if there is too much snow to get the bucket in (2 wheel drive) id grab a snow blower when we had a easy day and I could break away, go around and just clear my...
