    way out Thats a ways away from me. Just out of curiosity...what are you charging for jobs out there? I know from reading posts on this site that they are different methods for pricing out jobs. Basically i am just measuring the stump across the top....if its like 30 inches for example....90...

    Rayco RG-50

    Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but..... I have been unsuccesful in finding a used RG-50. I am looking for a good used piece with low hours. I am willing to pay what it is worth, and willing to travel or make arrangements for shipping. It just seems like they are few and...
