I know a few guys who bought grapple saw trucks all had spiderifts before. They said the grapple saw truck was the game changer and they wont go back. 1 guy said what would u charge for that tree i said 3k he said we would have in in the street in an hour! I have a truck to put one on and...

I'm 40 and trees are tuff but as times gone on the job has gotten easier and I've got harder. Office job people don't get it the guys my age are soft and weak. No thanks I made the right call. When I'm older I can just run 1 machine it's no work at all. Mini skid- grapple loader truck are not...

I have a 89 f800 7.8 diesel. Bucket finally getting some leaks where I either have to scrap the boom and put a different body on or re line whole thing:( it's a great truck drives like a car super reliable. It may get a hook lift. Mine has heavy duty two bucket winch power line boom. Which I...

I rented the 19xpc last year for a month on a big job. Toro dingo and it filled my truck in about 25min. Really loved the machine. Ate some fuel but not bad and the cheap repair cost really makes it an attractive machine. I would have bought it but got a grapple truck.

Removed 9 large trees at a school in a week and then 1 large willow so rotten the 660 would barely pull thru wood was turning into mud. Really nice grappling out the debris don't miss chipping and every big job is getting done quicker and almost no effort.

You need a tilt deck low boy to haul all that in 1 trip. Really not that expensive when your comparing it to multiple nice trailers trucks drivers and time.

Had a bmg rake for 6 years its incredible. I rarely hand rake anymore. Bmg then big blower. It does best on the toughest debris which is awesome.

The cmc 72 was 100 last year. I have heard very few complaints about the platform basket i may get that when i do buy.

When the back of the chip truck is getting loaded with tools but i still got a pile of scrap to load. I dont want 2 barrels of debris on my saws.

Ginko?

Thanks

How do you like that teleboom wheel loader. Considering a gehl for snow and the occasional tree job.

When i looked at them they had multiple versions not just the one that the bmg grapple grabs. They have a fork lift one. Also i have called them and so have several people its a small business and they can fab any kind of mount you need. I was going to get a euro global mount for grapple to...

I have 3. A bmg broom. A stihl combi tool with highest hp head. And just bought a kubota rtv1100 c with power broom for snow but will take it out on some big jobs. The stihl is hard to use period it grips so hard it pushes me and i am large. Its even hard to use for snow weighs like a 660-880...

I am not going to claim to know how its moving thru my truck. I know its not flowing thru boom while sitting. Awhile ago i lifted up 10ft on first job blew a line and was coated w oil. I let the truck idle w pto on 10+ min every job. It was hot. No way it wasnt max operating temp.

My 89 altec takes a bit to warm up but after that no. If i let it idle awhile with pto on it will warm. Really does not have a large tank actually.

I own the bmg broom. It is incredible. Had it 5 years and it needs the bolts tightened. On big removals it saves hours. One job we estimated it saved 10 man hours raking. The best part is the thing catches the worst nastiest junk that is the hardest to get with a rake or pick up by hand. When it...

My 90xp started slowing the infeed the lever seemed fine just loosing power. And like the poster above it was the infeed handle valve its a off the shelf wood spitter valve check that first its cheap. Actually i have replaced it 2x. It seems like a hyd pump failure.

Terry Hughes Tree service in Omaha has a lot of gear if you want something a little different they can order it. They have some high end saddles which I have to get one soon. I did however go to vermeer recently to get a large pulley block Terry didnt have.

Mine is a rear mount utility am755 63k miles auto I love it the utility box is dam tough and the rear of the truck especially if compared to a front mount where your working around the hood. The best part is backing up to a fence and doing a removal in a back yard 1 time I removed 3 large maples...
