Week long project. They're taking all the big Norway maples out and replanting with native species. We've trucked about 100 yards of chips out and have to haul around 30 cords of logs.

Went to the PJ trailer dealer today, looking to order a dump trailer to help get the wood out. 16 ft with 4 ft high sides. triple 7000 lb axles , goose neck. With upgraded ram. cross members and tires. they would have to build it and would take about 6 weeks, so they say. 21000 gvw, trailer weight about 5500 lbs. About $12000,00. Cheaper then a dump truck and less on dmv fees every year and taxes. Anyone else use a dump trailer ?
 
That would be nice to have but bigger $$ then the trailer. A grapple truck would suet my needs better then the trailer but that would Be REAL big for the one i want. We do a lot of big clean outs for a garden center with the bobcat and then they comes in and plant when we are done. so the trailer would be good for that and the wood from removals. Now we have to take the tops off the chipper truck with the crane every time we do a clean out or load a lot of wood. Not very time efficient Trying to buy the best thing for all jobs, and not spend money i dont have.
 
Doing a little trimming today, only took 2 of us 3.5 hrs to trim the bottom off 24 trees in this warehouse parking lot. This is why I need a big dump trailer. Tops are off the chip truck for a clean out I have to do.

Yea, but it's the only one I have. Biggest limb was about 3 inch but 12 + foot long. They hadent been trimmed in years, if ever. The mower guys could not get under them to mow.
