this is me lusting after that brush grapple. but my tractor doesnt have an extra hydraulic circuit.
Mine didn't either. I added a 3rd SCV after I got the tractor. But as Eric said you can get those Fasse multiplier valves too. Thats what I started with until I found the 3rd SCV kit cheap on Epay.
Thats an "02' 3500. A van IMO is just a cheap truck that allows you to store all your stuff dry and more secure. I bought that new for about 1/2 that of a 1ton PU and outside of the fact I can't put a GN in it its the same. It has served me well.
Its a 6x10 Moritz. I got that size for 2 reasons. First I wanted to be able to maybe haul it behind the tractor in some tight places and second its not hard make those real heavy especially with dirt/gravel ect. The first load in that dumper was dirt. A couple of scopes from a BH and it weighed 12K. If I had bought the larger one I could never have used its capacity anyway unless it was mulch or firewood. That one with the side boards will haul a loose cord throwed in.
I think Moritz is top shelf in dump trailers. They are sturdily constructed, seem sealed throughout before paint so you won't see the rust streaks all over and has scissors lift. It has never failed to easily lift a load.
