finally got this truck finished and back to work this morning
Perfect for little load's! :msp_tongue:
Jeff :msp_thumbup:
That truck would be full and on the road after 45 minutes if chipping.
But, If it is part of a fleet of truck's that are used on certain job's, (very nice), .
Jeff
I'm guessing that truck is probably at least 25 yards, and under CDL (?).. pretty sweet if you ask me!
I am guessing 10, maybe 12 if you get a couple of fatties jumping on it.
But yeah, Like I said, ,,nice truck.

Yep, this ones going to be good, all wood stays, we are chipping in the woods as well! It's a rural setting. Plus the owner was told any other trees he wants removed he gets! He has unmimited coverage on tree work! I'm liking this job already! Plus have a few island jobs on Thursday, everything stays of course!:msp_tongue:
Well, if its 14 x 6' tall, it should be about 25 yards.. according to the major manufacturers specs (what I'm going by).
But yeah, a couple of fat guys pouncing the chips down could increase capacity a bit, no doubt! :msp_tongue:

under cdl?.. at least that's how it's registered.. :smile2: the original box was an arbortech 12 yard and we added about 20in of steel. I'm guessing 16 -18 yards maybe? I'll have to get in there and measure to get an accurate number
Oh, my bad yo! For some reason, I thought you said it was a 14' body..

14' x 8' x 72" =8064 / 324 = 24.88cyrd - L box
Yea when using the big chippers in Colorado, we filled the 16 ft high tops up pretty quick on crane picks and they were 33 cyrds with no L box, I feel good getting a medium removal in my fuso it holds more but will not pull it actually need to put a shorter real tree box on it have a old Trees Inc. box sitting at my friends with plans on putting it on, planed on putting wheel chir lift pistons on the removable top to rais for side loadin and over loading, but will come back down to fit in alleys, so far just keep the dry box on thereView attachment 239038View attachment 239039 some times I have to limp to yard to get rid of chipper to get on the hwy,

12 ft x 8 x 72 / 324 = 21.3 - about 2-3 yrds for L- box 18.33 edit

where did you get it from? i gotta get something under CDL sooner or later. The biggest problem i run into everyday is CDL drivers. I usually have to move two trucks to a job site.
i checked out your website. get that thing full of info. they are goldmines. We score a lot of jobs because of the site. people go on their and see you tearing down a tree with your crane. or even better a video. and they know you can handle it.
when you do an estimate in your car they have no idea what your gonna show up with sometimes. thats where i tell them to go to the website.

it's a 14 ft box, the L shape throws me off. If I had to guess I would say 17 ish.. I'll measure tomorrow and figure it out

Bought it from Sagon trucks in Georgia, no rust..
Just started working on the website, I just don't have time.. Might have to hire someone to get it up and running.

They figured in the L shape. Next minus the volume for the rear polesaw box and the fact you don't fill them 100%.......mmmmmm... I gonna guess..........12.5 yds bob......:taped:
