Dump Trailers I came close to buying one too but got a pretty good deal on a 1995 F-800 dump truck for 10K and 134K miles. Make sure you get 10K axles, and make certain the hydraulics can lift the load. I had one priced with a grapple on it but that was 18K. Trailer weight is another factor...

PTO's pdq is correct, need to periodically engage the slip the clutch or when you do hit something that won't move, you will tear up the drive. I keep the front end loader on with pallet forks or a tooth bucketfor weight distribution when the stumper is on the back. I have a 2nd set of...

PTO Stump Grinders I started off with a woods/stumpbuster (the woods models are made by someone else) and it did not last. It was matched up to a NW TCA 55 Converted to a Miller PRO 75T and have not had any problems since then. It is a beast. The guy at Miller used to be a Vermeer design...

skid grinders miller makes them for skid steers too but i have not used them, i imagine you would need something with high flow to start.

PTO Stump Grinders I am having great sucess with the Miller brand PTO stump grinder mounted on my New Holland 55 HP turbo diesel engine. I started off using a cheaper brand that was just horrible. Did some more research and this guy who makes them in Indianapolis used to be a design engineer...

Just bought a 1995 F-800, 5.9 CTD, manual with 16 foot dump bed, hydrulic brakes, about 140K on it. It was reasonably priced and is not my main vehicle and will be using to haul logs/debris only locally. Any problems/concerns you guys might have experienced witht his brand/model as i have not...

My new Leo 23 GT My only complaint so far is that when I ran it through a trail in the woods to get to a removal job, the dips in the trail caused it to bottom out. When I looked underneath, I saw a protruding pressure guage and hydraulic lines in the back. Had a I ran over a protruding rock...

Insurance Is Treesure licensed in the US state where you do business? Is the policy that is being sold written on a standard comprehensive general liability (CGL) policy? This affords alot more broader coverage as opposed to policies written to the benefit of the carrier, ie. less broader...

Log Loading Nice trailer, what do you use to get the logs on the trrailer? What length, brand, gvw tailer rating do you use behind that pick up? I'm looking at different options right now to get customers logs out

Pallet Wrapping We have been experimenting with pallets too, using shrink wrap to keep things together, works well going up/down driveways with the load on pallet forks too when we make local deliveries (we are out in the country, no big deal to run a tractor on the roads around here). We might...

Insurance Be very careful when doing price comparisons as there can be remarkable coverage discrepancies. The best liability policy will be written on a Comprehensvice General Liability (known as a CGL "form") which provides much broader coverage than other policies issued from...

Yellow Page Screw Up I placed an ad earlier this year before the new book comes out in October (soon). Never got a bill or confirmation and became concerned. Called them up 3 weeks ago and I was never in the system even after placing ads under "Arborist", Tree Care and Landscaping. I was...

Spider Lift Pro/Cons I put a deposit down on a 23GT. I have found everyone's comments very helpful as I want to learn from the "field" as much as possible. I went to see one in Raleigh, NC for two days and the guy down there is still happy with his. His only complaint to date is having to press...
