Thanks!
The truck is an '07 LMM Duramax/Allison 5500 4x4. My chipper is a 1290H with the 110 hp Cat motor.

thanks for the compliment, I was wondering how long it would take someone to notice that piece of wood in front of the tire.........lolThat is a nice clean, compact looking rig RF. All self contained with ladder up above and huge tool box.
Another nice thing about being a treeman....we never have to buy wheel chocks if we don't wanna. LOL
Here is mine
That's a beautiful rig. Unusual, interesting color. Removable top? Classy.
Here are my 3 chip trucks, 2 are double duty, 87 F700, 91 Mack Midliner, and one is full time chip, Assplunger box. The 2 log/chip have removable boxes. They are all old but well maintained. I'll follow this with a pict of my other chipper attached to the chipbox truck.

Treeslayer666, thats some sweet stuff right there. How long have you been in buisiness? Funny thing, I allways loved that color - I almost bought a bucket that color, there is a nice opperation here in ct that has everything that color. I always thought that would be nice on a 67 camaro, very nice.
What is that chipper 1590 or 1890? what motor?
Thanks for the compliment tree MDS. Ive been in buisness since 1999. The chipper is a 1590 with the Deere 140hp, its no joke. I feel its the best chipper in its class.
Was the bucket a International 4700 with a rear mount Aerial lift AL-50?
If so that was my old bucket. I traded it to ALC when I ordered my 2007 Ford F-750 AL-62 rear mount.
Anybody else prefer to buy an older chip truck and make payments in the form of repairs instead of buying a newer or new truck? The reason being that you can probably buy 3 used trucks for the price of a new one. Also instead of the mandatory monthly payments, you can choose to make your payments in the form of repairs when you choose to do the work.
you got that right, old = paid for and cheap cost to run it, I have made very few repairs and keeping it legal isn't as much as some would think, less than $700 a year for insurance, tags, inspection and taxes, throw in an oil change every now and then might make it another $100 a year, everything I have is paid for and can't no one come take it away.Anybody else prefer to buy an older chip truck and make payments in the form of repairs instead of buying a newer or new truck?
