Cool looking rig matt! does seem like will be pretty damn versatile. Do you think you'll use the bucket, or the manual extentions much?

Congrats!

Manual extensions yes because they keep the material away from the hydraulics thier is all kinds of connectors and.#### on the end of it that would be easy to.smash or bend. The bucket probably not I just bought it just encased because everything comes from overseas not like you can just run down the street and pick one up.

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen! What's max load radius and weight?

It will handle 7 ton pretty well all the way down and out it will still do like 1800

That's a chipbox on there, right? What's the capacity? Removable tops I presume. Do you have enough boom to feed the chipper while hooked to the truck?
Holy crap, that's nasty sounding! I hadn't even thought of it myself.. kinda like Ritchie Rich goes treeworker!

Ya I can feed it while hooked to the truck as far as compacity I'm not 100% sure its 14 foot long. The box has the re enforced sides inside and out to keep logs from bending it all up. And you can lift the roof off.

It's remote controlled so he can stand right there at the chipper and watch the show. Pretty bad ass if you ask me. It would be the absolute #### for a row of smaller trees, grapple it high, cut at the stump and shove into the chipper. One guy does it all. Granted, that's best case scenario.

Remote has around a 600 yard range you can fully operate the truck by remote also. Turn on off engage pto idle up and down.
