Whats the best way of starting out small or big. Thinking small for now like a 3/4 ton chip truck and a 6 or 8'' chipper for small jobs like pruning and small take-downs 20-25'' or less. I have 10yrs exp. and Tree expert lic. I plan on staying with the company I work for, I just want something on the side on the weekends.

Thanks,
Any help will do.:help:

In my opinion? an older chuck n duck chipper will do more than a little 9" chipper for alot less money. a used Asplundh chip truck would be a good start also. Cheap to get into and has better image than a pickup.

stay small, less is more.
