As crazy as people are about those ms200t you should be able to get a ar15. They have come back down to pre sandy hook prices.

I only chipped into my bucket twice this year. Usually all it hauls is about 40 sheets of plywood, some 4*4 dunnage, and a wood dolly. I used to do like Jared and load the wood in the bucket but that changed with the big chipper. Very rarely do I have a small enough amount of wood left that the little box on a forestry would be any benefit. I either chip everything or there is enough left to justify making a trip with the log truck.

Yeah salt sucks! I got both my chippers, 4 trailers and trucks known rust sprayed. I bought it new in July, 2013 s650tx. They made a few changes/upgrades from last years model, it may be small but it's mighty and a huge back saver ! I love it! Don't get to run it much as a few of my guys have taken a liking to it!

@ Blakes. Yes, but you are rolling big now days! Good to see BTW. Me, I still, ittybity! Like I said, waiting on the bug, if it hits big time, then I will go buy a bunch of stuff again and go after it. It not, I am outty! I'll park my junk, wait for the easy one's to do on the weekends and I'll go get a job delivering pizzas!

I don't put **** it mine because it's a lain to get in and out of my wood spot . But in the past I've put a lot of tree into the bucket box , like 2 cord of a lot of tree . A motivated stacker can load that to the gills .

You gotta cut a lot of trees to be big . That's why all the new guys go big then get tired and stay iddy biddy . I say 3 long days a week of work , long like 10/12 hour days .

No if your gonna load it with the mini well you can't put **** in there . You have to physically be a active part as the operator is stacking it , fill all the way to the from and ceiling , I put 2 white pine in mine , every bit of 70 fters , I had it so tight , when I dumped it it slid real slow and then basically broke loose and shot the truck ahead about 5ft , now that is a load

I have loaded my like that before too. Had two guys in mine while I lifted pieces into the back with the mini. It was so full I was scared It was gonna fall out the back on the way home. Very top heavy. I Did go around a corner a little to fast and it felt like I was on two wheels.

Lol. Yeah, a big chipper changes all of that ******** too. If you can get all that little **** chipped up you can make stacks at the back of the truck with the mini then shove them forward with the next piece. Even a nice 250 like Mds has allows for much easier mechanical loading of the wood.

It's not that I'm big time now. I would just rather pay for equipment than employees. Lol. Can't get a very productive worker for the grand or so a month that my chipper costs me.

We have two altec 75' the older one which is a 2006 won't lift anything over 250 lbs and the new does it no problem but if you ask me the Terex is a better unit , more stable, smoother hydraulics also the Terex is more nimble as far as getting into the canopies

I try and limp along with the equipment I have as best I can. Lol.

That sounds almost as painful as watching you paint your equipment. Lol

Your setup is optimum for making money , no slouch ! I just don't need all the chip capacity , all my spots are free and close . Even pine wood free ! Most guys here though run big chip trucks I choose to run 2 smaller trucks that's all

Tired, yes, I would say I am tired,LOL. But, I like where I am at right now. I don't feel that I am chained down like before. All the worries I had, guys, clients, equipment,payments, WEATHER! Now, if I don't feel like going out, I don't. Can park it all and walk if I found something better, become a weekend warrior. Even if I don't go big tho, I still want a 75ftr, just cause...........there cool! We are preparing for it tho,for if it does hit.
