Best two man setup I’ve seen to date, is a bucket truck and an f550 pulling a 24 foot dump trailer, in the dump trailer is a full size skidsteer, with grapple and stump grinder attachment, the dump trailer can hold tons of wood if you do logs last, and you’re not dumping 10 times a day, rural Minnesota with free dumps, that’s the best way. When you need to use the lift you just use a 1 ton to pull the lift on a trailer, and the f550 with the same setup as mentioned before. 2 truck, 2 man system.

That log was a mouthful but the chipper took it just fine. Also your stump grinder chews up the stumps great. Nice equipment. Glad you are doing so well.

@gr1zlybear 8 күн бұрын

a cap on that dump would make a monster chip truck. My vote would be dump pulls the chipper, bucket truck pulls the equipment trailer, make a second trip to come back for logs. Honestly, I see a new rearmount bucket truck with an elevator and no chip box in your future! Keep up the good work Jake!

There is no philosophical problem with this at all. Hire an accountant. Do your depreciation right. Section 179 deduction may help. Capitalize the cost of equipment and depreciate it over its useful life. Do your accounting folks, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using $300k of equipment on a job that pays $2,500, you just need to do lots of $2,500 jobs over time. 👍

A 20’ or 22’ tilt deck trailer should have enough room to haul both the avant and the stump grinder. You could also use it to haul a track lift if you get one in the future. Stay safe out there.

The more equipment you have the more options you will have . Transportation of equipment to jobs , work area at site , leaving wood and brush or hauling away . A larger trailer that will haul multiple pieces of equipment , and also haul away wood would be good as long as it will make it into the site .

IMO I don’t think ramping into the dump truck is a good idea, it’s to high/steep and the ramps will be a pain to carry around, running a two truck system and putting the equipment in a trailer might unfortunately be the way to go.

Great video! A quick tip for when operating the Avant, use the attachment point pivot to pick up brash to feed the chipper (right and left on the joystick) rather that dropping the boom up and down, you'll find it much smoother once you get the hang of it. Hope it helps!

Hi loving the videos! Tilting the bed is a good idea if you could make a wedge shaped thing on both sides at the front hinged at the front and that could be lifted at rear of it could help you fill the chips better. The tailgate ramp could be solved by making a sturdy outer box frame with opening chequer plate doors strong enough to support the machines driving over and the whole frame able to be lowered hydraulically. It would give you a safer angle to drive the machines on.

Nice video as always! :-) You could have that "tree-pushing" tool on its own quick couple. It can be handy sometimes. Maybe make a holder for it on some of the trucks so it always is available when needed. You should also have another grapple. There are special kind that works better with branches. They have open ends like nails. So it penetrates the branches easier, leaving less on the ground each time. Greetings from sweden!

I'm a fabricator and I just finished making a removable top for a triaxle dump truck that's owned by a local tree service. You should definitely have a top made for that Chevy! Removable would be an issue for you where you don't have a big machine to take it off the top of the truck... but still, definitely get a chip top on that Chevy. Also, I agree with what others are saying, 20' tilt deck or even a regular trailer with ramps to put stumpy and the avant on. One shot both machines are at the site

@2stroke747 2 күн бұрын

One thing that I would recommend trying is a toro dingo tx1000 wide track with a branch manager grapple. I work for a decently large tree company in Pennsylvania and we have both dingoes and the bobcat equivalent to the avant. The dingoes are much handier than the articulating wheel loader. Especially for feeding the chipper. Dingoes are much faster and more adaptable

Hey man on Zacheus 's channel he uses ramps to put his mini excavator in the back of his dump truck. Actually seems to work well, plus its way heavier than the avant or the stump grinder.

@Guiltyoftreeson couple recommendations, one is a big enough flat bed equipment trailer where you can store your attachments and equipment on, two for the dump truck i would do fold up arms where the pivot up to about a right angle with netting and a notch at the top of them for the dump bed net to set on so you dont have to constantly have to adjust chips, you have 2 dump bodies that can handle everything just not the right trailers just yet in my opinion and also so if you can get an controled chute where its electronicly adjustable personal opinion i think would make life easier to control where the chips go

I think you need a Johnson bar to jack up the logs to get them off the ground so you don't damage the chain. It won't do really big trunks though. I don't know if you have a peavey to roll them. Use a base plate of some kind so it doesn't dig into the ground. No more than 18'' wide. If you can't get an aluminum one, most times any scrap piece of plywood will do.

Spend 1-2 days you're not as busy & put some heightened sides on the dump truck. Then, all you need is a $50 mesh large tarp to wrap the top when chipping / transporting brush.

The ease of dialing in that notch caught my eye, I’m glad you mentioned the square grind on that 661…is that full chisel skip tooth bench grinder? Also, can anybody weigh in on the 660 high idle trigger issue? Should I shim mine to get the high idle working again? P.S. 70’ Forestry bucket is not my favorite at my company…it seems like the rear mount 60’ is more frequently accessing the work and earning it’’s keep. I’m intrigued by the spider lifts which ride on an Isuzu truck chassis -limited tow capacity with lift, but once empty, it could free up another truck to tow & position equipment.
