    Thanks Chris. Yeah I hope to keep this setup together for another 10-15 yrs. Up to a few months ago I had a business direction to buy a Gehl loader from Carl, kind of speed up things with my jobs. But now have since accepted a instructor positon with an arborist training company on a casual...

    Stump Grinders

    Thanks Oldmill, Years ago before I built this trailer unit I got some inspiration when I was in Austria as I was watching a bricklayer repairing a cobblestone street all by himself. He was carrying his tools and then the bricks with this little 4 wheel drive power wheel barrow. I was quite...

    Stump Grinders

    I've had good service with Greenteeth on my 252 grinder, probably won't switch from them any time soon. But how about that new Bandit 2550XP grinder with 44hp Kubota diesel, 4x4, blade and hydro drive cutter wheel all at 35" wide? Makes my 252 look like a toy. If I'm upgrading that's what I'm...
