When I first started working as a steamfitter, I didn't know much. I was sent to work in a chemical plant, in the middle of winter, and it was surreal. Steam blowing out of the traps, making a fog as you walked along the catwalks, like a movie. Very loud environment, danger signs everywhere, and...

Cough cough just buy one cough. Especially if it's your only log/brush moving thing you got

If you can't weld, def get an arbor trolley. I weld for money, and I still bought one. It is way better than anything I would have built, you might say it is the perfect brush cart. It can tip large rounds on it, carry wood, and carry more brush than you can imagine. I tweaked my back one day...

Most smaller (made for pickup trucks) utility trailers use the sides as a beam for strength/cheapness of materials. By having a 2' angle iron or square tube, or expanded metal side they have created a beam that is stronger than those materials alone. A true flatbed will be more expensive...

Yeah my buddy that got me started has a Mack rolloff, so I just call him, he drops it, I fill it, then he gets it. I pay him accordingly, but saves me the trouble of trucking if I have a bunch of jobs or a large removal. A 30 yard tub has 6 foot sides I think, and it's 20 foot long. He's got a...

Yeah I rent a dump trailer all the time for about 100, and if it's a big enough job, I just have my buddy drop a 30 yard dumpster, sometimes even just having him come out with his mini ex. You can fit a whole lot of tree in a dumpster if you load it right

This. You need to remember what a company that does this all day every day looks like. If I went full time, I would have a lift, a mini at the least probably bigger, and this would be my truck, pulling a mammoth trailer behind it. This is not overdoing it by any stretch of the imagination...

The larger the trailer, the easier it is. Backing up a log splitter is almost impossible, a semi is so easy my dog could do it. And a bumper pull will more or less track directly behind you, it's not until you get into a gooseneck or 5th wheel that you really need to watch your inside turns.

I have it, works great for chips, not so much for brush ime

All tandem axle trailers should have brakes

Let's be clear, even if it has brakes, that's the wrong trailer. There's not too much to maintaining a trailer, so used is ok. As long as it's not rusted away and you have tires under it, that's about all there is.

Yes a dump trailer is the way to go. But he has yet to cut a tree for money, and so doing the chainsaw chipper and hand dragging it off for the burn pile is the first step lol. I have a backhoe that I use to unload, before I got my chipper. The rolloff trailer conversion I plan on will be able...

That's a mower trailer. While it will work, you will just beat it to death using it for trees. And every twig will get stuck in the expanded metal. Get yourself a used flatbed, and add removable wooden sides. Spend as little as possible, and make sure it's a tandem. If you go to a dealer, you...
