the bank dont want to give me money no college savings, no interest customers yes, I just gotta do 70K in work before that truck sells, but not really that hard considering how much im working right now

whos money do I get to spend on a new one?

I broke my boxer the other day, emergency uprooting walnut over my buddys house, as I grabbed a limb with the BMG and curled backwards the mount broke off for the curl cylinder, not the original cylinder so I had to move the mount up and double its height, the added leverage and heat affected...

we have a chainsaw mill, absolutely terrible, slow, loud, lose a lot to sawdust, and cost a lot to run (same price as paying our bandsaw dude) sometimes I can open the trailer doors, although since they dont open flush to the trailer sides and get into part of the oncoming lane, I load with...

if that would work here, that would be nice, I got a "niche" market per se, long logs often have to go over top of a fence, or over the sides of my trailer, so to load a 10-16ft mill log I have to lift it atleast 5ft up in one piece and even for non mill logs, I still have the issue of terrain...

You can't just cut mill logs into short pieces Currently the biggest usable logs we do is like 6ft because the boxer can't move them Neither can the 800, I need that 6k tipping capacity/2k operating capacity for what I'm doing, a smaller machine will not be considered due to it being a complete...

The 800 is too small for me, otherwise I'd get one for way less than the 1550

well, I still have one, just cant run it as hard as id need to without the grapple (machine about to croak, dont want to kill it just yet) id say a good portion of our work is tight access, but if I get a proper grapple/treemek then I can almost 100% do away with the tight access jobs, very few...

ive had them replaced before, im aware what that cost, $2000 and a phone call to a local company, truck down for 2 days

yeah, not getting a new skidsteer, the more I look at it the worse of an idea it becomes

oh and since that grapple truck has a knuckleboom with aux hydraulics, and a legit load chart (over 1900 pound capacity at 62ft side reach, 4K capacity at 75ft vertical reach) I can put a grapple saw on it, an SG160 mecanil probably, for another 20K poor mans treemek basically, get rid of 80% of...

exactly my boxer cost 9 grand, needs an engine rebuild, hydraulic leaks fixed, battery and starter among other issues, between parts and downtime it will end up costing basically what that SK1550 cost, just with the SK I get more speed, capacity, and a warranty

im not the one driving, plan is to stick a trailer behind the grapple truck with skid and spider lift, already got a CDL driver for it anyhow also, with the "wasting time fixing stuff" comment, that is my reality, I get home from a day of work and work on my stuff till the sun goes down, every...

possibly, why?

that truck I posted is being sold by a local ish tree company, they go for 3-500K new of course the dealer is selling the skids for way more than it really cost, thing is, no used market for a mini skid here, the few for sale want almost new price for machines with the same issues I already got...

ehh, used ones are going for 50-300K right now, for a decent one that isnt the same condition as my bucket truck more boom the better, I want a telescopic boom, just found a 2007 sterling with a drywall boom grapple on it, probably 60ft or so reach for 68K

yeah, prolly gonna get a grapple truck for that price

well, I have less questions now, got quotes 62K for a 1550, not gonna happen

another thing I meant to ask, for people financing their mini skids, what are the monthly payments and overall price like? Ditch witch is doing 3.99% for 36 months it looks like, seems to me thatll be around $1500 a month with 3 grand interest if im not mistaken

the wait is no big issue, gonna be a while before I can afford it too lol also looking at getting a CMc 83 or 92HD to replace the bucket truck, gonna need around a quarter million cash before I end up doing all this stuff anyways
