What did you do with the brush and stumps ?? Big open area like that calls for burning.

We took the stuff to the dump site about 9 miles away. The airport said no way on burning. That was ok with with me since this whole job was T&M. Work for 3 trucks!

I knew I'd see that truck again. That's the truck that threw a rock and busted my new windshield!
















J/K glad you found some work.

I would have to tell you the same thing I tell the other people that call me on that. Call you insurance agent because you have a road hazard claim.














J/K glad you found some work.

Do you have a problem with brush and stumps getting stuck in the box with a short box?? When hauling stumps, we cut them off flush so they slide out easy. The next truck we buy, will have a rock body with either a swing gate or a hyd lift gate.

385,

When did you get a 200 JD? I thought you were a 160 size guy.

I traded in the 160 this summer. 200 is so much nicer but a pain to move around.
