No luck yet on used Grapple Truck?? Anyone else have suggestions.
Thanks

Yeah, I got one. Let me send one of my guys to Florida to pick one up and sell it to you for $20,000 more than I gave for it. You are going to have to come off some money for a decent grapple. What did you think? You could buy a good one for $15,000 or something.
 
Thank you

Google Timberland Trucks and Equipment. That guy puts together a good clean truck. Also All Florida Truck Sales has some trucks. I have done some business with Royal Truck and Equipment. They always have some built up.
 
Watch out for the cheap ones. The price is low for a reason, really just spend the time and money to get it checked out. Loader parts can get expensive quick!!

Timberland Trucks search them on the web or i get them from FEVA Forestry Equipment of Virginia. Thies are the companies where we got the equipment that does not let us down.

to get a nice grapple truck your gonna be looking at spending upwards of 25. 40 grand even at that price its gonna be an older truck with high miles. new an international is in the 80k range.

early 90 international's go for right around 30g's with 150+ thousand miles. To me thats alot for a 20 year old truck. if you wait and save up some more $$ you might be able to get something alot nicer that will last you alot longer. with less matinence.
