Yeah, If you're doing volume like that you got to have a big one... Or two. I could have done well with a big one down in Alabama after the storm but I hooked up with a couple of guys who both had Vermeer SC60's and kept them both hopping but the return investment on those takes a long time. The guy with the new one had over 150 G's investing in his whole setup, including new truck and trailer. That's a lot of doe to spend on a stump grinding operation in my book. I made better taking them off of houses and doing hazard mitigation. I have just never been a big ground person. If you are running a big show I could definitely see where you would want a setup like that though.

ya i use a bobcat attachment now you probably seen pictures i posted of it before. thats an 8000 pound stump grinder tho. it was a good idea when we didn't have a boom truck but now we rarely use it for loading wood and we still have the john deere with a loader on it if we need it. i think the bobcat is gonna get sold for a stump grinder.

i can't tow that bad boy around for less than 400$ ill burn 50 in fuel just going 10-15 miles. plus its kinda limited on access terrain. bobcats just rip stuff up to anyway you shake it none of them are lawn friendly. even the big bandits are less than 4k that would be fantastic compared to 8k.

my chevy duramax eats tires/brakes like tic tac's pulling that thing around
