Sure wish that was the case on days like this. Should have the new axle by friday. My year sure isn't starting off the way I was hoping.

Buck up soldier.... Nice looking truck. Id like one like that one day. My chip dump is an 89 F600. It has HD axels though, lol.
 
For the right price you could have this one now. I will even throw in a new axle. Lol

Too boku right now. Just bought that dingo and grapple. And have a big check to write for the 25T if it passes inspection next week.

I know the feeling. Everything cost so.dam much and people think you should cut down there tree for $200.

I have a 18" morbark chipper and a 75' bucket and a grapple truck or trailer on my wish list. Someday. It's so hard being patient. Lol

We have the same wish list my friend. Good thing about working where I do is the custy either pays the price, or the tree stands. No one does tree work in Boston for short money.
 
Had a axle break on my chip truck on the steep hill in front N of my house 1/2 loaded towing the chipper. Guy driving it jacked knifed it back it down the hill but everything seems OK except for the new paint job. View attachment 330920

Sorry to hear that man. Sucks. Sounds like the retard should have never even been behind the wheel.

Pretty hard to break an axle by simply driving a chip truck on a paved road unless its grossly overloaded. If he was dukes of hazard style for sure, but the picture didn't look like he was out mudding with it lol...
 
I am guessing it was partially damaged from before. The guy that worked for me over last summer couldn't seem to start on even the slightest hill even after I showed him the trick of leaving the air break on till the clutch engages. **** happens. Can't be mad because it doesn't change anything.

Who's handing out CDL's to these guys. I learned to drive a truck when I was 16 in my Uncle's 1969 two stick one stack Mack with no shack on the back. I had that trick mastered before I hit 17.

Whats the gvwr on the 4300? Its not CDL is it?
 
It's only a 25,999 lb rated truck. I rode with the guy over the summer and he drove it good but seemed like he could drive worth a **** when I wasn't riding with him. It is probably because he was off in la la land.

Still to break an axel is some serious chite. You'd be wrong as 2 boys ****** in church running a 25.999 truck with a 7k chipper on the back of it without a CDL here in MA.
 
I removed a pretty good sized locust tree that had a bad rotten crotch with a lead over the garage. The job was on a farm and all the brush went to the burn pile and wasnt able to get the log loader to it so we did old school.
