Pretty much every chipper made in the last 30 years has a certificate of origin = title with a gvwr listed from the factory, otherwise it would be impossible to register it for otr use.

My '97 Bandit does not. So...we'll assume that should perhaps be 15 years instead of 30? Sadly, I don't make enough money to buy new stuff. On the other hand, my old 200xp works just as good as the day I bought it, so why bother with new?

Maybe treevet can teach me how to sell EAB treatments for high profits to folks that don't know it probably won't work in the long run anyway. EAB just arrived in the KC area, and some folks are getting curious about saving their trees until I tell them a cost for annual treatments.

Funny cuz my 97 bandit 150 does, and I'd bet a good amount of money that yours did too at one point. There is a loophole regarding registering trailers as homemade. Some states laws are different, I'm aware of that, but no factory trailer made in the last few decades doesn't come with a coo or title.

And I 100% agree with you on the benefit of running older equipment. I do. Instead of that 60k chipper, I use my 98 morbark 15 inch with a jd 120 which runs the tits, and bought a 25t crane with the money I saved :)

If I was crushing work with scheduling months out in advance, I suppose I could justify purchases like brand new chippers and trucks, but with the way this business is, and seemingly every week a new tree service pops up, I'd rather rest easy knowing I have zero payments at the end of the month to be responsible for if things get tough.

Nope. Bought it new from the dealer. It's met Mr. DOT on many occasions, never a word about where is the registration or plates.
 
Then you must've had a certificate of origin for it at the least!

Um...Bill of sale? No license required in Mo. or Ks. This unit has had both states DOT work it over on many occasions. Never a peep about where is the registration, title, nor license.

It seems to me that the Kansas scales might have been tripping over that for about an hour once, but then they just said nothing while they did their research.

In MA you have to have title, registration, safety inspection, and you better believe they will tow your **** if you don't.

Had a big pine party last week! Removed 30 pines, grind stumps, remove all the old needles and back fill with top soil. There was a row of lilacs behind the pines we ripped out too.
 
$1375 a month with nothing down.
