Just did the chipper 86.00 per side for backing plates complete and 120.00 for a battery and breakaway box ! Hell the ticket alone for no brakes is almost that cost , you'd be dumb to just figure on it annually as a part of getting ready !

if you keep thinking like that (common sense) your going to get banned from this site.

I got a price of like $1100 just to get the parts to do my bandit with 8k (?) Dexter torflex like you mentioned. I think that included all the wheel bearings, but still?? What're you running, a tsc axle on that bad girl?? Lol

Edit: that was drums too, now that I think about it.. still though. Was thinking it'd be closer to what you quoted!!

I'm just assuming you went to the dealer. Take a look at the backing plates and drums and try to get some numbers off them. Then cross reference with Dexter. I did 4 drums, backing plates, and bearings in my equipment trailer for around 600

I think I tried dexter first (figuring bypass the dealer), but they sent me back to the dealer, who couldn't help me directly, but sent me to another spring and axle specialty type company (in state), where I got that quote. Kinda foggy, as that was a year or so ago. I have it written down (with part numbers) in one of my books somewhere. I'll have to look into it more when I get the extra dough. Till then truck stops fine. I just avoid dot like the plague in general. Lol.
 
We got a rental crane while we wait on a new one or getting ours back from the mechanic brand spanking new 19 ton, I hate it, to many electronics a 6200 dollar box that beeps at me wtf send it back I don't want it lol and I wonder how long before the little wire on the side of the boom gets ripped off? I need a bigger crane so I can get over the tree not through it! Grrrrrrrr it is a push button auto though with AC so I'll take it I guess

Today was out at a job in this neighbourhood. Absolutely farging gorgeous.

Yes they are. They get my immediate and full attention when they dive into an eyeball or ear.

The never lube bearing were 400 per side the drum were also a special deal but the brake shoe and backing plate were straight forward trailer store , those never lube are regarded expensive
 
yup little buggers are way down south here too…sadly I was splitting wood all day (aka on the ground) not much breeze at ground level…..quartered, etc….big maple rounds and split with a small hydraulic splitter…HO ended up with ~ 2 cord of split stacked…HO lives on a lake so a few requisite cannon balls were in order in the heat of the day…..
 
I bet they do a really good job and are insured and all
