Little bit more.
Way to much action in those pics you need to calm yourself down when posting in this forum we're not allowed to be that tough anymore
I came across this Total Cost of Ownership for Volvo equipment, but you can use it for anything. It's interactive with sliders to change the variables.

Well i talked to my private investor. He is gonna loan me the money for a knuckleboom chip truck and also to replace my chipper. The loan is for like $50k more then my loans threw liberty financial were, and his loan is $200 cheaper a month. Guess since I was given the chance for a ultra low interest rate I should take him up on it. am gonna use the money I am getting from the insurance for the wrecked truck to pay off my stump grinder and do a couple fixer up things to the new house when we move in.

Good for you on the lower interest rate. That really adds up over five to seven years. How many years on this new loan.

Yep. Love mine. Brand new this spring. Don't know how I got by without it for so long. It replaces a man. Doesn't show up late or bitch when it's hot/cold/tired etc! Not a huge fan of the Vermeer grapple but It gets the job done. I still have my big case skid steer for lot clearing and bigger jobs but the little Vermeer is on the job 90% of the time. Our town got rocked by a tornado 3 weeks ago and that mini skid has been out every single day for the past 3 weeks moving wood and stuffing brush into the chipper. You won't be upset if you get one!
A lot better than trying to lift the wheels up with the outriggers and then block and dig under the tires.

Get a Ryans grapple. I heard boxer is coming out with a totally redesigned machine that is simular in capacity to the big vermeer st800.

Called and ordered my truck this morning. Just gotta wire transfer some money down and in about a week I will have my new truck.
Well, sounds like the knock I've been hearing in my International is most likely a scored cylinder. Probably gonna end up rebuilding the lower end. Sweet.
I knew I wasn't gonna get off that easy. That damn noise has been haunting me all year!! Grr...

Just rebuilt mine less than a month ago. 4700 with a dt466?
4300. DT466. Was quoted roughly $5700. I saw your thread in the equipment section. How'd you make out?
