Default question

Which single piece of machinery earns you the most money?

For me I'd say its a toss-up between my small stump grinder and chipper

Can get 18" chippers here from $100/hour, no big deal operating with no chipper.

I agree with you whole heartedly, If we could hire a 18" Chipper for $100/per Hr we would go that way as well,but down here it's a lot more, The chipper boys would walk with all the cream,so our chipper be it a small one is indeed worth it's weight in gold, When we break it and we do once and a while it's like looseing your truck, Or popping your main saw in the trees, 200T, makes it very hard work,so I came to realise that all your essential tools form one working unit.IMO.
