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

Chipper by a fair way...

Ekka · 26th August 2007, 04:23 AM

ms200T by a mile, for what that costs and what it does ... big WINNER.

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.

Bogie drive truck (combined with 18"). Gives access to jobs very few people can compete with. Expecially when in has just rained for a week. lol
