[@timw7481]

We have that same grapple and have loved it. Seems to be one of the strongest ones we’ve had or used have loaded huge stumps and chunks of concrete with it and has held up great.

nice to hear. I get 2 sets of hoses made up so hopefully wont happen again. Moving stumps it works great.

Nice work Buddie

Without walking it, I was thinking around $8k (up in CT). Sounds like the customer definitely got a deal for the ticket price, but I'm betting both sides parted feeling like they didn't get what they wanted. I hate doing work where price is enough of an issue that it takes a concession to win the bid. Nobody wins. Lucky you didn't throw a track in that mess!!!

Yeah the experience was worth it I can say I wasn't happy with it as it wasn't really anything picture worthy to share and use for advertising ect. Land clearing jobs since then I have bid considerably higher.

10k is what i would charge .

Wish I was in that ball park lol. But you live and learn. I didn't really lose money but I didn't' make any. What I got was a lot of experience and knowledge for the next job.
