Yes sir, appreciate your thoughts!
Going with your plan to get rid of the vibratory plow and use that area for the grapple bucket.
Thinking bed in the back for the weight as you suggested and load it up with tree cut offs.
Used to live and work in Rockville, MD so its nice to hear from a fellow east coaster.
Keep moving further away from DC as I get older.

Interested in learning more about equipment, welding and hydraulics.
