    Dump Trailers

    I agree with all of what you are saying for the benefit of goose neck, yourself being a commercial contractor it make perfect sense but I also would stick with bumper pull, ops has plenty of trucks, depending on the amount of use and length of pull I would argue a bumper is a lot cheaper set up...

    Question on 21 year old buying a car

    You would be right believing that, throttle variation helps lubrication and preventing hot/dry spots...

    Skidder or Tractor? If you could only have one.

    Skid steers are nice especially for having all the attachment in front not that is not possible with a tractor, if Id have one it would have to be with tracks but I haven't seen a skid steer being able to hook up hay equipment like a rake or a baler so it would have to be a tractor.

    Suggestions for tree removal

    my suggestion would be to set a pully on a tree back behind the fence, then set up a rope on it and pull it with your tractor or a truck so it rips off and fall behind the fence (hopefully), then you can fall the standing piece.
