I know, right? My midsize excavator reaches 30'

That’s probably a tad bigger machine than my buddies 80 but almost any excavator could load a dumpster.

It's just a little guy, compared to what they run on Goldrush.

The Deere 17D will reach about 10' though. We used it to install.a well pump once.

The Kubota M62 did the job. It was a little hard picking up and loading the tree and tree branches into the dumpster. Like others have said, a grapple attachment would be nice as that makes grabbing and moving debris into the dumpster a lot easier.

Some of the bigger juniper had pretty tough roots. Had to excevate around the tree, break the roots, and then topple the juniper over. The Kubota was up to the task.
