    Actually, I wasn’t bragging about anything. The post was completely sarcastic in nature. When someone asks me the same question several times, and I don’t answer it, you’d think they’d get the hint. That’s all. There’s just certain things I don’t post about in here.

    Lol. You guys are funny. Basically my customer is in the Bahamas or something like that I’m pretty sure. This is a summer type home. He asked me to look at this row of trees last summer when we were there doing some other work. I finally got back to him a couple weeks ago and asked if he still...

    I like that truck!! You need one of these to go with it!! Lol. Pretty sure you’d need a ten speed to tow a 19,700lb chipper!!? How big of a body will it accept?

    Maintenance Monday. Got the chute off the backup 250, emptied the belly pan, took new battery out, greased her and put her in the container. Then we worked on fitting the other stuff in for the winter. Not bad. Six key pieces, plus the lift trailer will be high and dry and ready to pull out...

    I figure I’ve got about 190k paid towards my log truck already. 63k down and three years at $3530 a month. Amazing how the doers get **** done. Lol, just saying.

    I thought you said if you had a log truck it could potentially open up an entirely new biz log truckn through the winter?

    Thanks, Mike. Yeah, it’s a 55L (55 ton, 155’ of boom, I believe). Beautiful machine and top notch operator. Log truck has been pretty handy lately too. We still had this last piece of pine from a job earlier in the week in the truck when we fit all but a few little pieces of that maple in...

    Ideal Sized Chipper

    I was in a similar situation five years ago. They’re gonna try and sell you a bandit 18” with the car engine. I just went and got my class A and went bigger, 19xpc with JD 173. One of the best decisions I’ve made yet.

    Had frozen outrigger pads slipping around this morning. Not gonna be a problem tomorrow! This new antique free shop is more awesome every time I turn around! Looks like I can fit a lift on trailer, the big chipper, and the two giants plus tractor now. Amazing. Still need a palm tree or two for...

    Branch Manager Grapple Hardox Steel vs. Regular?

    Yeah, isn’t really a big deal, smaller grabs can usually be rotated slightly whilst being stuffed into the chipper one way or another. Isn’t rocket science by any stretch of the imagination really. Lol

    Branch Manager Grapple Hardox Steel vs. Regular?

    I went with the hardox/powered rotator, have not looked back. Would be nice if Ole Dave coulda coughed up a couple more teeth (width wise) on the grapple backing plate, is my only real complaint.

    I gotta look at a couple jobs with you guys as soon as possible too. I’ve been slacking. Jobs should be good to go though.

    So yeah, basically the Dino is 705 lbs lighter than an omme 2750, has 10’ less scissors height (up and over reach), and a travel width of 81” as compared to 44” with the omme… and costs quite a bit more too. Better not need plywood or it’s two sheets wide time. Just a couple more thoughts on...

    Lol, this Dino looks like an overpriced Mazda to the MDS.
