    TORO Stump Grinder ... 1st use

    I used that for quite a few jobs, its for jobs on impossible slopes or when you have to go off-road, it's surprisingly fast and its sweep pattern is a bit odd, it goes on all the way to past 90 deg. on one side and has a total of about 120 degrees of sweep in towards the unit. I drove over...

I have plently "Clue" about what your and many other dealers are about, I can go to the auction too, and I have and I have been in the trade long enough to know what's what, what is junk and what is not Junk, I have bought enough Junk and fixed...

    Maranuk Equipment in Pa. Anyone bought from them??

    They all are all the same (equiptment dealers), in fact the larger they are the more difficult to deal with and the more likely they are to co you and not stand up to what they say... Once your out the door and the sale is made you have no recourse with them, regardless of what BS they gave you...

    Disk or Drum chipper?????

    Have big disc chipper, awesome machine to work with, Morbark 2100D 15" disc. MASSIVE machine to tow, but fills big truck very well, easy and inexpensive to maintain and it is very simple to sort out knives and work on despite its shear girth, chips big tops well and has 'crush/lift' feature...

    Toro STX 26 in Pickup?

    I used one for a solid year before I bought one, its not that its not going to fit or be to heavy its just going to be quite scary to drive it up there, the panel style control for the tracks is not going to be easy to use while you pull it up there, your going to need serious ramps too, as...

    kunckle boom questions

    Hiab 071 I just bought a old 89 Mack on air with a flat deck that dumps, it has the 071 Hiab with similar specs 24' of reach at 1000kg, 4000kg in close, tight and has no play, and no leaks. Any idea on how to make the best use of the shorter reach? is this a good model for hiab?

    carlton 4012 d

    high / low very easy to fix, the switch is a bypass for the hydrolic dampener valve, the switch either gives direct power (high) or loops the power through the valve (low with adjustment). open the cover on the front and simply replace the switch and make sure the wiring is right. Takes 5 mins...

    trying to put a ford sraight six 4.9 from f150 on a morbark 200

    I can tell you, for sure it will not work. I had a Model 13 that I had an industrial 300 inline 6 and I pour tons of money into rebuilding everything on it and then the bottom end went on it. That is not a good idea I lost near 10k of what I had in the chipper, when I intially had engine...

    Stihl MS 201T vs. Husqvarna 338XP T

    Hmmm... Should I add my 2 Cents Own a fleet a Stihls, used all the saws in question, had a 334t for a while and the horrendous 335xpt. 338xp is a decent saw but they are also no longer in production, now it is the 435t. I have seen them and they are totally redesigned. 201 are heavy, awkward...

    Teco buckets?

    Teco Buckets Think about what would happen if you were stuck or if it would drift... Don't buy a low dollar bucket, you will never be able to afford to fix it and it will never feel safe after you have issues with it. Save and buy a Versa Lift if you have to go cheap, Hirangers are great and...

    Bandit Model 65 Chipper

    Not bad but bring a checklist, or a mechanic... Price is Fair but it should be looked over carefully as 1800 to 1900 hours is a key point when a lot of high dollar items will go. Check the feed roller bearings, main disc bearings and the yoke pivot. The Wisconsin Gas is a decent motor but they...

    are climbers underpaid in the states?

    Yes We are all Underpaid... However in the US ... WOW, that is really something else. Big Cities are going to pay out better dollars to a climber generally, rural guys will make less and it's all about who you are. Solid dependable climbers out in the GTA (Toronto Area) are generally making...

    chipper which to buy which not to buy

    1 Ton Dual or Single Wheel? If your running a Dual One Ton you can manage the bigger stuff, but unless your truck is built Rock Solid a 12" chipper is a lot for a One Ton, Day in Day out, it can be hard on the truck especially full loaded. Best Chipper is the one you can afford bottom line but...

    Stihl vs Husqvarna

    Rent a 440 To be honest my own experience is rent until you can't live without it. Also, Stihl will be a 'work' saw, It will be there for a long time and put up with a lot of abuse. I have Stihl's at my company since I am not always the one doing the cutting. I love Husqvarna but they MUST be...

    Tracked vs rubber tire stump grinders

    Track vs Tire Tracks are Awesome, on smaller units they are very useful and actually just as easy on the lawn if your somewhat careful. I have no experience on a larger unit with tracks but I am stunned to hear that you have only encountered one gate, I am always fighting for access, I am...

    ID this chipper?

    No, No and No Never buy that, ever, unless you don't like the skin on your face or knuckles... That is an outdated and dangerous machine that should remain as scrap, people can't even give those away up here anymore.
