    Tracked chipper set up

    Yea exactly, if im feeling lazy and the customer doesn't want the wood, ill just chip everything that will go through. Usually we chip into the woods in parkland areas but in private gardens we will chip onto the trailer and dump in a designated area or remove the chip offsite entirely. Its...

    It has a hydraulic track tilt which is great for working on slopes. On slopes of upto 30 degrees i feel comfortable.

    Tracked chipper set up

    For most of you guys, this set up is simply too small. Here in Europe the main issue is often space or towing allowances or then taxes on heavy vehicles... So i have a compromise, a small (6 inch) chipper that can drive itself to the tree. It also has a tow bar on the chipper chassis so our...

    Thinking about buying a 540xp

    I won my 540T at a tree climbing comp, goes good & no issues so far. The husky guys said running them hard is the best break in procedure. I agree 5min + and ya have to use the choke again...To be honest, it seems about the same as the 201 in wood... 540 for takedowns, its kept warm with all...

    ms 150 best saw ever (snellorized) in the history of saws (lb. for lb.)

    ms 150 best saw ever (snellorized) in the history of saws (lb. for lb.)

    Can someone provide more info on 150 mods? Does it really give a power increase or just make it sound like a cut cat? I had mine since they first became available. 10" bar is perfect for this saw. One pruning tophandle and one removal tophandle, wouldn't have it any other way. One problem...

    Amsteel question

    Due to the price of Amsteel, its well worth simply inserting it into a cheep double braid cover. Its important not to use a locking brumal or to tie knots in Amstel as it reduces the breaking strength by >50% Directly bury the splice with an extra long taper, do the same when joining the...
