So you would think that with an f550 with a full load and a bandit 250xp trailing behind....would be close to maxing out the truck?

Good points guys! So the only dump I have been able to find that doesn't cost a fortune to dump at is about a 30 min drive away. So about an hour of driving total to go to the dump. That is why I would like a larger truck so I will only have to go to the dump ever 2nd or 3rd day! And "BC Wet...

I have been looking at everything....and international is quite a bit more expensive up here in Canada. I can pick up any of the trucks that I mentioned for a similar price. Anything international is quite a bit more expensive than the trucks I mentioned above. I know the Ford trucks can have...

Hey guys, so I am new to the business as of last year and I am starting my own company this summer. So far I have purchased a Bandit 250xp chipper (6800lbs). I am looking to get a chip truck as well. I have narrowed down my choices to a few based on what I found to be the best deals I could...

Wow, ok so i guess ill test it out and see how it goes! Thanks for the opinions guys. I am much better informed now than i was at the beginning of the week!

Hey, so really??? I shouldn't bother with the auto feed? My logic was that it would save me from any accident my groundsman might make.... I mean....I can get the "auto feed plus" unit online...for like $210. Then have to buy the hoses and valves. I can probably install it myself. So it...

Hey guys thanks again for the responses. I ended up buying the gas chipper. I had it checked out at the dealer. All I had to do regular maintenance and change the ignition switch! It runs great and all the bearings are good! So now that I have this machine...I have two more questions for you...

Thanks for the responses guys. So here is what I have decided. It seems that both machines I am looking at should easily run for quite a while longer. After looking into it more....the diesel is 98hp and the gasser is 120hp. Both will have similar torque and perform similarly. I will...

I live in TMR

Let me clarify....both machines have similar hours on them. With that many hours, most likely several parts will need replacing...bearings, hydrolic hoses etc. But when it comes to the engines....that is more my main concern here. Does everyone agree that between the diesel and gas...

Really? See thats what I was wondering. Cuz I read up on the Ford straight 6 4.9 engine...and some have supposedly run in trucks up to 10,000 hours. Either way, you would suggest spending the extra $1500 on the one with the Diesel engine. Good to know. Does anyone else have an opinion to share?

So I am aware that the diesel will have more torque than the gas engine. I am pretty sure that either engine on this model will be sufficient for my chipping needs. I am more concerned about the number of hours on the units. I know almost 5000 hours is a lot....so I guess I am more concerned...

Hey guys, I am a university student and I run an arborist business during the summer. Last summer I rented a Vermeer BC700, which was a bit small for my needs. I have decided to buy a chipper for this coming summer. After doing some research, I realize that there are several options in the...

Thanks!

Hey guys, so I have a Mastercraft Model 54-5671-4 chainsaw. I had no clue what or who this saw was made by....but after a bit of research, I found out that Mastercraft was the Canadian "brand" on the Poulan 3400 chainsaw back in the 90's. So I need a piston and cylinder for this saw. I have...

Sorry but do they not make a 30" Es light bar??

Thanks very much!

Hey everyone, I have an ms461 and I want to buy either a 28" or 30" ES light bar . My dealer says they don't order them and unfortunately they arent in their system, so unless they have a serial number, they won't do it. Does anyone know the product number for either of these bars? Thanks

Hmm interesting. Good to know! I got my info from walkers saw shop (on the oiler info). He said they were the same on the R and regular versions. Maybe that is just out west??

Hey so I found out an interesting tid bit! My mechanic at my Stihl dealer said that there is actually NO high output oiler on the R version? He said its bull cuz if you order a new oiler, the part number is exactly the same on the regular and R versions.... Also, he said that in terms of a...
