We had a 16” Asplundh chipper. the whisper model was the next newer one from ours. Ours had a 300 CI Ford in line six. My uncle had the same model with a Ford V8. The V8 was a little wider and his guys kept knocking out the radiator, so Dad ordered ours with the six. The Whisper was much quieter, and knocked the high pitch wine way down. That’s why I can’t hear now. The doctor said my hearing loss is compatible with prop engine fighter planes. When I got married my wife said my back looked like a slave on a Roman gallion.
Oh lord!

For the most part no, but certain rivers do, especially the "natural rivers"
.. I think they could use a couple more traps, and some new tile 
.
Surprisingly I haven't had any hard core cramps(just minor) after my many trips up and down this hill and across it.

You're obviously doing something right

I’ve found that Himalayan pink salt helps. A friend that does 100 mile marathons and Iron Man races told me about it. It’s basically like unprocessed salt. It has sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and most of the trace elements you sweat out. I could eat ten pounds of banana’s and it didn’t help at all. V8 juice worked better than nana’s, and magnesium supplements work very well. But, for me, the pink salt worked the best. But, I’m 65, and my B/P is 120/74. So, my doctor said I can use salt for my cramps.Leg cramps . . . when I was 45 yrs old, first night out on a week-long cross-state bike ride, overworked from biking serous hills & being short on sleep--I got introduced to leg cramps. Thighs locked up tight--it's excruciating. Had never had them before and had no understanding of them. I learned fast.
With age, however, they are now a lousy, constant threat. Have learned to mostly prevent them, unless I forget or get lax about prevention. Bananas--have daily gone through 3--5 on hot summer days, and I don't like bananas. Now my go-to is coconut water. Two to three cans for any workday. Copious water, of course. Bananas when I can force them down. Hot shower after work is essential (not sure why, but it works). And vinegar. I swig apple cider vinegar from the bottle, can get three good swigs before gag reflex puts a stop to it. Have to keep a bottle of vinegar at the side of the bed, for the rare times when no amount of prevention worked. Oh, and no sugar late in the day. I used to mix maple syrup and peanut butter for a late evening snack--had to give it up.
My thighs are constantly at risk for cramps, but a builder friend--lots of ladder and on your feet all day--Frank said he gets 'em in his calves. Terrible either way. Frank's wife is nearly deaf, can't hear much of anything without hearing aids. He said he was out of the bed & on the floor one night, writhing with pain, and only way to get his wife's help was to throw the cat on her.
What about the cat getting thrown onto the wife lol.
. I was laughing, and writhing in pain at the same time, would have made heck of a video 
. Everyone else was just looking on wondering what was going on .
