    Need Oak Cut Down in NW Houston

    Crotch is actually about 8 ft up. Limbs would be hauled out through the rock bed behind it. I'll take down the fence prior to arrival and you can back your trailer up in my drive way right up to the fence.

    Would a 3/4 or 1 ton pickup truck be better for me??

    2013 Chevy 3/4 Ton Don't know 3/4 Ton vs 1 Ton but I can quote Chevy vs Ford. My father in law just got a 2013 Chevy 3/4 Ton Crew Cab with the 6.0 Liter. He is getting 10 in the city and 14 on the highway. I've got a 6.2 Liter in my F150 Raptor and prior to adding the blower I was getting 11 in...

    5,000 psi 2 Stage Hydraulic Pump?

    Patrick, I agree with you...tried to give you a "like" but the damn hacked web site wouldn't let me! There is a lot of the bigger is better....and I admit Im guilty of it with a lot of things. My wife and I were talking about a friend tonight at dinner with a Power Stroke that has never...

    5,000 psi 2 Stage Hydraulic Pump?

    Good Feed Back! Hahaha.....as I expected this one got a good conversation going and I enjoyed reading all the comments particularly Leon's. :msp_biggrin: I worked northern PA / southern NY for awhile and the drilling language is completely different. As to why I want to build a splitter? I...

    5,000 psi 2 Stage Hydraulic Pump?

    Guys, I'll preface my questions below with a little back ground about myself. I am an oilfield engineer with 10 years of experience. My expertise is fluid dynamics (pumping and flow of the various fluids in drilling wells) in well bores. Now I know a lot of "self educated" people with a...

    Hard Hat w/ Ear Protection & Face Shield

    Mesh vs Plastic Face Masks Agreed on the plastic face masks. I absolutely hate them. I honestly believe they cause more injuries in the oilfield then they prevent. Our worse problem is we have to wear them power washing (which we do A LOT!) and within 5 seconds you can't see a d$&! thing! I'm...

    Hard Hat w/ Ear Protection & Face Shield

    OP Response Yeah I saw both of those and I've done that (rag out the back of the hard hat) before at work but I don't particularly like the flap hanging on my neck. I've seen the hard hat like I wear on Sherrills (Forrester's) but it doesn't have the ear protection option. I can get the slide...

    Hard Hat w/ Ear Protection & Face Shield

    Guys, I'm looking for a hard hat with built in ear protection and a "mesh" face shield. Now I know and have found a lot of these online but my issue is the hard hat. I work in the oilfield and Im use to a full wrap around visor (keeps drilling fluid out of your clothes) so that's the issue. I...

    Ford Raptor Power Steering Pump Failure

    Warranty Covered But Still A Bad Design Guys, Found out today they are going to warranty cover the issue with the steering pump. Still curious about the issue as my Raptor only has 12K miles and my 2008 Super Duty had a multiple similar issues at less than 50K miles sans any obvious reason...

    Ford Raptor Power Steering Pump Failure

    Guys, We were out putting up deer stands the other day and my father-in-law stuck his new 2500 HD 6.0 liter. I hiked two miles back and got my Raptor....drove around him through the mud to get on hard ground and jerked him out. After pulling him out I noticed that steering was tough and...

    Shredder Vacs?

    Guys, I've got a Stihl Shredder Vac. I forget the model but it is the homeowner model from a 2 years ago. This is the only Stihl equipment I've been disappointed in. It only can handle light loads of leaves and if a piece of bark mulch gets in their it stops the vacuum blade right up. Then...

    Gravely ZT 34" Line

    ZT34 Crankshaft Problems Pele, What's your opinion in the ZT42 (Kawi engine)? A relative of mine works at the Gravelly dealership selling Mahindra tractors so we went and talked to the mechanics. They said they don't even stock the ZT34 because they have had so many of the 34s come back...

    201T Question

    OP Response Jolly, Not the ACE in Atascosita. I forget the name but its over on the west side. Ever shop at LRs Lawn Mower on Ella? They are actually my closest Stihl dealer but Im not very impressed. Since Im not commercial it seems every time I go in there I get little to no assistance...

    201T Question

    I was at my local Stihl Dealer (an ACE Hardware) today to pick up a new weed wacker and edger. While I was waiting I was comparing the weight of the 261 and 201T. Now Im not a climber but I have been looking at the 201 rear handle for limbing. The sales rep asked if I was a climber and I told...

    Gravely ZT 34" Line

    Guys, About to buy a new zero turn. I was looking at the Gravely HD line (44" or 48") but the size of my yard doesn't really justify the cost. If I go with the 48" I'd have to widen gate also. Anybody got an opinion on the lower ZT line specifically the 34"? Reliability? Deck thickness...
