    New truck question

    I need some opinions. I currently have a f-350, diesel, 1-ton dump that I haul wood and chips in. I have been interested in getting a 2nd truck probably to haul wood most of the time. My area has many steep driveways that I either have to go up to, or back my equipment down into. I've...

    98' Bandit 250xp chips

    Hey guys, I just bought a 98' Bandit 250xp. Everything is strong and works great except for the way I think it should throw chips. The RPMs are where my old 200xp were, but it only throws chips maybe 30 feet. Not near the force I think it should. Also, when I run a branch through...

    Knuckleboom truck

    I've been looking for a good truck mounted knuckleboom for sometime now. I know several of you guys use wheel loaders or excavators, but does anyone use a truck mounted knuckleboom? I was looking for a tri-axle with a knuckleboom if anyone knows of something.

    New 59" bar

    Just bought a 59" bar for the Stihl 084. I have been running a 36" with a RSF super full skip. I took down a huge white oak today and once on the ground, I began to cut firewood length pieces. The saw would hook up great in the wood, but then get bound up. I have 3 conclusions that I need...

    Chipping sycamore

    Is there anything worse? I hate doing these trees now, because of just the chipping. Every piece breaks 10 times over before it gets in the truck.

    Huge White oak slab

    Being an arborist, I am not to familiar with every sawmill made. I took a 50" dbh White Oak log to a guy who saws lumber for me quite often. He could not put it on his normal circular mill due to the weight and diameter, so we sawed it on another small mill he sets up. It is something...

    Using Tree equipment ?

    I keep getting calls from former tree customers wanting me to haul mulch or gravel for them in one of my 1-ton dumps. My question is, do you guys ever use your equipment for jobs other than tree work? Maybe a skid steer for grading or moving hay?

    Choices Choices

    I've been lucky enough to have the oppurtunity to buy a chipper now. I've been sharing one with a friend in the business for 5 years now. He does mostly storm clean up now, so he is very seldom here to use it anyways. He has a brush bandit 250, probably a 98' model. Other than that I...

    New saddle

    Hello all, I've made up my mind to get a new climbing saddle here in the next couple of weeks. I currently use the petzl navaho. It has been an ok saddle for me but can wear the back of my legs and lower back out. Other than that, i'm very happy with the attachment points and storage...

    April Showers

    I'm supposed to be doing a major takedown on a 52"DBH white oak and the weather gets me everytime I schedule it. It requires a crane and is a very small zone. I've cancelled and re-scheduled the thing 3 times now. Luckily the crane company is owned by a friend of mine. I hate these jobs that...

    Vinyl truck lettering

    I was interested in having the vinyl lettering and design done to my super duty dump and my bid truck(chevy s-10 zr2). Can some of you guys explain where on your trucks you did this and maybe even show some pictures? I have been using magnets, but I think they don't look as good and they keep...
