any follow up with this? I don't inject commercially but my family owns several ranches and I do inject there using TreeTech micros for oak wilt. I've been doing it for about 3 years. So far, my results for actual product delivery are mixed even though I take my time and do it EXACTLY as...

I'm looking for an alternative to bleach for sterilizing my saws and tools after working with oak wilt (Ceratocystis fagacearum). The last class I took, the forester said he would no longer use bleach after damaging his chainsaws. He stated the heat and petroleum products on a chain aren't...

It's been awhile since I've posted but this topic is important to me and I, too, get on a soap box because I care about people. I had written a LONG post here but deleted most of it. I'm sure most of you who take the time to read a forum like this have a good idea of what I was going to say...

One of the reasons I sold my 20" chipper was because of laborers who just couldn't understand the power of these machines on hand-feed jobs. Despite training and pre-job instructions, even with seasoned tree guys, I'd see them reach into the chipper. I got tired of worrying about someone getting...

Very nice pics.. looks like Heaven on Earth to work out there.

It's been awhile since I've stopped in here. How's everyone been? I've got a Vermeer BC 2000. I mostly use it for land clearing and large soft wood logs like cedar. For the most part, I'm okay with crappy chips and pieces since we use a lot of the leftovers for erosion control and the rough...

I know this is an old thread but this subject comes up occasionally. I've consistently come up tops in the search engines for years. It's a lot of work. It took a long time to figure them out. I spent hours reading, researching, etc. Some of my larger competitors actually copy and pasted my...

Welcome to the forums. I've been away for awhile and don't get to post much anymore. I am glad to see Bobcat dealers branching out so to speak. I have a Vermeer chipper and pretty much everything else is Bobcat; s750, 335, Toolcat, stumpgrinder, buckets, grapples, and so on. I do a lot...

Since someone revived this really old thread, I'll update my Vermeer experience for anyone who is thinking about an older Vermeer. Fast forward almost 6 years and a month, and I've been very happy with my Vermeer BC2000. I got my service issues resolved and since then, the machine has had...

That's really, really crappy. I hope you stopped payment on the check!

I've been using a grapple for almost 18 years. My first choice is a fork-style grapple (heavy duty) with independent closing grapples (two cylinders). I also own a single cylinder grapple and it's not nearly as versatile. I like the smooth fork grapples (Bobcat Industrial Grapple). Very HD...

I think $90/hr would be high down in Texas for climbers.. I see it go for about $36-38/hr per man but there are guys climbing for $12-15/hr. Wages for tree work are pretty low down here but we do okay on the disposal end. We get about $150/hr for 20 chipper with loader and $90/hr for a bobcat...

welcome! I don't get on as much as I used to... but glad to see the site still growing.

to each his own. Get what works for your situation. All brands have issues. I've owned 13 Bobcats and one C series CAT. All have their pros and cons. For this thread, though, I wouldn't be without a skid or CTL for moving trees, dirt work (4wd tractor not even in the same class), or...

look at a bobcat toolcat. With AWS you can go into just about anywhere. It's 5' wide (about the same as a small tractor) but can lift 1500 lbs rated (but will lift a lot more) and can use all types of bobcat attachments from stump grinders to buckets and grapples. Also have a bed for your tools...

I have a BC2000 that started tripping the 150 amp circuit breaker this week. So far, I have replaced both batteries (cables and grounds look good), replaced the breaker, and looked for any chaffed or wires that might be grounding out. Vermeer told me that it was probably the breaker but that...

look for a used Vermeer BC2000 or Bc2000 xl. I can chip 20" hardwood and use the loader to assist. It's got a 200 hp cummins and I haven't needed extra power. It's heavy at 12600lbs but it does a lot a work. Not great for short wood unless you push it in with something because the feed...

i have a youtube channel I just started. There is a video there. You can also visit http://www.brushchipping.com

To be fair, I want to update that Vermeer has made some changes locally and I feel much more comfortable with the level of respect I have received since those changes were put in place. I still use my '03 BC2000 with loader and it is a good machine. It has been fairly low maintenance, is easy to...

Bc2000 The grapple on the BC2000 opens wide and will pick up a bundle that's at least 7' long and stuff it into the feedwheels. Vines and bushy material are no problem as long as it is long enough to reach feed wheels. I have no tried to load with my excavator or bobcat because I like using...
