    How do you guys keep track of customers and scheduling?

    We also use Jobber and are very happy with it. Google sheets is great for keeping a list of all the jobs we have booked.

    New 1 ton options

    My chips truck is a Ram 3500 diesel. It has a steel chip box, which holds close to 15 yards. I threw airbags on it and it hauls a full load and pulls a BC1000 easily.

    Want to Sell Ditch Witch SK 650

    I have a 2006 Ditch Witch Sk650 for sale. Runs and works great. Has 2050 hours with brand new tracks. I'm only selling it because I'm buying the new SK 1050 when it comes off the production line in January. I've posted a link to the ad in Craigslist...

    List of Upgrades to Vermeer SC252

    I ended up putting a 35 horse Vanguard engine on my 252. It made a huge difference, but I'm having trouble with my clutch belts slipping, even though they are tightened all the way. Has this happened to anyone else and if so, was a solution found?

    Think you've rigged big wood? Try this on for size......

    I've rigged some pretty big stuff using similar techniques, but 17s? Holy crap! Could you have just used a crane instead? I'm assuming yes since the log truck was able to get in there.

    Rope and split tail

    It will work. You can always make an extra wrap on your blake's if it slips on you.

    Vermeer 252

    Valid point. I can't argue with that.

    Vermeer 252

    I did not change the jackshaft or the bearings. You won't notice an increase in ground speed by upgrading the engine. You have to speed up the hydraulic pump by increasing the size of it's pulley. You can still adjust the speed of the sweep by adjusting the knob near the levers. That way, if...

    Setting climbing line around large diameter spars

    I like to set my climbing line on the ball of the crane. Just put a large locking carabiner or a shackle above the ball and rap off of that. Then, when you get to where you are going to make the cut, do the behind the back flip with your flipline and clip in. Then pull your climbing line from...

    Vermeer 252

    I followed the threads on this forum to beef up my 252. I upgraded the pulley on the hydraulic pump from 3" to 3.5" and switched the engine to a 35hp Briggs Vanguard. The end result is a machine that has faster ground and swing speed and grinds about 30% faster than the previous version. I...

    Stihl 201T

    I bought one of the first ones to hit the shelves. It was an absolute POS. It would stall constantly and took forever to warm up. I walked into the store where I bought to complain for the 100th time and the rep from Stihl happened to be there. He told them to replace the carb. It has...
