Hello. I find that i bend my longer oregon bars pretty regularly. Either cutting stumps or bucking up large rounds. Is there a more bend resistant bar out there? I just get the cheap oregon bars because i bend them but maybe thats why they bend lol. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is the sawdust exposure high enough to be hazardous? Also, do we spend enough time breathing in 2 stroke exhaust for it to be harmful? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My upper control cracked. I got a used one online thats a little different but works fine. The one i got is like the one in the picture. The brass 90 where the small lines attach thread into another threaded cylinder. To me, it seems like those cylinders control the flow of each line...

My pump took a crap today on my boom. The boom is in the air. Is there a way to open the holding valves to lower it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looking for Bluetooth muffs that will snap into a hard hat or helmet. I have Bluetooth ear protection but I haven't found anything for the helmets. And I dont mean an intercom system. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey guys! I am interested in hearing feedback on portable lifts. I currently have a bucket truck which i am looking to retire. Looking at used trucks it seems like they are bringing a lot of money. Almost to the point that I would just buy new for the piece of mind. My bucket is run probably 15...

Is anyone running a battery powered top handle? With success? I'm tired of the fumes, the idling and pull starting every minute. A battery seems like its the way to go. Thanks! Sent from my Moto Z (2) using Tapatalk

I cannot get the drive belt situation right on my chipper. It has a 2v pulley on it and Altec thinks it probably had 4 from factory. 2 individual belts flex too much and pop off. Anyway, what about convertimg it to a sprocket setup? Do you need some absorption from the belts? Sent from my Moto...

Anyone know where I can buy the long drive belt that turns the drum on a chuck n duck? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

Its time for a new 1 ton. And by new I mean off the showroom new. Looking back, nothing costs me more in down time than when my dump is down so I am going brand new. Questions... 11' stake body 9'3" standard steel dump I will put a box on either myself. Right now I have an 8' standard steel...

From time to time i feel a little bump in my boom. I do have some dripping from the lower boom cylinder from time to time. I assume thats what it is. I heard a louder clunk, for lack of a better word, the other day when changing directions on the lower boom. I lifted the lower boom 5' last night...

I'm talking in lumber. Trees arent worth very much at all. Even some very large trees we do will only bring a couple hundred bucks. If you dont count labor, most trees i do are worth more in firewood. I have a decent percentage of customers that think the trees value is equal to the removal...

I should have taken pictures. I have a Hickory tree to diagnose. It has rings in the bark that go around the entire tree and slightly bulge. I can describe it like a wire rope was left on a tree and it grew around it. That's not what it is, but that's what it looks like. They are on the trunk...

Sometimes when I tell customers I have to or am going to climb their tree, I get a dumbfounded look. It's usually followed up by some type of concern. And I know for sure I have lost jobs because of it. Some people want to be home to watch me so they can stop me before I get hurt. Sent from my...

I bought a truck a while back. It's an international 4700 bucket utility. It weighs 21,000 empty. It might see 22,000 with another guy and all my tree gear. Anyway, it's seems like a good motor. I did a lot of reading on them and it leaves me with a question. My truck does not go fast up hills...

I have, what I guess, is an electric hydraulic valve. It quit working but it has a push button over ride. I'm wondering if anyone knows what triggers it to open? So basically none of the boom controls work until I press the button in. When I press the button, it revs the engine quick like when...

I painted my bucket that I recently got. I have to do another coat and the cab. And I have to do the white on the boom. I also painted my chipper. I'm happy with the results. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

My bucket has small clearish tubes going to the joystick. Are they plastic air lines that actuate the lower controls? Are they fragile? Do they get brittle? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

My lower boom cylinder drips after its relaxed. I want to have the seals replaced. Can I remove the cylinder with the boom in its cradle? How heavy are they? Roughly what is the cost to have it fixed? Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
