Eight weeks or less. Maybe six, but no more than eight. I think I’m a week in. I explained to the guy how it couldn’t be like what I went through with the bucket, that was clear right up front.
I know, those annoying ****ers that want us to cut everything into beer can sized firewood are now going to piss me off even more than normally. Lol

I just checked out the specs on that bandit chipper. That thing is huge. Big wood eater. With the larger chippers, are the winches more powerful?
I think it’s the same as you would find on any new 18 or 15xp. Bandit has redesigned their winches with additional safety features which are both good, and bad at the same time. The line has to be “docked” while chipping, but there’s an override so you can get the piece started. Hard to explain. The positives are (hopefully) no more line chipping and they are gear driven and rated for something like twice what the old style were. Now they’re like 5k lbs or more.
But yeah, it’s a beast. I’ve got it configured with the tongue a foot longer and a manual chute, so I can put it backwards to tow behind the new bucket. I did spring for the hydraulic jack to help with all that.

I got covered with dog poo today. Feet, pants, hands, and arms. I had so much on me I found some on my bare hand as I ate a Cliff Bar.
Sounds like a ****** job

Storm damage everywhere after this Nor-easter blew through us. I'm glad I am retired sitting by my fire.

Yea, this nor’easter kicked lil rhody’s butt. Trees down everywhere. I got a crane guy who’s giving me a couple hours here, an hour there, etc. I just get the job prepped and have him come in for the pick. Making money [emoji384]!
