whadja do today?

[treeclimber101]

Guys brought chip truck into down town Cambridge knowing the chipper was empty. I got to the scene and found out they didn't bring a fuel can either, so I had to take the whole rig and find diesel in rush hour traffic. When I got back, I found out they didn't bring any 2stroke mix. I lost it.

On yourself ? The "buck" stops with you ! LOL

Ultimately yes it does. I pay 550 out before taxes/ins audits for a ten hour day between 3 guys. I expect that they can fill a fahkin chipper up with company funds and bring 2 stroke to the job site. That's not asking too much.

 

[treeclimber101]

I am guessing with a fleet card ?

 

[treeclimber101]

Seems with price of fuel it's an expense to me that I keep a close eye on

Feel your pain.....we had a crew run a truck out of gas....left it on the road....we go out to retrieve....they took the keys with them.

Not to mention the basketball goal they ran over earlier.

Phew....I'm glad I'm over in 101......You guys have a lot to worry about besides tree work!!!

 

[Stayalert]

As unsafe as working alone can be....at least I know who to blame for no fuel, etc....:rolleyes2:

 

[deevo]

Deevo! Do us a favor and post some more action shots of that lift at work. I'm drooling!

I am running a crew on an island job and it's out with another, I am back on it Monday, Tuesday and weds ..... Being on the islands fun!

 

[deevo]

No, I was out on a farm and had a track come off the mini. I never had one come off and didnt have much for tools with us and the vermeer dealer was omly nine miles away. We took lunch break and was up and running in less than an hour and now I know how to do it myself.

Cool that's nice they weren't too far away! How many hours ya got on yours?

"I" check them daily , and fill them accordingly ! I mean I also check my boat before I go fishing to make sure my poles are there. Just seems like common sense

600 some, mine has the gas motor.

 

[deevo]

Well it was a very foggy ride over to the island today, took over the chipper, at one point you couldn't see 5' in front or side to side..... Pretty unnerving ! But 10 mins into the ride it cleared and smooth sailing!

To me "common sense" is Jackassery

Ran the new bandit 6" today all around the island, put 6 hours on the clock, ran way better then I thought! By far 100 times better then the Vermeer or any other 6". I am so used to running a 12" but it did a really nice job and I am pleased with it!

My next one will be diesel. I havent really dragged brush since I bought it.

 

[OLD OAK]

Dropped my chipper off at the brush bandit dealer today. I Put a injection pump on it and it did not help so it is beyond me. Only running on 2 out of 3 cylinders and has a bad vibration. Thinking it has engine damage. They have a used 2006 rayco rc12 there i will be trying out on Monday, 86 hp non turbo cat engine cil lift with down pressure and auto feed. The discharge shoot looks short to me but idk. Anyone used one? I will be going from a old 9 inch to this one so to me it might feel like the best thing in the world. We will see Monday.
