You didn’t even know what a tie off on the trunk was the other day. Basic **** 101. Nobody buys a Vermeer after a morbark. Besides Hunicke, show me another serious tree guy running a Vermeer. They get the job done, but they are the bottom dweller of the industry.

They just don’t stack up apples to apples. I’ve had 3 Vermeer grinders in the past that I fixed up to flip, just not up to par with the competition.
A tie off on the trunk? That wasn't a tie off moron. It was tied at the base and the guy then used the rope to go up through the tree, over the top and then down to use as a directional to tpull the tree over. Why tie at the base? Tie it up high as you can for better leverage and pull. But you knew that.
The BC 1800 is a standard in the industry around here. You may have a morbark dealership near you but that doesn't make it the best around. We have a morbark closer than the vermeer dealership and we also have a bandit dealership closer than vermeer. But I guess we're dumb and bottom dwellers. Or maybe we know what to look for in a machine and are willing to travel for it.

3 vermeer grinders? Thats a different animal altogether. Are you paying attention? We're talking about chippers. CHIPPERS.

He did that because he set the rope with a slingshot and had obstructions in the way from tying a running bowline. A quick tie off at the base of the trunk and he was good to go. No need to leave the ground to set the rope and he had it plenty high.

I have every dealer close to me, so that’s not an issue. Look at bc1800 used prices. They don’t hold their value like a bandit or morbark. I wonder why, that’s because they are inferior in the 18” category. Just like a mr15 or 15xp will spank a bc1500. I’m done arguing the facts. Look at the used market, that will tell you all you need to know.

And a m15r will spank a 15xp
 
If you guys are gonna be an upper echelon tree company you have to own a 20" 200 hp chipper or bigger. You can have a smaller one too but if that is all you got and you sub or own a crane then those little chippers like Cassedei got just gonna slow down production.
 
My chipper has two 63.9 CID hyd. (twice the size of an 18xp) motors generating 10,824 pounds of pulling force and the monster top wheel is chain driven. You have no ****ing idea how bad this chipper would **** up that old paint rollered up piece of crap you been running for the last two decades as it barfs chips all over the tailgate and tongue/road, you annoying old geezer… lol. Just saying.

And the bandit guy told me (after I had already gotten my machine) that the Deere 173 can easily keep up with the older Cummins 200hp engines. And I could have it turned up if I wanted to (which I don’t, cuz it’s perfect). 43E1BFA3-D865-42C2-8981-282D7DB61E40.jpegA06F8337-FA67-4236-92AC-F164EDB33E2A.jpegD44768E0-3E46-4FC5-8E39-856EBA9C33A1.jpeg9927B0D4-B254-4D02-960B-861314616F5D.jpeg
 
You got Lovsdumb sking your lyin dck now. . Huge lol. What is that toothpick you running thru...maybe 10" dia? My chipper would chip your chipper up and spit out little sissy chippers like what yours is...uh ....lol.

AAAAaaand I asked my Butt Bandit dealer if my little 170 hp diesel could keep up with Treevet's mean ole 200 hp turbo diesel Cummins cuz that fkn Treevet always gets the best of me on my tree guy's forum. You know what he said....wanna hear it....well he said of course it would sonny...just keep sending in those finance payments.

For the greatest, most experienced treeman in the world, everything you say is sounding more and more unintelligible and baseless, and everyone can see that, Dave. Just saying.

Like your statement that an elevator doesn’t add side reach to a bucket. It may not increase the radius, but it’s, much, much more usable with the fourth function of the 10’ elevator. Anyone that’s ever flown one knows that. The elevator is the king of bucket trucks. Only a fool would argue that fact (or the most experienced and refined Irish treeman in the world, lmao). But you’d much rather have the Puddle Skipper.

And I’m just not even gonna talk about the piece of crap paint rollered 18” chipper. LOL.

I don't have an 18" chipper dummy although that, the bc1800, is comparable to your Buttbandit but likely much better as it is a Vermeer, no brainer there.

Simple fact...the elevator goes up 10 more feet...that's it...period. It does not go sideways ANY further, adds a LOT more weight and a bigger truck to try and fit in spots (for just the 10' upwards gain).. You always talking "everyone knows" "everyone can see that"...how do you know that? That can't be ALL dummies you associate with?

Again a paint roller has never touched my chipper or any trucks. A few actually have imron paint but I am not that anal about the paint and the drill powered wheel shiner upper like You are. I think that may test out hi on the gaydometer. Just sayin...

Here is just a couple of sprayed pieces. I could go on and on. But to me...green is so fkn boring why even bother. NObody sees you coming down the street. Nobody.

that is actually a very nice truck and Hi Ranger if it runs and drives

Not going to argue with a 20 inch 6 cylinder diesel chipper. Different animal. I would add that if you are doing crane jobs day in and day out it’s worth having a grapple on the chipper. (And yes I ran one for the morning doing a crane job with a company I sub out this year. That’s a game changer. Forget the winch . )

No winch on the chipper ?

disagree with the grapple and even the winch when you have a dingo/grapple to feed stuff. I could have gotten the winch, didn't want one. To each his own.
