domesticated wood chucks

This morning on my way to see a customer about some work, I pull into his short private road and see 2 of the little bastards walking across the road. I pull into the driveway and walk up the walkway. About 3 feet away in a garden was another one of the suckers chewing on some shrubs. I stepped back and it casually walked off. Wasn't scared of me or anything. I saw another one at the same place yesterday on the lawn. I would have SWORN that the thing stood up on its hind legs and waved hello to me

 

[Kevin]

If you ever find one on the road don`t throw it away, they`re good to eat.

And she works as hard as i do Plus she takes care of the equipment She knows if it gets broken WE have to replace it. We removed 2-36" DBH Red oaks last week in a day and a half With the bucket truck of course Most people dont believe how fast we can get a tree down and proccessed.

 

[budroe69moni]

we're thinking about heading up to charleston labor day weekend....... how far away are you from the ocean??????
budroe

[DDM]

I'm 5 Hrs from charlston. LOL I havent been there since i was a kid.

Lets see i've got
2 pickups
2 Dump trucks 1 ton Dumps
1 Chipper a Chuck'n Duck Which I simply Love
1 Bucket truck
1 Skid steer
2 Trailers
LOL My wife claimed my new pickup after i sold her Car The nerve!

 

[treeclimber165]

Speaking of processing a tree, I gotta tell you that Brett's Morbark Hurricane chipper is the baddest mutha I have ever run! Brett doesn't have any big wood handling equipment, but that chipper makes wood practically a non-issue. Chips anything up to about 13"-14", and packs the truck tight. Chips are beautiful, too. Makes giving them away much easier.




(I made a mistake, the chipper is a 'Tornado model 13', not Hurricane)

 

[DDM]

Does the hurricane have a winch or a grapple? I need something like that then i would need a bigger chip truck

 

[budroe69moni]

DDM,
where do you park all the trucks and who drives'em all??????
budroe and the captian ( i'm sail w/ capt morgan tonite!!!!
