Wind event

Was finishing up a Euc. trim today, pretty routine tell the wind kick up to about 30 miles an hour with gust of maybe 50. I only had one section left to do and it included climbing up a skinny leader growing from a old topping cut. I had to take out some 25 foot suckers and the wind of course was blowing towards the house.
One of the other climbers called the boss and told him about the wind, He told me the boss said if its to dangerous to just pack it up. Yeah right, I told him to put his purse down and lets finish the tree. I ended up doing it by my self, while the other climber helped with the clean up. Fine by me.
Went for a few good rides during big gusts. The wind would push me out into space with just my climbing line holding me. Poor old lady was terrified who owned the house.(I'm not above putting a little drama on a situation).
No big deal. Those guys think I'm crazy, when will they realize I don't want to die either, I wouldn't of been up there(for wages) if I thought it was dangerous. Kind of fun on an otherwise boring day

Weather update ??

There are some towns that got hit hard, one missed my town by a couple miles. The sirens were going off and the wife and kids were pretty scared. I was out side watching the sky and it was impresive watching the clouds swirling.

Went to decons equipment pig roast today. They are the morbark dealer for my area. They had lots if shinny new morbark chippers and boxer mini skid loaders. Great group of people. They gave away shirts carhart type jackets and hats. I got a morbark hat and t shirt and a decon dress shirt.

Boufht a ryans 4040 grapple for my mini yesturday for $1850. The guy only used it 2 times and had if for 2 years so its like brand new.

This side of the site has been hurting for awhile but it seems the virus bull#### is driving some nails in the coffin. Been a busy fall, doesn't appear to be slowing down any time soon either. Took Friday off to go get a pellet stove insert for the living room. Considered a wood burner but this thing is so ####ing easy to use I'm more than happy with it. And so is Laura, which is what's important. Installed in about a twelve packs time.

Chipper clutch is making some horrid noises, and all the sudden engaging way too soon. With any luck, these are the correct parts to remedy that situation. I've been sitting on them for a few years now. We shall see.

255 with the welded feed table 18-25 opening and a 173 deere.

I think it chips just like a 280 just a shade smaller in size. As of now I'm loving it, it's a lot lighter to tow than a 280 or a 2400. And chips just about the same

I am color blind but why is the infeed yellow and the chipper orange ? Or am just cracking up here , I feel stupid having to ask that !

The whole thing looks like bandit yellow to me. Betting he took the infeed pic in a lower light situation so it looks washed out by the flash. Im confused at the 18*25 infeed though. The 255's on bandit's site state a 15*25 opening. I like the weld down tray though. Ive had to watch the steep drives a bit closer but havent had an issue with mine yet.
