    Tri state forestry equipment in Philly !!!!! Avoid

    When I was a kid a friend and I rode our bikes to the horse races. After watching them for a while we talk a guy into placing a bet for us. That house didn't finish but the next race we asked him again and again he did. This time the horse finished second and we won some money. So we gave...

    Sorry but I'm just seeing this message. If you still want to talk to me about it just send me...

    Sorry but I'm just seeing this message. If you still want to talk to me about it just send me an email with some pics. I would like to know why this truck is an issue for CARB. It shouldn't be. Its an 06, under cld. You should not have to do anything to it until 2023 or so.

    Can you help diagnose whats wrong with my chipper?

    You'll need to take it to a mechanic. It has a Cummins diesel not a Ford. There is no way to talk you through this, its way too complicated. So just take it to a Cummins shop.

    f450 4x4 dump GVW/CGW? (california)

    The gross vehicle weight ratio (GVWR) is 15,000. The combined GVW (with a trailer) is whatever you want to make it. That truck can haul up to 10,000 lbs and still be under CDL. So you can do a CGVW of 25,000 if you want but most guys do it at 20,000 lbs. Just figure in whatever your chipper...

    f450 4x4 dump GVW/CGW? (california)

    Do they want net weight or gross weight. Your gvw is 15,000. I don't know the net weight but it should be around 9,000 lbs or so.

    First truck and chipper

    That's a real old Chipmore I think. Never seen one with a Wisconsin but that sure looks like a Chipmore drum. Wisconsin is a good engine. Keep the fins clean, valves adjusted, gas fresh. Do NOT jump start. Charge the battery first. If you have to jump it, unplug the voltage regulator and...

    Bandit chippers

    There is no difference that I'm aware of. Even the id tags will leave out the xp sometimes. It is just marketing. The older units were just 250's then at some point the added the xp for "extra power".

    Woodsman Brush Chipper

    Oh and that thought that, 'its such a good deal that something must be wrong with it', is nonsense.

    Woodsman Brush Chipper

    I'll never understand why Bandit and Morbark mess with their model numbers. A 1590 with 18" capacity, 140 hp and weighing 9900 lbs is really a 1890. Why the hell do they do that? I'll never understand this and it's a pet peeve of mine. There is something inherently dishonest about it. I...

    New stumpers

    I believe it is a tier 4 interim engine. The engine tag has it conforming to 2010 EPA and CARB standards. That makes it a tier 4. Its the tier 4 "final" that Vermeer is having trouble with. However I could be wrong.
