    Rope sleeve or cambium saver for rigging

    I use rrfs and all sorts of setups. However, years ago I tried a cambium saver but melted through it in no time. So I don’t use or recommend it personally.

    Small stumper project

    Is anybody sitting on an old ‘self propelled’ (not truck mounted stump grinder that has seen better days, not working parked out back project kind of stumper? Likely foolish but thinking about a project. Not a manual model. I posted this in general discussion then thought maybe this was the...

    Bear Cat Chippers

    The good thing about bearcats were they were lighter than say the bandits. We had 12” of each. The bad news is they were made of lighter steel. So I’m not saying it was a bad machine we put plenty through it but we did have bolts rip trough the steel and then the chute was fallen when we got to...

    Chip trailer

    Nothing in my fleet needed a cvor until I go up that truck size so the insurance hike is because my cvor is new I’m automatically high risk‍♂️ Driving them and bucket trucks for 15 years and having my DZ license is irrelevant.

    Performing Work for Clients Who You Will Never Meet Face to Face

    Hmm, I see trees all the time while people are at work or whatever and I email them a quote go do the work email a bill and accept etransfer as payment. So far I’ve been happy and lucky but I guess if it was a huge job maybe 1 mandatory site visit could be a thing.

    Chip trailer

    A chip truck is where I will likely end up. But I’m getting my cvor now and I was looking at a chip truck this fall but that 1 truck (a $3000) truck was going to bump my insurance up by $80,000/yr. With my size I didn’t want to take that hit yet and I’d rather put a 2nd crew out with our setup...

    Chip trailer

    That’s an option and what we are doing now but if I can roll out all in one it doesn’t matter which truck I use and the pole saw etc are longer than my truck box. But yes that’s how it’s running I’m just thinking what if and planning so I can do it right once

    Chip trailer

    Hey everybody Ideally you run a chip truck and a chipper 1 unit and you’re set. I’m setup a little different building as I go and it’s all based off the pickup trucks so far. The 1st trailer is my homemade chip wagon and for my first year it got me a long way. The 2nd trailer is close to...
