    Echo dcs 3500t

    I've had the same experience. Even throwing the batteries in the cab it's a little iffy. At least the blower works...

    Teach me about dump trailers

    It's just a receiver tube welded on with some gussets, $30 and half an hour well spent

    Teach me about dump trailers

    I've been happy with my Durahaul 6x12. It has 7k axles but derated it to 10k on the sticker so I can drag it around with my f-550. Weighs a little under 4k empty with 2x12" extensions and a bunch of chains and binders in the toolbox. I've hauled 5+ tons of gravel in it and probably a bit more...

    F250 Dump Thoughts

    I use these sometimes with the truck camper on my srw f-350. Pop the little pads out of the overload leaf contact point on the frame and bolt these in. Keeps the truck on the overloads instead of off & on again which IMO causes the tippy sway feeling with a high COG load. Theres a company called...

    Chipper winch line protection

    A couple feet of 1/4" G100 chain and a choker hook works great. It's as long as the fairlead "spout" on the winch so it doesn't wrap the drum when reeled in all the way On bigger logs it still rides at the bottom to protect the winch line. Had to file the opening on the hook a fuzz so 1/2"...

    F250 Dump Thoughts

    How's the 7.3 been for you? I've had a 6.2 for a few years now and it's been a great truck. The high elevation passes sure make it work hard towing though, wondering if the 7.3/10spd combo might be enough to avoid newer diesel headaches. @Keeth Do you still have your pickup with the dump insert?

    Suighara chain

    I bought a couple loops of the sugihara chain. I haven't used it much other than bucking up some aspen firewood at the house. It's full chisel, seems to cut well and hold an edge maybe a little better than oregon, I am assuming the steel will be a little harder to file like stihl chain.

    Monkey Beaver 2.0 - newb questions

    I've been working in the og monkey beaver for several years now. I actually like the little leg strap keepers. Coming from the onyx they keep them from rotating and I don't find that they ride up my thigh very often. I have the leg pads hang just above the back of my knee, so almost as low as...

    Work Photos

    So many limbs on this little toad of a Blue Spruce. Was able to speedline 70% of them to get them facing the right way, but still filled the lz 4 times

    Onyx saddle chainsaw holder placement?

    I climbed on an onyx for a few years, had a big paddle carabiner and then the rock exotica transporter when it came out. My only gripe about the saddle was concerning the "saw hanger". A bigger saw would roll that carabiner down into a pressure point on my hip and give me a dead leg at the end...

    Branch Manager 38 Special Stump Grinder

    38 special stump grinder for sale. I bought this a few years ago with a blown motor. Replaced with a new 38hp EFI Kohler. Used very occasionally (hour meter not working) I also chopped the fullsize skid steer mount up and welded on a mini skid attachment plate (Fits dingo, ditchwitch, etc) Sold...

    Jobber Software

    Quote to job to invoice is about all I do, and being able to get paid via CC is helpful as more people abandon their checkbooks.

    Jobber Software

    I wish they would sell a stripped down, less expensive version. I don't use many of the features anymore and it's a bit pricey for what I am using.
