    My Silky Collection

    What a load of shiit. Sounds very high strung to me... No other brands, ha. A pair of Felcos and a zubat is all you need.

    Estimate Rigs

    F250 diesel with logos. About to switch that to the crew and drive a Tacoma. To me, it doesn't matter what you roll up in, as long as it is presentable and has company signage/logos.

    Gas engines on chippers...

    Not sure to the truth of this, as it's dealer stated, but fuel consumption between the 84hp Perkins and 89hp GM gas are basically the same. Same with torque and hp at running rpm. Not sure about the 130hp GM gas vs comparable diesel (122hp perkins, I think). Either way, I don't trust new tier4...

    Gas engines on chippers...

    I'm about to purchase a 990xp with the 130hp gas as well. Just makes sense! Lower maintenance costs, can get parts over the counter, they have a good warranty on the motor and standard bandit guts warranty. By the time the gas engine is shot, use the 12g you saved and upgrade again!

    1987 S-1900 International Flatbed Dump / Gooseneck Hitch

    Adam is a fantastic seller and his equipment can be trusted. I purchased an F550 from him sight unseen and had it shipped to Oregon. Everything was as described and great guy to work with.

    Drum verse Disk

    You'll like the 150/200 series. I have a 1995 150xp. Got it this year with 650 hours. Thing chips like mad! As mentioned, keep knives sharp and anvil gap tight. My Isuzu NQR (4cyl diesel) will pull the chipper and 12yds of chip with ease. Slow going up hill...

    meanwhile....in Hong Kong

    I saw a pic on treehouse today of the tree before removal. Big curved norfolk, hence no redirect I would presume. http://masterblasterhome.com/showthread.php?17866-tree-climbing-fail/page7

    ISA test question

    I wouldn't look at it as how many you can miss... Focus on have a well rounded knowledge of every aspect and focus on answering them all! Do the practice test questions until you have them down well, the book and cd's are all you really need to pass.

    $ and cents

    Running my own show now and on every job, I simply tell my guy how many hours I anticipate. When I worked on crews, I saw both ways done. If you're trying to collect after each job and not on-site, the crew boss needs to know a dollar figure and what to bill out if additional work is added.

    Efficiency: economics vs. ergonomics

    Very true pelorus, that's when market knowledge and experience come into play. You can adjust your rates in order to stay competitive depending on the job, but overall I'd say that daily gross should be higher due to higher production and efficiency. I'm no business guru, just trying to wade...

    Efficiency: economics vs. ergonomics

    I have the same problem here. Guys still price jobs at $60/manhour even with larger equipment. Their thinking is get more jobs done in a day, still make daily quota (say $1000). X-man had a good analogy about bidding with a job with a 'climber/truck', 'bucket', and 'crane' packages. Prices...
