    Gas engines on chippers...

    Yeah, this one has 130 on horsepower, dealer said to make up on torque loss. Spins a little quicker also to compensate. Dealer states less general maintenance though not as long life as the diesel. He talked about the recovery being much quicker and time saver in the big picture. We will demo...

    Planning on demo day for both and see. Gas version is about 1200 lbs lighter too I believe and more compact. Got it on the drum, thanks. Will let you know what I find out.

    Gas engines on chippers...

    Looking to replace our chipper, if we can would like to get a new one. Looking at Bandit and the 990x, GM 4.3 gas in it. The 250 is diesel and 10k more. Any one have any experience or thoughts on the gas engine. I def like the diesel for longevity, can see the little stuff that would make...

    Altec Chippers

    Thanks fellas. We do have insurance and they are going to reimburse us but of course starting out pretty low to replace the chipper. For us, most that are in our range are out of state, which is what I had to do for first one. Also buying a used one and don't want to get it then put alot of...

    Altec Chippers

    Our truck and chipper got rear ended and totaled the chipper, beat up the truck. Looking at replacing the chipper now. Would prefer the Bandit but can't find too many in my range. Found a nice sounding and looking Altec DC1217 for sale. Don't know much about these though. Any thoughts...

    Attachments for Dingo 1000

    We are in residential areas primarily and chipper only, no grapple. Sounds like BMG is the way to go for now. Yes, both nice but......I'm in CO. What is the story if I buy from you? Shipping, price, timing..? Thank you for the response. Chad

    Attachments for Dingo 1000

    We're going to pull the trigger on this next week hopefully. Looking at the grapple attachments and wanted some advice. Looks like Toro has the Anbo Grapple, forked bucket deal with hydraulics. Looks like most people here have the clam shell type grapple like the Erskine 3 pt grapple. What's...

    hacks and toppers

    Most of my honey bee removals are form big old silvers with huge pockets of decay. Still bright green and full of leaves. Fortunately not a lot of severely topped ones around here. Weak sealers, crazy sprouters, cool trees and great for bees.

    Constant problems with 372

    Yes on the choke and being a little sensitive to start it seems. Has been running much better lately. Seems after we got a few tanks of fuel through it much better. Yes, after it floods pain in the hiney. Take the plug out,dry and usually gets going. Little more temperamental than I was...

    Two-way radios

    We use Sena, some problems with getting them hooked up sometimes, especially with someone new, ie crane operator. Prob user fault, otherwise great. More durable than I thought.

    Tuning saws.

    Trying to be better about doing our own saws more. Maybe silly question, sorry if so. When tuning, need the chain on to do correctly. On bigger saws would be nice to have just the powerhead but seems like the chain should be on to get it right...right? We do have tach and some experience any...
