    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    Once you start using them you'll never go back. Or perhaps we're climbing more iffy trees?? Just having one on to dampen rigging loads or reduce climbing wiggle, even if the tree is solid, makes life more pleasant. Can then be the pull rope for the peg. We put in two to triangulate a dead oak...

    Inguinal hernia surgery today, back home and out of the trees for a month at least. Other side was repaired two world cups ago which is kinda fun, many hrs of fútbol ahead.

    Storing a branch manager

    Don't grab a log and disconnect, more pressure in lines will make re-attaching no fun. Also don't leave in the sun for extended time for the same reason. SOP: Open most of the way, turn off machine, cycle to relieve pressure then disconnect. As the arms are open you place those down then back...

    Oak Bramble?

    Annoying flip side is insurance company will pay for one. Had a storm damaged mult-stem ash yrs ago that had cracked and was bumping into the deck each puff of wind, "we only pay for it if the tree falls on the house"! So much cheaper one way but HO has to foot the bill, also if the insurance...

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    I'm missing what you're explaining if you could explain a different way? Using those as examples of how to run a porty?

    Portawrap minimun wrap, add'l wrap nomenclature

    As to calling out specific wraps, rig small to start then trust in the porty operator. Feedback if needed, but generally "same size, bigger, x diameter etc" and whoever is running ropes will make the call based on how the previous rigs go.

    basic noob trailer plug question

    Worth checking what the non-chipper trailers are wired to, you'll probably tow something else at some point.

    basic noob trailer plug question

    All ones in our area are these. As are dump and landscape trailers. But the Bartlett chip truck I just had shipped from NC was wired for the small six pin, so maybe regional??

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    That's been our experience no snap rings and no moving parts on what's left. Just a tight fit with surface rust, pretty wild how strong that holds. If I understand the comment, the bearing and race are all external, what's inside the rail housing is a non-moving straight shaft/rod that accepts...

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Looked back at an older thread and @Reach you mentioned heating the housing then cold water dousing the spindle. I'll give that a go tomorrow. Any sweet rigs to use a jack/press without pushing on the opposite track rail??

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Definitely why I stopped, it's been recommended and I strapped them together before jacking but was wary about that. Not entirely following but will think on that that is a separate piece like a tapered split washer that the bolt seats to. Same on the rear ones we replaced. After the bearing...
