    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Fighting with one and looking for any tips. Front idler bearing on sk800. Have replaced the rear ones 4(?) times but those are in a sliding housing that can be removed and taken to a press. Heated, pb blasted, 8lb sledge vs punches, tried a bottle jack against a shorty/broken punch.

    eastern white pine, lower third yellowing/thinning fast...not sure what it could be?

    Most of the white pine dieback in Maine they're pointing towards mult needle cast fungi with more wet springs followed by drought. Sadly seeing similar but more rapidly fatal red spruce dieback along the coast right now too.

    Should ICE follow the constitution?

    If only those in politics lost their jobs when empty promises and lies stacked up. The BS our country's system allows, on all sides, is embarrassing. Especially when as inhumane as this.

    SK800 information

    I used to stock them but now get the filter kits from Jesco as it is cheaper than getting all the individual ones and easy. Have them stick one in on a parts order next time (or see if it is still cheaper...)

    Haven't received refund yet, was supposed to be in the mail two weeks ago. Gear must ship faster I suppose.

    Rope grab recommendations for rigging

    Grcs or whatnot do all of that much easier for pretension and lift (we used to do 4:1 with prussic) and cleaner too. The rope jack seems to have its place too (not sure what cams it uses) and cheaper/lighter. We use prussics for 4:1 pull when a machine can't get there and like the failsafe of...

    Today....

    That brought me right back. Towing a friend's tiny house up a steep hill with a '02 3/4 ton chevy and something goes. He jumps out, pops the hood, and yells "FIRE". Fire extinguisher thx to his dad saved the day. Woof

    Today....

    Been waiting for good rain on this as it's on an island without running water etc. Clients just won't listen about longterm benefits of buying a small chipper to be out here, or just chop up the stuff to rot when they play with their tractor... Pretty silly to pay us to sit and watch a bonfire...

    What has everyone used to pull small brush/trees?

    Grapple on miniskid for invasives is mint. Bittersweet control seems to be folly without some chemical unfortunately. This was mainly bittersweet and multiflora, but shines with barberry.

    Neurodiversity thread

    This is an interesting part that I munch on regularly as I meet folks who have the full spectrum of relationship with a diagnosis. I saw a shrink who didn't like or believe one should put a name to it/diagnosis, in this case depression, as it was a self feeding wall to betterment or whatnot. A...

    TCIA WTF?

    I get their paper version and they've had a few months of it so far. Going to fewer issues/year according to the last one, hopefully means more meat per article and won't need to skim a forum for content.

    Late payments in my state are capped at 1.5% per month or 18% annually, not sure how that works with paying for something but not getting it, along with inflation? 10/2023 buy date...
