    LOR computer on my bandit

    I did this before on my other chipper and I just don’t remember how or how I learned how. You have to do it manually using the inputs. It just escapes me

    LOR computer on my bandit

    We replaced the lcd on the chipper and the rpm’s don’t match up to the engine. Display says 190 at idle but it’s prolly around 800. There’s nothing in the manual about adjusting this. Does anyone know how?

    changing the hydro oil in a terex 75 footer

    I was wondering how much oil comes out of the reservoir. The manual says the system is around 35 gallons but there's no way there's that much in the tank. Also, it specs 15w oil. That's super thin and I've never heard of it being used. Just want to get my ducks in a row before I pull that...

    Refusing irresponsible tree work

    Ive refused a job where a woman tried to get me to destabilize her black cherry by cutting the roots so it would fall on her neighbor's property. lot of good stories about her. I blocked her number.

    I've never used chains but was wondering if you buy them specifically for lifting or do you folks use transport chain

    Bumping this because of the vcs teeth. They do stay sharp longer and cut very well. However, you can’t install them with an impact even on low setting because they will break. Torqued down to 156 foot pounds with a torque wrench. Knowing that now will save me some sweat. I am going to...

    I did offer to bring a diamond blade and cut it, then smash it with a sledgehammer but they wanted it done on the bubble.

    Looking at a Vermeer 552

    about 10 years ago i did a bunch of removals and grinding at watch hill (taylor swift's hood) and there was a hung piece of ledge under a stump. I went through 10 teeth and got the whole stump done but there was a three cubic feet of rock sticking out of the ground and the people wanted me to...

    Looking at a Vermeer 552

    I like how there's easily replaceable wear plates on the wheel. The teeth have two sides to them so they can be flipped. I'm on the coast so there's nothing but rocks and ledge.

    Looking at a Vermeer 552

    It came with the VCS wheel system. Not completely hyped about that since tooth replacement is 30 bucks a pop but Jeff's Sharpening is about to start sharpening the carbide and he said they're on their way to re-tipping them.

    Bump, This machine is great. 30 percent more power than my carlton but more than twice the production. Changed all the filters in less than an hour and I'm impressed. So far I give this machine an A+

    Let’s talk about hook lift trucks

    The tag axel is great if you can add it after you buy the truck new. Having one on a new build will force you to pay excise tax on the truck. It's a lot of money. Just add it after.
