    Leak on ditch witch 1050

    We have a minor hydraulic leak on one of the inlet hoses to the pump. I’m not sure why there’s two inlet hoses but we tried to tighten the hose clamp and it was tight like tiger. Started when it got real cold. I thought it was like coolant hoses when they shrink in the cold weather. Any ideas or...

    Best chainsaw pants for longevity

    A cheap pair that won’t last isn’t very cheap. I’d rather spend more money for something that lasts. These guys don’t climb.

    Best chainsaw pants for longevity

    I’m outfitting my three workers with chainsaw pants since they hem and haw about chaps. Im concerned about them not lasting long with dragging brush. I was recommended the dogwoods from arborwear but some reviews have panned them for ripping on brush.

    Two things i feel the hhxf has over hitch based srs devices is the hitch is on the top so your glove doesn't get sucked in when descending. The other thing is that the hhxf requires less force input to initiate the decent. very easy to engage.

    Chipper drum failure

    I wonder how bad that chipper was rocking when he ran to shut it down. Prolly like me at an open bar wedding. Also, when the drum is replaced or repaired are they going to do the bearings too? I'd find it hard to get them off without taking a torch to them
