Yeh it’s a wet son of a…around here a good portion of the year. As you know well! I do find if I get good quality gear, that comes with a quality price and take care of it ie.hang it up nightly and boots on dryer you can get a season or two. As we all know there’s so many expenses in this game...
Very true. I’m definitely not one to skimp on quality gear. Especially if it makes the miserable days a little less miserable! I was just throwing out feelers see if anyone had experience with a unicorn pant they loved! Haa
Moved away from the grundens bibs of death years ago. Been rocking some half zip grundens pants for a couple years worked pretty well and way less sweat suit. Want something like my kuiu yukons but don’t want to shred a $300 pair of pants in a season. Anyone have good recommendations on durable...
Haaa. Depending on the day I won’t argue with you. I may have spent a few thousand hours and miles chasing tides and flow charts up in your neck of the woods! Both beautiful places, can think of worse spots to be! Haa.
Thanks, hopefully it finds a good new home and I don’t kick myself in the...
Maybe I’ve gotten lucky with my anvil gaps. Knock on wood never had a clog with this machine. I was shooting at 90 degrees off forward last week for 15 plus yards with no problems. The mini is definitely my go to chipping method. Only time will tell how we will mesh with the winch.
Vermeer...
Yeh, I hope I don’t regret the winch on my new chipper with as much as I machine feed. Have been allot of jobs lately felt like a winch would have been very useful and freed up the mini for other tasks . See if the trade off is worth it.
I think drums the way to go. Had a 12xpc that made...
@Merle Nelson. Thanks for the kind words on condition. It’s a damn nice chipper and well taken care of. I just dont want to deal with bandit and Cat separately and was wanting to make a change.
Im not sure why we had lower feed wheel bearing failure so early. When it’s fed with the mini we...
Selling my 2018 15xpc Cat Diesel 430 hrs. Purchased a new 18xp finally showing up next week! Listed on marketplace but figured I’d throw it up on here as well. If you live in the NW welcome to test drive any time.
Chipper was on an Fmi lot in Texas. I bought it brand new from FMI with full...
Everything written above is good info! My first chip truck was a Ram 3500 that I converted into a dump bed. I found a broken down Chevy with an electric hydraulic flat bed. Along with the help of a a good friend that is a great welder / fabricator we swapped the beds and I built wooden sides...
Haaaa. I agree with everything said in the last few posts. Vermeer are a pain in the ass and don’t compete with bandit. I will say the 1500 I ran was not bad. It had vertical feed wheels and I wrote it off before it even started. I too feed exclusively with mini and I stuffed the sh”t out of...
