    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Sorry man we really didn’t talk about it other than that it is the same machine mounted on a trailer and weighs less than 1k #s.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Had planned on doing it in Lansing on a job but that fell through. So we just did it at my house near Eaton Rapids. Was quoted 12k for the wheeled unit and 14k for the track unit. Which after using it seems fair.

    Sounded like Joe had several appointments set up here yesterday and today.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Okay so I’ll preface this post by saying I was kind of expecting to be underwhelmed by the Eliet Prof 6. In a lot of the videos it seemed like it was pretty slow. I just got a very preconceived “semipro” vibe from the machine. I expected to be pointing out how superior my Vermeer 935 is. To...

    Met Jeremiah today! Him and Jack are super nice and seem to be doing tree care the right way. It’s right there in the name of their company. They hate that Jansen chipper though. Pretty safe to say there’s probably an Eliet Prof 6 in their near future.

    I’ll try and take some pics and maybe a video. Although there are some good vids on yoohoo toob Dude said he was swinging through Detroit before coming here. Half thought maybe he was stopping to see you.

    Fair but the dude from Eliet USA answered the phone on a Saturday at lunch time. So already ahead of Vermeer.

    Well that escalated quickly. Looks like I’ll be demoing an Eliet prof 6 on Tuesday.:inocente:

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Uh, it’s self propelled. Both of those chippers are. In fact many of their other chippers offer that option as well.

    Now those are some Mini chippers I could definitely see using!

    Taryl vs the BR600 Bushing

    You and me both buddy on the spell checker! Darn fat fingers that aren’t as nimble as they used to be. I don’t really care for Walmart in general and will only shop there as a last resort. I think your statement about their oil could be a fair assumption. Even though the bottle says it’s...

    Taryl vs the BR600 Bushing

    Yeah wrong image entirely, but also not a professional lab setting either. Think more along the lines of Project Farm. More of a real world torture test. Try imagining several garage sale bargains with new top ends and other parts replaced as needed. He had rigged up a gallon gas tank to fuel...

    Taryl vs the BR600 Bushing

    I have a friend who did extensive testing to failure of several (couple dozen give or take) 2 stroke oils the Stihl ultra was bottom half of the pack for synthetics. He basically tested with continuous run time to failure in 2 stroke weed whips. This was done via private message over on the ope...

    Taryl vs the BR600 Bushing

    Exacerbated by the fact that Stihl ultra synthetic isn’t high quality 2 stroke oil. ;)

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    It will self feed long branches without much branchy material pretty well. Will not self feed super branchy stuff like callery pear, boxelder, northern red oak, etc. for example. They do have a 12”x6” opening at the bottom of that chute. Also for bigger branches I found it would often leave a...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    One good thing I can say about the chipper I linked (and the one Reg was using is a clone) is that it put out some beautiful chips. Didn’t matter what wood you put through it chips usually came out small and uniform. Almost landscape quality. They weren’t hard to sell the homeowner on keeping...

    Climbing gloves?

    Agree the 451s are definitely different than they used to be.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Had a similar setup for 3 years. Mine was an orange woodmaxx. Being able to turn the discharge chute on the woodmaxx was handy. You can see one of the drawbacks in the video. The intake chute would get jammed with brushy material and make it difficult to stuff more material in. It held up okay...

    Electric chip, bucket, and log trucks... chippers?

    Until the batteries such equipment relied on were cleaned up I’d pump the brakes on any desire for such a thing: https://www.euronews.com/green/amp/2022/02/01/south-america-s-lithium-fields-reveal-the-dark-side-of-our-electric-future

    Climbing gloves?

    Pick whatever medium duty semi disposable glove fits you the best. In the winter I like the atlas gloves
