    SE Wisconsin rec climbers

    Go for it man. I met a guy in his late 60's this summer who said he's a rec. tree climber and he was loving it. Think through your climb carefully and use your head. The more hours you spend up there the better you'll get.

    How to grease this wheel?

    Reach, thanks for this info! I didn't realize these bearings aren't greasable. I've only had the chipper a year, and tow it about 20 miles per day on average, so maybe I've got some time before they need to be torn down and re-packed? I'm missing one of the dust caps, so another thing I...

    How to grease this wheel?

    It’s time to grease my Bandit 15xp wheel bearings, but how do you put a grease gun on this? It’s just a pin hole.

    First chipper...decisions

    Are you happy with the power and chipping speed of your new Bandit? I am considering buying a Bandit and am wondering if people are happy with the gas engine models.

    ISO firm climb line for DRT climbing

    I recently bought “Imori” climbing line. I like the soft feel it has, but it’s a lot more work to advance my hitch with the micro pulley. I find myself continuing to use my aging Arrow Frog line by Yale, because it’s firmness helps the hitch advance smoothly. Any suggestions for a firm...

    Workers Comp Insurance Agenet

    What about other employee related expenses, like payroll taxes etc? Is that easy enough to do on your own or is it smarter to have a payroll service do it. I have a feeling there are more expenses beyond the hourly wage you pay them and workers comp.

    Workers Comp Insurance Agenet

    I've always teamed up with other contractors, for quite a few years now. But, I am interested in what it would be like to have an employee but there is so much I don't know about it. The first question I ask myself is what would the TOTAL COST be for one employee. I know first of all...

    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    I agree that you made a good decision to go with Ditch Witch. I have the SK 750 and there is no operator sensor like the Vermeers have, so I've heard. This paid off last week, because we were carrying grapple loads of brush out of a steep backyard on 5 inches of snow. Kyle stepped off the...

    Mini Skids

    That sounds like a good idea, but actually I could only disconnect the small red wire at the battery terminal. The solenoid must be hidden under the starter. There is barely enough room to get your hands near the starter, and not where any wires connect unfortunately. But, the problem is gone...

    Mini Skids

    2015 Ditch Witch SK 750: Starting Problem On Friday my machine had been running and starting fine all day. At 2:30 I go to restart and just a click sound. The battery never acted tired. I had it tested and it was fine, but I got a fresh one just to rule that out. Yesterday morning we wire...

    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    If you can talk them down on the price a bit....might be a good one for you. I would have bought the SK 755 but they stopped making it just before I was ready to buy. The machine is the same weight as mine, but the Kubota is a turbo so you get 32HP instead of 25. If you want to buy new and get...

    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    Thanks for explaining how you do it. I'm hoping that if I keep the tracks tight enough by adding grease, I won't have a problem. I'll watch out for those little stumps.

    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    Haven't dented any rollers. It's been trouble free. The tracks need 1 or 2 pumps from the grease gun every 10 hours. I use a pressure gauge on the fitting that shows when it's enough. I hope I never throw a track...have you thrown one? How do you get it back on?

    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    I've heard the Dingo 525 is a good machine. Shaw tree service has one ...you could ask him about it. I heard him say he'd like more lifting height, and more lift capacity. They have a Kubota diesel engine. I've been really happy with my Ditch Witch SK750 that I got last February. It has tons of...

    Arborfest northeast

    That looks like a good opportunity to see the newest climbing gear and techniques. I'm interested! Looks like the fee is only $50. Who else wants to go and where are you going to camp?

    Wanted: chip truck, under CDL, diesel 4x4.

    I do like cab over trucks, but I need 4x4. I know Mitsubishi makes one, but I'm not sure it can handle the payload an F-550 or C5500 can.
