    If you could only have 3 saws..... AND THE REMAINDER OF YOUR ARSENAL

    020T 16" 562xpw 24" ported 592xpw 32" Glad I dont have to have just 3 but these can definitely do most everything for me.

    If you could only have 3 saws..... AND THE REMAINDER OF YOUR ARSENAL

    I take it you're liking the 540 mk3, has husky figured it out now vs. original t540?

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I like how low profile that bed sits.

    Ms261c

    I'm still rocking the mk1 550xp. I've run both 261 and the new 550 and I'd stay husky. 261 feel lighter but cheaper like you said, power is definitely better on the 550

    Bandit 12XP & Winch Capabilities Video

    Got any pics of your winch setup for the mini skid? A guy in our area has one rigged up with some ungodly amount of line on the spool. Seems like a great tool for certain stuff. I have a lewis winch as well, it's one of those invaluable tools when you need it but sits in the shop 99% of the...

    Bandit 12XP & Winch Capabilities Video

    I would never have a chipper without a winch. I machine feed alot but sometimes the winch gets used all day when a machine cant get to it. Makes those little notch and watch trees so effortless too, just winch em in and go. I've always used a steel biner or snap on mine but recently I've put a...

    Sketchy Locust (hollow)

    That last stump looks like just a bunch of strips of callous tissue. Nice work Keeth!

    Alternative to clove hitch for rigging short trunk sections

    Not a huge fan of the clove. I've had one roll out (with half hitches). Cow hitch with better half has always been reliable and grips well. Round turn with two halfs or a running bowline to finish is very secure as well. Usually a running bowline with a marl is my go to for negative rigging,..

    Big saw purchase.

    I'll second the 592xp, lighter than a 395 and more power than the 661. 32" bar is pushing it on a 70cc saw in my neck of the woods but a 661 will own it.

    Arbpro Andrew Cervino chainsaw boots sz 42.5

    Best rope bridge

    I use the ropeman on mine. Those petzl grabs are really great but I like having the paw every once in a while.

    What's your favorite BOOTS ?

    i've done loggers, la sportiva/scarpa, and am on my 3rd set of arbpro evos. The 2nd gen are much better in spikes than the originals. My only complaint is they don't last as long as the la sportiva or scarpa mountain boots but are much better for spikeless climbing imo. Price is also reasonable...

    The Hoeflon C10

    @oceans Do you reckon the C10 can be put on a truck like some of the spider lifts? The outriggers look a bit different, maybe it doesn't lift as high?

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Cool, small (6-12") chipper and a pickup with a dump insert would be great for that.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I'm back to putting the mini skid in the chip truck and dragging the chipper for most of my jobs. It's one more unhook/hook of a trailer and is pretty quick to load and unload. I have lots of spots to get rid of chips and can usually chip or ditch the wood somewhere. The chipper winch is also...

    WTB BMG Broom/Rake or similar

    Give branch manager a call, I'll bet they'll build you one for your mini ex. I can see how the nylon forklift broom like five points built would be better on grass. The BMG rake is great on a lot of things but you gotta be careful on lawns

    Business checking account

    Mobile deposits are a huge timesaver. That would definitely be on my must list. My local bank only requires a positive balance, no minimums and no fees of any kind. Very different experience from the big banks.

    Business checking account

    Local banks are generally much more receptive when it comes time to borrow money or just having a line of credit for your biz. If you have a bank your using personally and like them then keeping it the same works too. A good online banking setup makes getting paid and taxes much more...

    looking for my first truck and trailer.

    Used prices are crazy right now but if you're ready sometimes you can't afford to wait. A one ton dump and a 10-12" chipper can make you a lot of money to get you going. I have a buddy that went the other direction with a dump trailer/mini skid as his first setup. For us, dump fees are...
