    Woodsman Brush Chipper

    x2 on the Woodsman being LOUD!! Compared to your 200, it will seem like a huge machine. They are not nearly as well made as the equivalent Bandit or Morbark chippers, but any 15" machine will increase production.

    Calculation of pic weight accuracy

    We use mainly use three different cranes and the operators all lie to us by varying degrees. One always tells us he is good for 2500 when he's actually good for 5000. Another will say he's good for 4000 when he's good for 5000. My favorite is the one who likes to dicker with the weight: I'll...

    which boots should I get? + Climb right spur issue

    Yes. If you put them side-by-side, the X2 pads are identical in profile, but there is an additional inch going down the shank that allows for higher adjustment. I first purchased the green Climb Right pads to try on my Bashlins and Kleins. They felt great with the Bashlins, but were too low just...

    which boots should I get? + Climb right spur issue

    I second oldoakman's assessment. The Climb Right spurs do not have enough adjustment for taller climbers. If you order the black pads they put on the Stein X2's, they are longer and will give you the extra inch you need to get the pad in the right position. I liked the pads on the X2's enough...

    Best rope for ddrt??

    Yale XTC stays round, interacts with hitch cord well, had great knot holding ability, and is not that bad for ascending devices. I have some of the red and white that is 12 years old and it is still in great shape. As I have abused it, all of those sections are now retired to tag lines, but it's...

    Traveling With Gear

    Should have mentioned that I put extra zip ties in the bag attached to the note.

    Traveling With Gear

    I've flown several times with my climbing gear. Everything was packed in a duffel bag with a good nylon zip tie in lieu of a lock. If you put an itemized sheet on top of all your gear along with a note requesting they put another zip tie back after checking the bag they will. It doesn't hurt...

    What is safer? Lifts or climbing?

    Regardless of whether or not you're operating an aerial lift or climbing, I think properly trained people are safer. Sure there are those special cases when one approach is obviously more preferable than the other, but on average, I don't think the comparison is fair. Climbers, especially...

    Bandit 1890 HD 250hp John Deere Chipper for sale

    Hey David, I didn't realize your design was a generation older than mine. The infeed is straight through, that is actually preferable to what mine has. When Carlton started making their drum machines they actually copied the design of your chipper. A friend of mine has the 18 inch Carlton and if...

    crane work- balancing vs standing

    For us it also depends mostly on the situation. If it's really tight where the chipper is set up we will lift pieces vertically so they can widdle off whatever is needed to handle the pick. Spider legs do minimize movement which is especially important with dead limbs that are prone to fall...

    Large Maple

    It appears that you still don't understand that I had NOTHING to do with this tree other than stopping by for a picture of one of the biggest maple stumps I've seen for some time. One of the county officials who was involved with the decision process (and WAS on site) said there was too much...

    Large Maple

    You're still crying over spilled milk. The tree was gone. That means past-tense. I did not remove this tree. I did not see anything other that what you see. To blame me for someone else's poor judgement is ridiculous. Perhaps it would be more beneficial to give us some instruction on how to...

    Large Maple

    So with two medium quality photos and minimal information you have determined that the tree did not need to be removed? I've got respect for your passion, but you need to reevaluate the condescension. I don't know where the rest of the tree went, but I thought it was cool that someone was...

    Large Maple

    Too much decay up top. I think it had been topped numerous times. The guy who took it down had to reschedule twice because of tree huggers not wanting it to be taken down. One has to wonder where they were over the many years it was being hacked on...

    Large Maple

    Saw this on the way to lunch. It was a large Silver Maple that had been in decline. It was located next to a school and had been dropping pretty large pieces over the last couple of years. Shame to see it go... These guys were planning on making some tables out of it. Cool to see it get...
