    So as I ponder chippers you guys and gals get to answer all my annoying questions

    I have a woodchuck wc12 with a 4 cylinder John deer diesel that will be for sale soon. Sounds like the perfect machine for you. Light weight with plenty of balls and an bullet proof motor.

    Thanks for the feedback. I usually try to educate the customer and try to stress the tree as a part of the ecological setting. Sometimes I get through sometimes I walk knowing they didn't listen to a thing. I'll raise a glass with you gents. Thanks a bunch.

    Well as the end of the month draws near another deadline is missed by a company who obviously does not care about their customers.

    This past winter I decided to have a chip truck built with a platform behind the cab for my mini. I spoke to SouthCo and Arbortech. They both said that they were 8-10 weeks out and they were close on price. A friend of mine had Arbortech build him a truck and spoke very highly of the whole...
