    15XP vs 15XPC

    My 2011 F150 gets Yeah I’m a little bummed out with the prices. I really want a winch, which would increase 5K on top of that, it’s pretty ridiculous. For the price of a chipper you could borderline buy a good used grapple truck.

    15XP vs 15XPC

    Can’t believe the 15 XP is at $3000 upgrade. Everyone was telling me it’s 8 to $10,000 more. Somebody was telling me they thought the 6.2 was actually a more fuel efficient V8 for a chipper. I wonder if the bigger drum uses less fuel for chipping brush vs the smaller drum on the XPC.

    15XP vs 15XPC

    Just quoted today 61.5k for a 165hp 15XPC with a 40 gallon fuel tank, clear curtains, double teeth on the bottom feed wheel, fuel saver, and a spare tire. NO Winch. The same build for the 15XP was 64.2k. Literally a $3000 difference to get the 15 XP. Not really adding up to me, unless they’re...

    Soil drench versus trunk injection?

    So are there any case studies/actual scientific research that anyone can cite that shows testing between soil drench and trunk injections for effectiveness? Mostly pertaining to borers. The more I ponder soil drenching, especially in some of our sandy soil’s in Tulsa, the more I wonder about...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    So really it just started with me knowing tons of tree stuff haha. I have been a Certified Arborist for 5 years, and have studied the last 5 years to gain my BCMA. I will be taking the BCMA in 2-3 weeks. I have a library with all 32 books for that exam, so if any company asks me a tree...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    So it depends on the week but I would say 70% of it is pruning. The rest is composed of soil remediation/root work, construction protection planning, tree lightning protection system, tree supplemental support systems, tree appraisals, general tree health consulting/diagnosis, and soil testing...

    15XP vs 15XPC

    I am setting our goals for next year and we are pretty sure a 15” chipper is what we want. We work primarily residential, and about 5% of our sales this year have been removals, “we are a tree preservation company“. Honestly we only need a 12 XP as that would be suitable for all of our work, but...

    Does Morbarks paint just suck?

    Why is it that all the used red Morbark chippers look so crappy after a few years compared to all the other machines? Is it because they seem to be more common up North where they used road salt? Does their paint process just suck? Brush Bandit uses Imron I know.

    Starting A Business

    Yep that’s what I did. 2% of our sales here in Tulsa consisted of removals last year. About 8 tree service/care company’s in town send consistent work to us because they know we know our stuff, and because we do all of the “arborist stuff” no one else is doing. Niche market for sure. Best part...
