    Bucket truck question

    The other thing I considered with a bucket truck or forestry truck is that when we're set up the chipper is right there under the work. At least for the tracked lifts you can still have the chipper and in our case the 14-foot dump trailer off to the side and out of Harm's Way. So unless these...

    Bucket truck question

    We actually really want a tracked lift like an OMME type, but there's no way with us being such a small outfit right now we could afford one. I think if I looked right payments on a unit like that are like $1,300 a month, we are hoping to make the step to full-time next year but there's no...

    Subbing out cleanup

    How may of you sub out the cleanup of your work? Or portions of it/ extent of it. How do you handle it? There's been times we would live to just get the tree or trees down, chip up what we have to, and move to another job to fit 2 jobs in 1 day, but the bucking up of wood, loading it, and final...

    Bucket truck question

    Another question I had is, what's the yard capacity on most forestry trucks. I believe I've typically been seeing 22' dump beds, but I don't know width or height.

    Bucket truck question

    Not looking too old. Lol I had heard everything from 10 years to 25 years old and it won't get an inspection. We're Looking less than 10-12years old. I Mostly wanted to know because if we find one that looks solid and everything works, I don't want to waste money having an inspection crew...

    Crawler Lift purchase

    Id love a link of where to see prices of new and used tracked lifts. Every search I so just leads me to info in them. I found 1 place with some prices, but only on the cheap ass tow behinds. Nobody anywhere in my area has one of these and I know I could sell it to customers as a point of safety...

    SPIDER LIFT TREE WORK PICS

    We want to go the tracked lift route over a bucket truck ( more access to more trees) but the cost has us leaning towards a truck in the spring. After seeing these in action on here, I'm re thinking

    Bucket truck question

    We're Looking to buy a bucket truck in the spring possibly. It won't be a new one, but we heard somewhere that in Massachusetts, if it's over a certain age, you can't get the boom inspected/certified?? Any info on this would help. Don't yet know our budget. Have seen a few older trucks thst...

    Well that sucked

    I'm still reluctant to even do white pines now, it's more than just this incident, but they've always sketched me out. I still do them, but I do as little rigging off them as possible, do as much cut and chuck as possible. When I do have to rig, I keep it on the small side, proportionality.

    Weak infeed roller WC17

    We pulled the stator roller and it was fine, key way was perfect. That motor was good. We're suspecting it's a pressure issue and finally just dropped it off at Altec in Shrewsbury,Ma on Friday.

    Weak infeed roller WC17

    Will try, unfortunately my partner thinks because she knows cars he automatically knows chippers too, I don't even Think he looked anything up, he's stubborn. So I'm trying to give my guidance, but I don't think he'll listen.

    Weak infeed roller WC17

    We are suddenly having a weak feed on our 12" chipper. Fairly recent hydro filter and oil change. One problem we've been repeatedly having is blowing hydro pump seals. If the rollers jambed for even a little bit, bye bye seal, always have to throw it in reverse to keep it from happening...

    Rope wrench zk1 issue

    He gave up on it, went to the HH2 I had, much more success. The hitch wasn't binding with the wrench. That moved down fine. He could take all the slack out of the hitch and still wouldn't move
