    Vents in chip truck dump box

    If you're freezing up during the cold nights, throw a jug of -30 washer fluid through the chipper at the end of the job and it will help to stop the frozen blobbyitis. Fun to watch too.

    Vents in chip truck dump box

    Haven't noticed a difference between my old truck that had them an my new one that doesn't. That's using a 80hp 200xp to fill a forestry lift, same trucks just the new one is, well, newer. What seems to make a difference is how long the tongue on the chipper is. Bigger problem of material...

    Thinking of getting a new 18" chipper, opinion pls

    I hear Terex's are great as long as you don't mind chipping the brush then shovelling it from between the truck and chipper. Maybe something that'll throw chips will work, like a bearcat.;)

    Thinking of getting a new 18" chipper, opinion pls

    In my experience, bandits hate anything dead. It stalls the lower feeder religiously. After driving thousands of yards of dead ash through all different models of morbark, most recently an m18r, with significantly less feeder issues, I would strongly advise examining your market and figure out...

    Coast Redwood 2014 pics ... plus Bigfoot

    I find it interesting that my hero giant slayer can have what appears to be such a reversal of outlook on these monsters. I wonder if it's a case of with age comes insight or ...... Regardless there might be hope for me. Beautiful pics.

    10 sheets work just fine. 40' of roadway and if we have to go further the crew just leap frogs the ones the truck isn't on. Why bother pissing money away on more mats than nessesary. Or better yet, when you have more than 1 crew you can outfit another crew with 10 sheets.

    guying a big doug fir

    Permanent yes. In my case all parts of the guy system is replaceable and/or adjustable on a 10 year cycle or as needed. 1/2" cable, clips, turnbuckles, rock anchors. Something I almost overlooked was the need for lightning protection after installing all that steel 2/3 up the tree.

    guying a big doug fir

    Been there. 75' white pine. When guying something that big you have to think of it more of a transmittion tower and less of a tree. Yes, through bolts and washers but there's more hardware requirements that should be taken into account. Pm me if you want to talk.
