    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Plus getting the new bearings and seals and looking at them might give you a clue as to how they come apart and go back in.

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    But relooking at your pics why is that metal disc split? Is there a special tool needed? Like an ultra duty snap ring pliers or something?

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    I’d probable destroy the rest of the bearing just leaving the outer race still stuck in the undercarriage. Then run a hot weld bead on the inside of the race heat shrinking it and it should come out easily with a punch and some tapping, not smashing, just a little happy tappy tap taps. I’ve...

    Safety Incentive Program

    Personally if there was a crew member or members that regularly damaged shit they wouldn’t be around very long. IMO regular damage is just plain carelessness and a red flag for something worse. Now I know accidents happen in this business, it’s just the law of averages. But something gets...

    Possible damage from impact of felling a large tree close to a house.

    A guy I subbed for told me a story of a company he was working for. It was a large tree and the log was left and needed to be felled parallel to the house. Spring time so the ground is usually well saturated and jelly like. So the tree came down and blew out the cement block basement wall from...

    What has everyone used to pull small brush/trees?

    My answer is a hydro leak is an ‘if’ but applying herbicide is a ‘sure thing’.

    What has everyone used to pull small brush/trees?

    I just tore out an acre yesterday with the mini skid and a tooth bucket, 2.5 hours, pushed into a burn pile. Mostly buckthorn, honey suckle, and boxelder. Biggest boxelder was 4”ish. If they don’t push out clean you can beaver away with a tooth on the bucket.

    PNW laminated rot, overgrowth, hoarding, demo, GTG?

    It doesn’t take very long before nature takes over. I’ve got two harrow drags I found when I was clearing some of my land that used to be farm. So I put them off to the side and ten years later I have to cut them out of a walnut tree if I wanted to reuse them.

    Bid that tree!

    I had one very similar to this. My buddies cousin bought a 880 (because it’s the biggest) and thought it made him super logger. I have a pic somewhere of the ‘attempt’. I just set a line and ripped it over but that’s the carved turkey stump.

    Bid that tree!

    Price goes up because they now “compromised” the integrity of the tree.

    GRCS Worth it with mini.

    I did. And I really like having a little less weight to the frame and have hung some pretty big wood off of the setup, three thousand easily with double whip and no movement on the trunk. Hanging the frame off of a small sling around the trunk is the ticket. Some pics of GRCS hung wood...

    GRCS Worth it with mini.

    $3600 plus $500 so $4100 + shipping or $2500? $2500 sounds like a steal to me. $2500 is one job. Just saying. If it were me I’d buy it. Hell you could buy it and flip it for a few hundred more.

    GRCS Worth it with mini.

    2500 for the GRCS and drill is a very good price. I have a mini and GRCS, the mini is a daily driver and the GRCS sits most of the time but when it’s needed it is the most valuable tool to ever have existed.
