    basic noob trailer plug question

    Worth checking what the non-chipper trailers are wired to, you'll probably tow something else at some point.

    basic noob trailer plug question

    All ones in our area are these. As are dump and landscape trailers. But the Bartlett chip truck I just had shipped from NC was wired for the small six pin, so maybe regional??

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    That's been our experience no snap rings and no moving parts on what's left. Just a tight fit with surface rust, pretty wild how strong that holds. If I understand the comment, the bearing and race are all external, what's inside the rail housing is a non-moving straight shaft/rod that accepts...

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Looked back at an older thread and @Reach you mentioned heating the housing then cold water dousing the spindle. I'll give that a go tomorrow. Any sweet rigs to use a jack/press without pushing on the opposite track rail??

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Definitely why I stopped, it's been recommended and I strapped them together before jacking but was wary about that. Not entirely following but will think on that that is a separate piece like a tapered split washer that the bolt seats to. Same on the rear ones we replaced. After the bearing...

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Fighting with one and looking for any tips. Front idler bearing on sk800. Have replaced the rear ones 4(?) times but those are in a sliding housing that can be removed and taken to a press. Heated, pb blasted, 8lb sledge vs punches, tried a bottle jack against a shorty/broken punch.

    eastern white pine, lower third yellowing/thinning fast...not sure what it could be?

    Most of the white pine dieback in Maine they're pointing towards mult needle cast fungi with more wet springs followed by drought. Sadly seeing similar but more rapidly fatal red spruce dieback along the coast right now too.

    Should ICE follow the constitution?

    If only those in politics lost their jobs when empty promises and lies stacked up. The BS our country's system allows, on all sides, is embarrassing. Especially when as inhumane as this.

    SK800 information

    I used to stock them but now get the filter kits from Jesco as it is cheaper than getting all the individual ones and easy. Have them stick one in on a parts order next time (or see if it is still cheaper...)

    Rope Runner Vertec Limited Edition

    Haven't received refund yet, was supposed to be in the mail two weeks ago. Gear must ship faster I suppose.

    Rope grab recommendations for rigging

    Grcs or whatnot do all of that much easier for pretension and lift (we used to do 4:1 with prussic) and cleaner too. The rope jack seems to have its place too (not sure what cams it uses) and cheaper/lighter. We use prussics for 4:1 pull when a machine can't get there and like the failsafe of...

    Today....

    That brought me right back. Towing a friend's tiny house up a steep hill with a '02 3/4 ton chevy and something goes. He jumps out, pops the hood, and yells "FIRE". Fire extinguisher thx to his dad saved the day. Woof

    Today....

    Been waiting for good rain on this as it's on an island without running water etc. Clients just won't listen about longterm benefits of buying a small chipper to be out here, or just chop up the stuff to rot when they play with their tractor... Pretty silly to pay us to sit and watch a bonfire...
