    Log Truck

    This is basically the exact truck I'm starting to spec out. Love the idea of my "crane" being my "log truck" too. This is an older thread so I'd love to hear your thought on that truck now.. are you still running it or a similar kboom dump combo? Did you find the boom large enough to be useful...

    Green tracks

    Does anyone use green tracks or something like them? They are smooth skidsteer tracks that allegedly limit turn damage when turning. I have a kubota svl75 (10,000 lbs) with Ryan's grapple and it's awesome. Very turn friendly in a straight line and in a dry year such as the one we are having...

    Chipper drum failure

    Update.. Vermeer is covering the cost of a new drum (22k), my broken one will be shipped to vermeer factory for further evaluation. I appreciate vermeer doing that. That being said, collateral damage was significant. Most significant is the "cutter drum housing", as the name suggests it houses...

    Chipper drum failure

    Spoke with Todd at landmark machinery, unbelievably to me, he said they could fix the drum. Before I go that route though vermeer asked if they could look at the machine in their shop.
