    STUMP CUTTER... WHich one to get?

    I am currently using a Vermeer SC60TX and an SC352 everyday and would quickly steer you away from tracks of any sort. In my opinion, tracks are for landclearing not for residential tree work. They are ridiculously "bouncy", sometimes will scare you to death when coming off the trailer (when...

    One Handing a Top Handle Chain Saw? Yes or No

    There is clearly a reason "top handled" saws were enginered, designed and built to be so perfectly balanced while holding them with your "one" right hand- BECAUSE THEY WERE ORIGINALLY DESIGED TO BE OPERATED WITH YOUR ONE RIGHT HAND! Regardless of what any new publication, manual, or literature...

    Re: What\'s the biggest chipper allowed in CA now? As for the CARB laws in California, having a number of very dear friends in SoCal and having spend a moderate amount of time there speaking with small businessmen- here is the absolute truth about the matter. The average working man (self...

    morbark model 13 cracked drum bearing housing

    This is one of the major issues with large, drum chippers. Although they are rated for 14",18",20" diameter material-it does not mean the machines can handle a relatively steady diet of maximum diameter material (they are simply not built heavily enough to take it). Stuff will begin to break and...

    Sandblasting

    Hire it done professionally and be done with it. A commercial grade blaster can't be purchased cheaply (they are like any other piece of equipment). A professional clearly understands volume, pressure, choice of aggregate (blasting medium- sand, walnut hulls, coal particles, etc.), and will be...

    Articulating Loaders Stability

    On the "American Made" Gehls, do they incorporate metric or SAE fittings/fasteners etc,? Also, what "brand" of hydraulic/hydrostatic pumps do they use? What axles do they utilize? Although, built/assembled in the US, I am curious to learn if they incorporate any "domestic" components. As for...

    Articulating Loaders Stability

    As for the Branch manager or BSG grapples on a Swinger (or any other articulated machine), I have found them to be only practical for feeding a large chipper (where you are "forwarding" very long tree sections). The biggest shortcoming of this type of grapple is the fact that you have no pushing...

    Articulating Loaders Stability

    Dave, strictly from a stability standpoint, how did the Boxer articulated loaders compare with the Gehls? Also, with your extensive experience with the Swinger loaders, how would you rate them in stability- as compared to the German built machines?

    Articulating Loaders Stability

    the Tier 4 emission standard and its effects on diesel engines is exactly why engine manufacturers with the backing of American businessman (both large and small) need to tell the EPA to "GO TO H..L". It is absolute insanity, what we are allowing to be done to us and our ability to productively...

    Bucket truck advice

    You truly can have the best of both worlds- on a budget. The one thing I don't see discussed here is "how will this purchase truly affect your PROFIT"! Nice, expensive "elevators" are sweet, but they are costly. Can you really justify the cost or are you over spending for a "luxury". For a $40k...
