    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    Phenomenal contribution to do that test and put it up - thank you. I wonder if it is breaking the zip ties, essentially, one at a time? So adding more gains little. Perhaps going to beefier zip ties? Separately TreeStuff has break away lanyards with two bucklesnaps that they say reliably...

    AIs are Talking about Tree Work

    Ha...if so, that didn't take long, a short hop to other forms of what an impediment the human race is.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    I thought you would have an informed perspective Mick. On tree work I've always tried to hold myself to using a piece of equipment under work conditions before buying a similar unit. Since the labor or personal effort put in will always be the biggest investment in using a unit I've traveled 7...

    2013 bandit 75xp bad jamming problem behind feeding wheel

    Yes, armchair. Anyone who wants top end results should gamble $10. Might well have to start from new knives to get away from the handicap of the backbevel.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    I see some of the other YT vids of it chipping much more aggressively than the guy feeding it at a chipper display booth. Being fanatical about "no dirty material" has its rewards.

    2013 bandit 75xp bad jamming problem behind feeding wheel

    Anyone want a new set of 75 XP knives and a couple of bolts for $50 to cover shipping and change? By the way I dress the knives to keep at better performance on my chipper(s). I have been using a "Garden Sharp" hand dresser that only dresses the cutting face for almost a year. So much better...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Interesting lift and lower of feed table itself. Wouldn't care to be lifting brush up to feed it at a downward angle. Could see that being very useful on the rare occasion I had to park chipper in a depression. Not excited by the chipping action I see on that small brush. Hopefully the...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Remote control for tracking! Levered handle to open spring infeed tension apparently. I've always wondered if that would be useful on a Bandit 6 inch I have to remove the occasional jammed material. And if you can lever it one way to lift the feed wheel I would think you could lever it the...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    You're close enough to be a great starting point, thanks. Between your picture and the spec of something like 26 yards per hour capable chipping that looks like an interesting machine. And that engine was very capable on a 9 inch machine I rented one time so I'm sure it does great on a 7 inch.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Someone will love that thing. Wish specs said the actual max feed height and width. At first I thought it was a Vermeer pictured and would have a 6"×6" opening. When looking at chippers previously I've asked how much putting any given Bandit on tracks added and they said about 30k at that...

    Ha, I missed that this was a different chipper.

    Chipper drum failure

    ...then turned down on a lathe for reasonable smoothness and checked at increasing RPMs for balance until it can run smoothly at full functional RPM. (That's me anyway.)

    The Akimbo 2

    Good info. I do a lot to avoid sap as a result of using the A1 for years. And I am fortunate to have almost all of my work light on sap. The one time I did get into some when newly trying the A2 I went past it with relative ease. That would have been on Tachyon or Safety Blue.

    Chipper drum failure

    Sounds affordable...balance could be an issue that will need to be addressed.

    The Akimbo 2

    Always surprised to hear of people having problems with usage since my A1's and my A2 all ran well right off the bat, switch between rope types and different sizes, and I'm not great at reading directions for adjustment of settings. But isn't there a specific order to adjust the settings as...

    Bandit Chipper possible options - and why.

    Cops, like most of us, like success. Showing them you can locate and track a stolen item will be far more interesting to them than, "Hey my equipment was stolen, will you locate it and retrieve it." Unfortunately some sales job may well still be required.

    Bandit Chipper possible options - and why.

    There is some company selling AirTag size and appearance devices that do not notify the perpetrators phone he is being tracked.

    Bandit Chipper possible options - and why.

    Even if a person wanted a folding indeed tray, as I did on a mostly hand fed 9 inch chipper - double wide.
