    :) Fortunately I'm cured from any such temptation as I couldn't get an angle grinder into my disk chipper if I wanted to. That and the last chipper drum I priced was half the price of a chipper. (I'm anal about not munging things up.)

    Single vs. Tandem Rear Axles?

    @Lumberjack/Carl has been living the choice between single and tandem axle for some time I believe.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Follow on thought for you Oceans. I read that you're looking toward buying a hooklift truck as a method of consolidating trucks. When I was shopping for my Ram 5500 and considered other brands and sizes I would get all kinds of prices that were a little hard to sort out some choices. At one...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    I try not to care what other people do but, often share about the importance of having the right options on a chipper. Bandit will sell chippers all day long to people and the chute pin plate has holes about 60 or 70 percent of the way around. For those willing to spend $75 or $150 dollars...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    When I was renting different models of Bandit chippers to test I picked up a 65XP that had dual rollers and I was chipping dead chestnut or something that would do alot of fracturing as it was chipped. This jammed the feedwheels to a stop and I had to reverse/ forward the feed so often it was...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Bandit used to produce trailer/chipper combos with 9 inch chipper. And I have seen truck/ chipper combos with the chipper feed table on right side and marketed as safer to feed (traffic).

    Did you see post #19 on the Leaving Chips Onsite thread? Reg tweaked a small chipper.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Bandit used to sell PTO chippers too. With regard to specing a Bandit chipper build I would say ask the factory for anything you want and think it should have. Every chipper salesman I've ever talked to trying to gain info wanted me to buy that day, and - what was on the lot that day. My next...

    6-8” chipper

    Have you looked at the tread about small tree work set ups? One or more people have posted about using push to the back yard chippers or shredders. Asking them about performance could give you an idea. The smallest I've used is a Bandit 6 inch. Anything you think you want to buy and use I...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    This was some time ago 2017 or something. A Bandit 90XP. Bandit is happy to add lots of custom options you just need to get in there build line up, about 3 months at that time, and know to ask for each thing. They name off some options but many they don't. An adjustable chute - important...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Good points. Actually it occurred to me after my post I would consider your thoughts to be top notch if I were looking for a light weight chipper and would only use Arbtalk to catch any other points about that class of chippers that I hadn't thought of. I researched chippers for over a year...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    If you wanted a Euro chipper and wanted what would suit you best there is probably years of info stored up on threads on the Euro Arb Forum. Forget the name of that one - suspect Mick could tell us.

    Leaving chips onsite

    Not too germain to a lot of what is being talked about here but, this 45° elbow is something I put on the end of my 90XP chute to place chips closer to the side of the machine or right down into a garbage can. I have a smaller one that I used on my 60AW chipper and I had a awning company sew...

    Yes it does. So, if you're happy with three sharpens from Bevel Buddy and toss the knives that problem is solved. I'll do a little more testing and calculating to see what works for me. Previously using an Accusharp type knife sharpener did have knives come back from being ground with some...

    Leaving chips onsite

    Of the places where I ask to leave chips on site I would say between half and 2/3 say yes. I have lots of people close who want chips and I'm often giving them away as a favor. I'll get a picture of a 90° elbow of culvert pipe I sometimes use to shoot chips into a trash can or right beside the...

    Throw bag hitting shingle roof...How bad?

    I would never bid a job or make final working plan from a picture but, it appears I could do my tie in point well above the top of picture frame in your post number #12. I would install top of a speed line rope below my tie in point anchoring one leg to base of the tree. Then go out to area...
