So then how do you guys sharpen your blades?
We just idle her and hold the dressing stone ever so lightly, yea the new guys let go some times, but they figure it out eventually. Lol jk
Yea we had a bandit 90, years ago, that I would open the cover on as soon as it clogged, that would clean it...
We specialized for years and still do in high end removals and pruning on waterfronts and other remote areas. Last few years we started getting more equipment and started to market more residential developments, municipalities and commercial work.
Still don't understand how one can compete...
we don't only do removals... We do it all. From mulching, cabling, bolting, hand snipping ornamentals to the biggest removals around. The only thing we don't do yet, is spraying.
I have a bachelors degree in environmental science, focus on plant biology, soil sciences and ecology. The ISA...

Maybe you should move up here and give me a run... Cause no one else is. I get all the trees no one else even wants to give...
so big boy... You actually take your wood away? Most of our big wood is taken away for free from my little friend here. 40' reach 20' flat bed can pic 8k next to the deck. You just could not compete if you were taking the wood away. The bigger the tree, the happier this guy is. The rest of...

I have it adjusted so I never lock the back down. The chin strap and ear muffs keep it fine on my head. With the sena I always have the muffs on the moment the helmet goes on.

Take the moment to acknowledge when you are doing something dangerous and want to be safe, listen to the voice in your head and go with your gut.
Imo, Driving to and from your job is more dangerous, because you have to count on other people to look...
We have a Cummins on ours. Never noticed much build up. We wash and blow everynow and then.
We must have a strong fan, it about sucks you up against the radiator if you get too close. I'll look at the size of the slits today.
All that really matters is bmg opens way bigger then the throat on your chipper.
The most efficient way to move/drag a big long limb or pile of long brush is by the butts, which is the parts we stuff into the chipper first.
I imagine if grapple opening is so important to you, you must be...
