    Bluetooth helmet ear muffs

    Not as low profile as a Protos with Sena, but I use some Bose over-ear noise canceling headphones. Podcasts, music and phone handsfree while climbing. I attach the headband over the top of my petzl helmet with two small pieces of one of those rubber coated twist ties

    Building a business

    I like your moxie and am inclined to say go for it. At your age, you probably don't have any expensive loans to default on if everything comes crashing down. The problem is you don't know how much you don't know. Business failure can come in many forms. I was an inexperienced manager (24...

    New Business Hauling Setup/ Chip v. Chipless

    For a couple of years I was convinced I wanted to get away from chipping on site. I hauled a Nedlands Rolloff trailer with a gooseneck using an f450. I could nest 2 rolloff containers to bring for the largest jobs. Brush in one container and wood in the other. More options and lower to the...

    Hand saw for ornamental pruning

    Silky Ginga is a straight blade with teeth to the saw tip. The blade is flexible and good for cuts in tight spaces. Not sure about current availability. Last replacement blade I bought was from the Sherill catalog about 15 years ago

    Chipper chute

    I have the same chipper. The worn out chute rotation started after a few years. I have never repaired it because I chip into the truck and don't need to rotate 180° while transporting. I solved the chute's tendency to move while chipping or driving with two opposing ratchet straps attached...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    No I bought it used from a local dealer who put it onto this truck around 2012. Before the hooklift, I towed a Nedlands rolloff trailer. I love being able to load logs at ground level. Hang a large set of log tongs from the hooklift to forward and load heavy pieces

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    My 2002 BC1400 is being repaired at Vermeer. While waiting for parts to be built (new control board), I am hauling branches to the limb recycling center. 2004 f-450 with a Stellar hooklift. Load braches into the "chip-box" on the ground. Pick it up then drive to the dump. If you are...

    Pole saw blade replacement

    I prefer straight blade for handsaw and small pole saw. The Gomtarro straight blade fits onto the Zubat pole saw using the predrilled bolt holes. Be careful not to bend the blade on the push stroke The pole piece with the Zubat head fits into the Hayauachi. The three bottom pole pieces...

    Driving Class B CDL Truck with out CDL

    I am in the area and have never seen a DOT inspection within the city. I have been pulled over by state troopers in town and made to drop a chipper because the GCVW required a Class B CDL. No ticket or suspension. I guess I got lucky that day. I wouldn't risk losing my licencse with your...

    Log rite BTS Hauler

    Buy it. Upgrade to the wider float tires. Throw in the Logrite Peevee. I ordered both items directly from Logrite. The platform to haul logs like a traditional ball cart never gets used so if you can save money skip that option. I remember total cost of BTS and peevee was around $850...
