    grappling hook

    What I wasn't sure is if the claw was hooked on the branch or over and around the rope. I experimented a little with some homemade prototypes and didn't really find something that hooked like I liked. It had a tendency to roll off the branch sometimes. Any pics of the ones they use (I've saw...

    Cable storage?

    how do you all store your cable? I've saw cutting the side wall out of a tire to store it. That works ok . But I remember seeing somewhere a better way with a homemade system but for the life of me I can't remember what it was!!! (No one else has that peoblem do they?!) I just got a glance at...

    Why the F*%$ isn't Topping illegal?

    Re: Why the F*%$ isn\'t Topping illegal? Jamin, that's what I do. Instead of trying to convince them on the phone that topping is bad if the want it. I go meet them and explain what the difference is. I usually if I do that they are ok with not topping where on the phone they will just call...

    250 xp with guages missing

    That sounds not too bad. mine is a ex city unit. It could have been been greased a little more but not bad. Had to replace those bushings. Since he isn't say a vermeer dealer I would'nt be too afraid of this. Does he sell chippers on a regular basis or is this an exception. Especially if he'd...

    250 xp with guages missing

    That does seem a little unusual on the price at a dealer. Is it a "tree" dealer or something else? On those 1250/1230's the feed roller slides are the biggest thing to look at. If not enough grease they will wear alot in one area for smaller branches an them have trouble opening up for bigger...

    buying a chipper with 2 radiators. problems?

    Re: buying a chipper with 2 radiators. problems If it were me I'd REALLY lean towards the JD. Of course if its slap wore out it wouldn't be better. I'm not a fan of john deere but I think you would be happier with it. John deeres are good motors just they are a harder to work on and the...

    eye to eye split tails

    The KEY to solving that issue is the right length of prusic, and the proper # and type of wraps. You might try using a knotted prusic cord for a little while to experiment with the effects of different lengths without having to buy 5 different ones. The top wraps on a VT are the "grab" part...
