    Chipper issue

    I called service dept. yesterday and explained situation and he said right away it sounded like bad metal. He told me to email service manager with pics. I did that and did not get a response that day. Called him this morning and left voice mail and did not hear back today! I don't want to...

    Chipper issue

    I have a serious issue with my 2011 morbark 12" chipper. It has 1000 hours on it and rarely does it see anything over 6-8". The metal on the chipper where the lower feed wheel is connected is cracking badly. I'm curious if anyone else has seen this before? I have a call into the dealer where I...

    disposing of wood

    What are the other tree companies in your area doing with the wood? It seems to me if the only option is the dump at $55 a ton then all the companies would have the same expense therefore keeping the pricing equal. Just my initial thought. I do like the discussion however on different ways and...

    New Toro Tx 1000 Wide Track

    I already have the clam style grapple, bought it with the machine.. I know I'm going to buy a BMG, its just hard to drop the dough when the clam style grapple is working just fine. For the long branches we are just using a sling at this point and dragging them out. It works well enough for...

    New Toro Tx 1000 Wide Track

    I'm this close to pulling the trigger on the BMG. But for me fences and gates are not the deciding factor. I can take down a section of fence in most cases pretty quick. I have the wide track machine and most gates around me are the standard 36". My decision is going to be based on feeding...

    "Working Capitol"

    I can't answer your question about how much you should have..............I have 3 accounts. 1 is the winter account. I don't do much winter work and I do not plow (yes I am a fulltime FF so I don't need to do tree work in the winter) so this is the account I put money in throughout the year to...

    Subbing equipment

    The only person I "sub" the equipment out to is my climber. When he is doing his own thing on the side he pays me $100/hour for equipment, $20 per hour per additional crew member, and for every hour I'm there he owes me equal number of hours of work. So far it has worked out well.

    facilities

    I rent a building for my storage. Unfortunately I don't have any outside type of yard, so there is no log storage or chip dump. I have to go to my dump sites when I need to dump. It is annoying not to have a yard but I like having my equipment indoors year round. It's plenty of room for me...

    Treemotion suspenders

    i know this was discussed in the past but I'm wondering if there is any updated information. I'm looking for suspenders for my Treemotion and I remember very negative reviews regarding the Treemotion brand suspenders. Are there any recommended brands that people are finding success with? Chris

    Vermeer 352 issue

    i have a Vermeer 352 stump grinder and have a bit of an issue. The cutting wheel does not want to disengage. Anyone have this happen and maybe have a clue why? I'm thinking first place to start is with the switch ( not that I know how to figure out if it is bad) and secondly thinking it could...
