    The Chipper Winch Thread

    We use a Chook on our winch line and choke the load with an endless loop sling. I don’t dare keep any metal on our winching system, people will always find a way to run it through the chipper.

There’s no reason for anyone on my crew to not wear them because we all...

    Grapple truck questions

    Husqvarna 536 LiXP battery problem

    The plastic tabs on the side of the battery are fragile. We just broke one of ours the other day. It still works but we’ve almost dropped it out of the saw twice now. I’m not sure if it’s repairable or not.
