    Dump hoist trouble shooting?

    TreeBuzz and its members are so great. I would have never thought of all those things to check. Some are slap my forehead simple but I would not have thought of them. I'll bet the answer is in there and many are very simple to check or stop by your local auto parts and ask them to check...

    RC Grapple

    Have not had a need to employ mine yet. I set it up specifically to go on the opposite end of my climb line rather than a stand alone system like my Captain Hook is set up. It has the weight to carry my Tacyon out pretty far but have only done some practice throws with it.

    Cordless Drill for GRCS (?)

    I haven't used mine enough to say anything about durability. It's a little block of shaped steel though and would be very surprised if it failed. Does anyone have any further info with loadcell stats on the lifting power of drills powering the GRCS? I was going into a tougher job and bought...

    Root systems and foundations...discuss!

    That wouldn't be the case in my area of California. Cracks in T wall type foundation around the exterior. Not sure about condition of interior lines of foundation but it was lifting those enough to warp hardwood floors and crack a couple of walls. Minimum initial foundation work price I...

    Root systems and foundations...discuss!

    I have heard the premise that copper nails hammered into a tree would kill it but have never done it or spoken to a person who has. I guess if copper just killed the cells of the roots it comes in contact with and doesn't travel systemically it could work well as foundation protection.

    Root systems and foundations...discuss!

    I just had a YouTube short put in my feed a few days ago that appeared to be an advertisement for a "sock" made of fine copper mesh to put over pipe as you install a French Drain in a tree root prone area. Interesting thought. I clicked on the poster of the video and watched one other he had...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Chippers are such an interesting piece of equipment. They can do huge volumes of work but a thing off here or there can add so much frustration and headache to your day and cut that production. A friend had a brand new Morbark 12 inch chipper that would plug its chute. I mean right off the...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    This is what a lower feed wheel with double the knives looks like. It makes all the difference in a Bandit not jamming with chips nearly as much especially on brush that fractures.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Ahh. Well, good to have someone with first hand experience. I would assume fir, cypress, and pine branches from trees in my area would jam up. Oaks and the like all the more.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Not bog down the motor...as in too much material to eat. Bog down the work flow as in there is a heck of a lot of tree growth that will plug an 8 inch by 8 inch feed hole with too much friction. Back it out and cripple crotches, pull off some of the material feeding at one time etc. Even in...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Just looked up the TW and Jensen and later mentioned Soscol. That Jensen has an 8 inch square to feed brush through. It would almost certainly bog down every day of work in my opinion. The Soscol may well be out for Mick point of single feed wheel - also only six inch.

    Bevel buddy

    :) Fortunately I'm cured from any such temptation as I couldn't get an angle grinder into my disk chipper if I wanted to. That and the last chipper drum I priced was half the price of a chipper. (I'm anal about not munging things up.)

    Single vs. Tandem Rear Axles?

    @Lumberjack/Carl has been living the choice between single and tandem axle for some time I believe.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Follow on thought for you Oceans. I read that you're looking toward buying a hooklift truck as a method of consolidating trucks. When I was shopping for my Ram 5500 and considered other brands and sizes I would get all kinds of prices that were a little hard to sort out some choices. At one...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    I try not to care what other people do but, often share about the importance of having the right options on a chipper. Bandit will sell chippers all day long to people and the chute pin plate has holes about 60 or 70 percent of the way around. For those willing to spend $75 or $150 dollars...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    When I was renting different models of Bandit chippers to test I picked up a 65XP that had dual rollers and I was chipping dead chestnut or something that would do alot of fracturing as it was chipped. This jammed the feedwheels to a stop and I had to reverse/ forward the feed so often it was...
