    suggestions for saving this cracked oak??

    I think it's great your taking steps to look at how the tree may be saved. Most guys would immediately condemn that tree and have a crew there within the hour. Crown reduction combined with crown thinning and bracing/rods in the trunk might be an option; especially if it significantly reduces...

    Problem with my Bandit autofeed

    Yes it does set it back to 0 there may be a way to adjust the tach to make it read the number of hours you had when you installed new one. Took me about 30minutes to switch out the tack, a little wiring but nothing major. My old one is an Electronic Solutions Inc. tach, I've heard the LOR are...

    Problem with my Bandit autofeed

    Gorman I just put a new tach in my Bandit 1590, I have the old tach that is still in perfect condition I just switched to a different brand so I can make adjustments in the field easily (the other tach you have to ship in to get the settings adjusted somehow). Anyway, if you want to try the old...

    Sawmills

    Very cool I've been looking into mills lately, we have a lot of cool tropical trees that have great wood and end up being chipped or pay to dispose of in a large tub grinder. One day when I can get the money together... jp

    Problem with my Bandit autofeed

    How is it malfunctioning? Is it not stopping at all or does the autofeed click on and off randomly? jp

    What can a contract climber make in Northern CA?

    If I were your buddy I would be getting some info on how business is doing in that area. Last time I was there (grew up one hour north of the bay area) work was slow and the demand for a hired gun wasn't happening. Now if you have a good rep which takes time to develop, you may fair well. I...

    Bandit Vs.Morbark

    Both are great. I've used morbarks and BB's and they are both really well made machines. Personally I would rather have a drum. jp

    Building a Chip Box

    [ QUOTE ] how high is the top of the box from the bed surface? I have 1' metal sides on my 1ton and was thinking of going 5' or 6' higher with the woodsides [/ QUOTE ] The box is just under six feet from the bed surface. I would probably suggest going to 5' as the height is more than I was...

    Building a Chip Box

    Been using the box now for a few months and the sheeting is holding up amazingly well. Even when the box is empty and the chips are shooting straight into the sheeting, there is virtually no damage/distortion and can handle the load when maxed out no problem. I'm really impressed with this...

    Building a Chip Box

    All together we put about 2K into the materials for the box and then of course the time involved, about 3 long weekends all together. I'm sure many could do it much faster but we found the angles on the front portion of the box over the toolbox took quite a while. jp

    Building a Chip Box

    I had looked around for some aluminum sheeting for the walls of the box but was pretty surprised by the prices here on Oahu. I remembered a year or two back seeing a box flyingsquirrel had made with polycarbonate sheeting. After contacting him and brendonv about the material I decided to give it...

    Building a Chip Box

    Once the whole thing was welded together and we made sure it fit correctly on the bed we pulled it off, sanded the whole thing and then applied several coats of primer and paint. jp
