    Buying used vs. new equipment

    Just because a truck is new doesn't mean it won't give you trouble and just because its used doesn't mean it will. Excessive dept on the other hand is always bad.

    $1,000 Hydraulic oil?

    Look a little deeper. I get a lot of different opinions when I have looked into this. Most oils are non-conductive but not all but they don't seem to mention this when one looks up the specs on any one label. There are a lot of different brands and the prices very quite a bit. You should be...

    Bandit 1590

    What I mean by "designed for 15" " is as originally signed the Bandit 1590 was 15" capacity. A few years back Bandit raised the hight of the feed wheel cradle 3" and called it an 18" capacity machine. I don't think they changed anything else. Now the difference in volume and weight of 18"...

    Chipper sliding tongue failure

    I just pulled the tongue out of an old Altec drum chipper. It had significant cracks in the square stock at the bolt holes. I think maybe inspecting those adjustable hitches from now on is a good idea.

    2004 Bandit 65AW - oil recommendation

    Just use whatever you can, it doesn't matter that much. 15W 30 is common enough.

    Bandit 1590

    Excellent machine but it is designed for 15" not 18" so just keep that in mind.

    Murphy switches

    TreeLogic. There wasn't enough power going to the solenoid switch to trip it so it could transfer power to the starter. They must have cleaned or moved that connection when they cleaned the battery posts. Corrosion on connectors are the number one reason an engine won't start.

    Murphy switches

    Those switches hold up pretty well. Look for a different cause.

    Florida day laborer gets eaten by Morbark

    This happened last week. Why they put an untrained guy behind a 2400 is beyond reason. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/landscaper-killed-by-wood-chipper-in-florida/

    Autofeed randomly starting/stopping the feed wheels

    Probably clean up all the connections first. Reprogram it to the correct rmp's and and make sure the engine is maintaining those rpm's. If it continues to acted up buy a new auto feed module. You may be able to send yours to the OEM for testing and rebuilding.. I think one of the brands...

    Buying a brand new chipper or older/used?

    Winch, its pretty ridicules to open a statement with "I'm not trying to get into an argument" then follow that with a statement that is clearly written to start an argument. I'm pretty sure you know what I meant when I wrote "mechanic". Prices are up clear across the board. Tier 4 engines...

    Buying a brand new chipper or older/used?

    That's the spirit Frashdog. Did you get that one out of Seattle? Winch, its not about being afraid of new technology, its about be smart enough to know when your being screwed. Its a simple fact that the newer engines are extremely unreliable and extremely expensive. Talk to a Cat technician...

    Best startup ( ..$$) truck/trailer/chipper combo for weekend warriors ?

    The v10 isn't a bad engine, just that everyone compares it to a 7.3 diesel and there is just no comparison. A diesel is likely to be too expensive at this point.
