    Happy Thanksgiving Treebuzz!!

    Without Treebuzz I would have never bought a dozen chainsaws, a mini skid, a chipper, a dump truck and thousands of dollars of other stuff. My wife thanks you all every day, lol. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

    Environment friendly Hydraulic Oil?

    My first question would be does it void your warranty, if you still have one. If so then the manufacturer may have a brand they will accept.

    Mini Skids

    So since I am going to do work on it anyway I decided to go see what the typical lawn in my area would take and how easy I might screw one up after some rain yesterday. Our area is primarily clay with very short rooter grass. I still have stock bar tires on the Dingo for reference. Took me about...

    Where to buy a training model chainsaw chain???

    I wasn't there this year but last year I think I saw them at the Oregon booth. You might try them by phone to see if they have some they give field reps.

    Bucket truck question

    The first thing you need to do is ask yourself who is inspecting it no matter what year you get? After that has been answered, just call that local guy and ask him. He has to know your local rules if he is licensed to inspect them in your area.

    Dump trailer with platform for a mini....?

    I was just going to get one of these, place it over the limb keep moving towards the tip lol. That should work right? And there is no need for a big chip truck anymore.

    Mini Skids

    Just added an angling dozer blade to the mix today. Used but not in bad shape, blade is flippable so it has one clean side still and one that could use a little grinder work. Thinking about mounting plow rubber on one side keeping the other side steel. Or turning the whole thing into a 4ft snow...

    $500 BC935 chipper I picked up today..

    I think this is the guy who started it all and from what I hear is way cheaper than having the dealer order parts. I have not gone there yet but it is on my list also. http://www.autofeedplus.com/home.html

    Mini skid steer shopping

    So true. They will all make you money and can be traded in or resold later when it's time to upgrade or downgrade. We all know what good used ones cost.

    Does cold weather reduce the rated kn of gear?

    Cheap bolts is most likely the cause. Never trust the markings or material from any sub-standard country unless you know the manufacturer, literally. They are known for intentionally mismarking steel and hardware. Any temperatures that you or I would commonly work it will have no affect on the...

    Best battery-powered top handle chainsaw

    Personally I would try one before you buy one if possible. I thought I would like one until I tried it. The Husky worked great and had plenty of power for it's intended use. Stihl is probably the same as my issue but I have never seen one yet. I don't actually like not having to pull start it...

    Ground protection mats???

    Actually I just looked at this and it is a better price than what the 3x8 Alturnamats were quoted at.

    Ground protection mats???

    Ground protection mats???

    I agree. I was just looking at 12 mats from Gap Power but that $2,400 price tag is rough. I have seen a lot of other versions as far as honeycombs and such from other trades farming places but they are all about the same cost so why would I not just go with what we know at that point.

    Mini skid steer shopping

    That included the I was playing with the Avant 420 before I went with the Dingo. The 420 is certainly a nice machine. If you go that route, ask about the Universal mini setup. You might not want it but it is available. Otherwise it is all Avant attachments from what I was told.

    Ground protection mats???

    There are so many choices out there from plywood to plastic (pick a brand). I am still looking for a cost effective version for what I would use them most for, possibly many of you too. All the mats are great, last forever, and you can drive your 30,000lb truck on them. I like many of you I...

    Mini skid steer shopping

    I would agree with both guys above even on a wheeled unit. I can tear up a damp lawn in no time even with wheels. Narrow tires only makes the ground pressure worse and the machine less stable. Turf tires might be better on lawns but they are pointless in muddy conditions. Buy what makes sense...

    Mini skid steer shopping

    I just got the Toro 323 std wheeled (42 wide). You can get a narrow tire setup to be 35-37 wide. Dirt bucket, grapple bucket, BMG grapple. Definitely want pallet forks next. A lot will depend how your work setup and what else you might do with the mini. They are really used in other professions...
