    Life expectancy of drum bearings

    Howdy, I have a woodsman 15x with 1750 hours on it. How many hours should I expect to get out o of these bearings? I averaged about 1800 on my bandit disc chipper. I’m probably going to swap them out this winter regardless so I don’t have to deal with a problem during the spring.

    It was a joke. But also very true.

    How to locate a contract climber.

    Take an empty bottle of pills, put three pills in it and shake it out the window. The climbers will come running.

    Estimate increase over time

    Depends on what your overhead had increased. My w/c jumped 11 percent in one year so I’d figure that as well as fuel prices and other overhead.

    If your exhaust manifolds are rotten your turbo won’t spool up properly.

    Allison RDS Transmission

    I towed a 8k chipper and a 14’ box with a 2200rds for years. No problems. I changed the trans oil at 40k miles and it looked fine. No metal in the filter magnet.

    Autofeed issues

    Got everything working correctly. The new autofeed seems to help with the bogging issues but still gets bogged down once in a while when we put a big top in.

    Autofeed issues

    Their manual has nothing to address that issue. Its seems its a stock digital tach used in many different "applications". I have to wait to monday to call landmark. Our other chipper had a bearing go yesterday while we had this one out of service to try to figure stuff out.

    Autofeed issues

    I have a woodsman 15x and have recently replaced the autofeed computer with a LOR PDX-X. We had to wire it all up and I can't figure out why that when we start up the chipper and it is at idle the feed wheels turn. There should be a signal sent to the valve telling it to stop. anyone know?

    Pain in the butt clients, vent here!

    I had a new customer verbally agree to a day of work years ago and I sent him a proposal and he never got back to me. I idiotically left a message some time later saying we were coming on “this” day to do the work and never heard back. We did part of the work and left the stumps for a later...

    As a general rule of thumb, if a customer won’t meet you in person they probably have four other quotes coming and are looking for the lowest.
