About five years ago a homeowner borrowed a nearby tree guy's forestry truck to take down a huge dead oak at his house and supposably took a huge top out with no notch. This was 15 minutes from my house.
The top was balance just right to not pinch the saw and it "lawn darted" down and ripped...
I totally get the feeling... Being in soooo far with throwing money into a burn pit you just say efff it and go ahead and fix the piece of crap and hope for the best.
In the next month or two I’m going to start transitioning to work positioning in the tree. I hurt my left foot but I’m right foot dominant with a foot ascender for pruning.
My concern is wearing spurs and how long in can take the pain from standing on them.
Anyone have exp with this ?
Two things i feel the hhxf has over hitch based srs devices is the hitch is on the top so your glove doesn't get sucked in when descending. The other thing is that the hhxf requires less force input to initiate the decent. very easy to engage.
I wonder how bad that chipper was rocking when he ran to shut it down. Prolly like me at an open bar wedding.
Also, when the drum is replaced or repaired are they going to do the bearings too? I'd find it hard to get them off without taking a torch to them
no, the dealer that replaced it years and years ago when it went in for new disc bearings. Something happened and to a fuse but they had a wire taped up and tucked away. I'm not sure how they had it working right but perhaps it was a slightly different model??
I have another coming tomorrow from amazon but this is our backup chipper since our production chipper is having a major engine overhaul being done. I'll pop in it and hope for the best
One of our motors started leaking on our woodsman15x. It was very new so I was surprised. Took it to the closest competent shop to re-seal it and the guy says “not another one of these…”. He said three years ago he started getting tons of these in for seal issues when they used to be a very rare...
