    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    Full throttle is rarely ever needed. I run my loaders at half throttle 98% of the time. It should increase longevity of parts.

    New England Endura Braid

    I would imagine they'd be great in a dead eye configuration. The block doesn't have enough rope behind it to make a difference if its a static or dynamic rope, imo. I'm not a rope expert tho, someone like @Worthaug might have better advice.

    Which to choose? Mini Skid Steer

    There are lots of factors that play into this. Extreme heat and extreme cold could both help to shorten the life of hydro pumps and obviously any contaminants in the system. I wouldn't be surprised to see one go 4k hours.

    RG 50 intermittent issue.

    Switch for the swing out console could be one thing to check. If the console is not open it will lock out the wheel.

    HELP! Looking Into Next Forestry Truck

    When buying used its more about condition and how the truck was maintained than brand. They are all decent, but I'd stay away from the gassers in a truck that heavy.

    Request for advice on new bucket, Altec vs Versalift vs Terex. Gas vs Diesel

    The V10s in my F450 and 550’s averaged 5mpg pulling a 200 Bandit. I’d guess you’ll be doing 4 in a bucket truck. Will you be running a pony motor for the lift hydros? It’s a lot harder on a gas motor to idle all day compared to a diesel.

    Keeping Plants Warm

    I can relate. I pull the door switch out of my garage fridge so the light stays on and keeps my beer from freezing.

    ...you might be a buzzer.

    At first I was like, what is TFAD? Googled it quick and got “that fat ass dick” although fitting for something @JD3000 and @JeffGu might say, it took me a second to realize trees from a distance was the correct answer.

    It sounded like you were in the just weighing my options phase but figured I’d throw it out there.

    Camper van for traveling

    Most ambulances that come through auctions by me are E-350/450 cutaways and have a gross of 14.5K regardless of whether they are a 350 or 450's for some reason. I'm not certain but would guess they have an empty weight around 10k. As far as putting a mini inside shouldn't be a problem. None...

    I’ve had my eye on a few ambulances for a tool truck/ trailer puller too.

    ECHO CS-590 TIMBERWOLF

    I once was considering buying a Echo 12” diesel chipper. Salesman was trying to tell me how great the warranty was. I asked if I could get the warranty info in writing, the salesman couldn’t produce but had someone from echo corporate email me it. It was ridiculous. Said it wouldn’t cover...

    Mini Skids

    I keep debating if a bigger mini or a small articulated loader would be best when I’m ready to upgrade. I love everything about the articulating loaders except that they are not as easy to get on and off and your back will take more jarring than if you were standing on a mini.

    Log or Chip Boiler?

    Yes, lots of utility poles and half rotted railroad ties being burned around me too. I know one guy who buys military tires by the truck load and resells them. He takes the runflat inserts out and cuts them into pies and throws in the wood burner at night.

    Log or Chip Boiler?

    Several of the small towns have passed laws banning outdoor wood burners around me. The problem came from guys thinking because they had a outdoor they could put any green shit wood they wanted in them and ended up smoking out everyone down wind.
