    Camper van for traveling

    Nice Tom I picked up a truck camper. Wanted to have the option of towing a trailer and didn't want to add another maintenance requiring vehicle.

    chipper PTO leaking

    Yeah, usually the OD of the seal is larger that the ID of the bell housing.

    chipper PTO leaking

    @Jehinten you'll need to pull the bell housing off.

    Service drop power line - Pay Attention!

    Yeah but he said if you have to make contact inspect them. I work near hot drops too but not if I'm contacting them.

    Service drop power line - Pay Attention!

    Sorry man but... If you need to work near any lines, insulated or not, have them dropped or de-energized. Every power company I'm aware of will disconnect or drop service lines at no charge. Work near lines that are insulated need the same precautions as a line that is uninsulated.

    EAB for All Ash ? (e.g. Black Ash)

    Sorry Tom but they are at central Minn doorstep if not already there. I feel bad for a lot of my clients. My next largish job on my schedule I'm removing 27 ash trees, most in the 16" to 20" dbh range. There will only be five trees left on the property when I leave, all under 6".

    Mini Skids

    Depends on the tow vehicle. I wouldn't do it with a 2" receiver style hitch but no problem if it has a hitch plate welded on the back of the truck. Even some of the newer 2 1/2" receivers have really high tounge weight capacities and would be fine.

    Mini Skids

    With a mini now in the mix two people can do a ton of work and not feel completely exhausted at the end of the day. One other decent guy is all you need to be very productive.

    Mini Skids

    You know none of us are tired of hearing from you. I really think you will love your mini but it won't take long and you'll be wishing you got one with a little more capacity. You'll still love it, but just wish it more umph. I think you're still in need of a dump trailer too! I like the idea...

    Don't take Certifications for Granted

    The only cert I'd put any weight behind is the tcia accreditation. At least they come out and take a look at your operation before giving you the accredited status.

    Mini Skids

    I'd see if you can get the exact trailer built with 5k axles instead of 7's and you can always change out to 7k's if you need to or ever bend one but your tag will still say 10k. Axles themselves are fairly inexpensive as long as the are 7k's or under. The prices on brake and axle parts go way...

    Depending on what seals you are talking about

    Weak infeed roller WC17

    98% chance it's the key way. If you keep eating the seals the bearings are probably gone too and/or you have a nick or burr where the seal rides.

    Mini Skids

    You definitely want the 14 footer. It's nice when you can stack a few small logs in front and down one side and still squeeze in your avant and not have to make a return trip for it. You do want a 10k gross trailer to stay under cdl. Or unless your planning on getting a helper/ground guy to...

    Often it's a broken key way.
