    Ditch Witch SK650 general discussion

    Am running TuffBilt tracks (from Contrax) on mine. Last set lasted almost 1000 hours. They are not turf friendly.

    Is Blue Moon a realistic expectation as a beginner-splicer?

    You would benefit from trying a couple of Stable Braid or similar rope (Husky for example) splices first. The Yale 11.7's (Blue Moon et al) have a tighter outer braid. Splicing used ropes is another kettle of fish. Good luck with your endeavors.

    Schaffer small loaders. Anyone tried one?

    Yes possible. Machine is able to lift more than its center of gravity. Counterweights will increase the tipping load. As will transporting something up a steep gradient.

    Fumble fingers

    Christian Bernard posted a YouTube video (less than 2 minutes long) called "Tool of the Gods" about using a little spring loaded 4 clawed little retriever. He puts up interesting videos on sailing.

    Life at Bartlett, employee perspectives

    Side jobs was (and mebbe still is) prohibited. I know of two former employees who ran afoul of that in my local area. One quit, one was fired. Pay wasn't decent enough to retain long term employees. Mebbe things are a lot different / better now, but going back a few years it seemed like...

    NEED NEW ENGINE bandit AW65 chipper

    Several different brand 6" chippers at local equipment rental place. All have the 38hp Briggs. My 6" Bandit has a 35hp Hatz diesel. Sourcing parts for it is a hassle, and they are spendy.

    Dusclaimer: I have changed knife bolts & nuts exactly 1 time since buying my Bandit 65XP in 2006 (The hour meter broke years ago with 1800+ hours on it.) Have never used a torque wrench on them bolts. I'm just a lucky guy is all.

    Using trunk to make table tops

    One could also use pigmented epoxy (or body filler?) to work the inevitable crack into a design feature like this table top I noticed at a local shop.

    Sherrill, again

    Customer service at big companies can honestly and truly suck is one reason, Tom. Bell Canada still periodically sends me an invoice for a 1-800 number I cancelled about 20 years ago. I did try once to actually talk to a human life form there to get the matter settled, and after being...

    Tree Motion or monkey beaver?

    Not a floating dee. It now lives in Costa Rica. I look forward to wearing it every winter for a week or two.

    Tree Motion or monkey beaver?

    X2 I added Tree Austria suspenders to my MB, because with a large saw it would drag down. No saddle I've ever either owned or tried was as comfortable or carried tool weight better than my old Sierra Morano.

    64 Asplundh Whisper Chipper,

    "... what strikes us most in considering... (these chippers)...is not so much their diabolical barbarity, which it is indeed impossible to exaggerate, as the extraordinary variety, and what may have be termed the artistic skill, they displayed. They represent a condition of thought in which men...
