    I have long since ceased supporting Trump, and most of what he does.

    I like the sound of that. As long as the protests, stay peaceful and protest like, and don’t turn into looting festivals, I am all for it. I’m not so wild about the idea of dousing some poor guy with water in that cold though.

    Chipper drum failure

    If I had one rebuilt like that, by one of the local good shops, that’s what I would expect. Maybe not lathe turned, but definitely balanced.

    Chipper drum failure

    I would rebuild a drum, but only if it was welded by a truly qualified shop. There’s a couple around here I know could do it properly. I am a good welder myself, and da fair amount of welding; I’ve repaired stress cracks on a drum, and last summer built up worn pockets on a chipper here, but I’m...

    Chipper drum failure

    I agree, from those photos it does not look great.

    Chipper drum failure

    What’s with the big crack on the side of the pocket visible in the photo? Also, I don’t like that inside taper design of the drum, seems that would allow a certain amount of flex in the skin that might cause it to be more prone to delamination. Hopefully that repair holds up well for you, and...

    I’ve never seen a video quite like that, thank you for posting it! I have long been a fast reader, my normal “slow“ reading speed is around 450 words per minute, I can push that to 600 words per minute with no problem. I surprised myself, I could keep up at 900 words per minute with no issues at...

    Light 14 or 16" narrow kerf bar for 200t or 201t

    All of ours are 201TC-M models, we run 16 inch bars with 3/8 inch picco chain from Stihl, .043 gauge, and they work great. The Stihl lightweight bars are excellent, and the M-Tronic carburetors are wonderful.

    Used Saws and Blowers Values

    A friend and former employee of mine has just learned he will be deported next week, after more than 20 years here in this country legally, working hard to raise his family. He has asked me to help him sell a few things, but I am not up on used equipment values so I’d appreciate some help in...

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    I heard from Marco’s family again today, with some sad news. It looks like he is going to be deported, and likely as soon as next week. Lawyers have been called, but they all say that nothing more can be done. Once the government decides to deport someone, apparently it can’t be stopped. This...

    That is very well written, and shows he thought out what he had to say before posting it. If only the majority would do that, there would be far less violence and far more progress in discussion and compromise!

    Yes, I believe that stories like this are what need to be heard. Outrage in and of itself is not wrong, anger and rage can in fact be right, if properly directed and used. I use Jesus as an example of that myself, when he went through the Jewish temple in Jerusalem with a whip and drove out...

    I am not usually one to post in political threads, as I am in the minority here and don’t wish for contention. However, I received a phone call this evening that has prompted a post in this thread. The family of a former employee of mine (he had to leave trees for a while for health reasons...

    mini grapples.

    Thank you, we will certainly reach out with issues. Not everyone is good at running a horizontal grapple in tight places, but it works well if you know how. Feeding with one is not hard, with a little practice. And the horizontal grapple is better for large logs, that’s one of the big reasons...

    mini grapples.

    We chip all day, and specialize in limited access removals of large trees. The demolition style grapple is the best option we’ve found for full size machines. The Branch Manager free swinging grapple is what we find to be best for mini loaders. I ran a mini all day today myself actually, with a...

    Now that paragraph takes me back to my college days! I haven’t thought about electrical components like those in a long time.
