can't help you much there.. there is always wesspur, which seems to keep stuff in stock damn well compared to the others. as for the fire thing, not surprised, it's a bit of a tenderbox down that way
 
From what I know the new tribe facility has been evacuated because of the fires for now. I don’t know how long that will last. I wouldn’t wait until it says in stock to buy tho, they seem to sell fast. I ordered mine about 2 weeks ago and even tho it still says pre-order it showed up the other day. I think he sends them as they come in.

Safeties involve:
Situational awareness

Proper work positioning

Using a push stick

No hands in the no-hand zone

Working from behind the Big Steel Shield or out past the brush tips

No open pockets, hammer loops, draw strings, etc, that can snag, etc.


No cutting corners... That's how people get chipped, imo.

How many times have you used the last-chance safeties?



No idea of factory specs.

Well yeah.. haha.. i would imagine the general safe practices are important running one..

Knock on wood.. no..lol.. Ive never used the last chance cables.. & hope to never have to.. i dont even like insinuating the idea of having to..

I was just curious if there was some sort of feature built into them.. not i have ever seen one or could imagine how will it would work, but for example, was wondering if maybe it had some sort of brake on the drum.. You know what i mean..

Like i mentioned before.. ive never had the luxury of using one..lol.. I've seen em driving by.. & I've sure as shit heard them off in the distance.. just never had my hands on one... But always wondered about them..

& Now that I'm beginning to invest in tools/equipment, i know their price points will be tempting.

The last chance cables do not stop the cutter head from spinning, all they do is is stop the feed rollers.
 
the deal is, they are a swinging tiny little cable that obviously where added to satisfy some dumb assed industry safety standard, when in reality if you ever had to utilize it you would be hard pressed to actually grab one. The Emer Gency bar is good enough, the cables are stupid.
 
Now if they had a rope detector Emer Gency shut down! That would rock! Or a metal detection scanner shut down ... This metal does not belong to chipper all systems STOP!

I don't think they are carrying it anymore..

When i bought mine a few months back it was supposedly the last of the stock.

From what i understand, August has brought it all in house.. Or the majority of it anyways.. This is what TS told me a few months ago.. & then i think i heard something mentioned about it in one of his videos.. The Launch of Monkey Beaver dot com was representative of him bringing it in house...(iirc).

Mine has a round chute...way better than square. Few and far between. Might is light enough at 4400 pounds to muscle it into backyard with my mini, helped in part because of the very light tongue-weight.

I just had to put $75 in welding into it. I'm probably up to $5000 total expenses, including purchase price, aside from fuel and my labor, in 11 years. Seems hungrier than ever.

An old employee wanted to rent my chipper from me, rather than a BC1000 from a rental company. Said that in OUR trees, the bc1000 was way slower (possibly in part to a feed wheel speed setting, being a rental).

Came with 3600 hours. Just turned 4000 hours. The meter doesn't really work.

Can be run at any engine speed, so when little stuff is going in, and I don't need to blow it far, it can run at idle. Speed it up when the mini is there, stuff it, turn it down. Groundie finished feeding while I get another pre-built 'grapple pile'.

Fits MY niche.
