I did my first real tree yesterday ! What a bummer ...... Went to step over the chipper caught the little dog leash cable for the breakaway and went down hard on the ice slammed my head into the tailpipe of the dump which has a piece of angle welded to it to keep the flap from touching and burning . Opened my hand good and hurt my neck real bad ! I agree **** this I am gonna do a few small jobs til this **** melts

I'm not even gonna jinx myself by busting your ass on that one. Lol.

Thought I was alone.

Fell off the back of the truck yesterday tossing logs up into the truck. Slipped, legs went out from under and 5 feet down fell directly on the pintle frame of the chipper trailer. Full weight, no deflection right on the side of my thigh. Ultimate charliehorse! Thought I was gonna pass out. The guys couldn't do anything to help. End of the day finally looked at the injury and the whole back of my thigh is red and purple. Was swollen but it's gone down now but still limping.

WOW what pain. Surprised it didn't break.

Air brakes frozen? Disconnect the air compressor line, pour a bunch of Heet into the line and reattach. Cycle the brakes a few times, and it usually breaks things loose...sometimes not without a long wait, though.

If it is a common problem, make sure you drain the air tanks every day and just keep adding the heet. They make airline dryers, and de-icing chemical injectors, but I never tried those out.

I just had to put a air dryer on my chip truck. It was $300. my breaks froze up the other day before I put on the air dryer and I put some air brake antifreeze in the line and it was fine.

Have been having problems with my chipper. Wouldn't come up to speed? Checked everything, change filters, bled the system, still nothing? Sitting there, wondering W T F. Comes up to about 1200 rpm and thats it. Cannot figure out what is going on, nightmares of the pump going bad start rolling thru me head. She is 25 years old! Happen to look at the throttle cable, what tis dis? I see a little shiny spot on the outer housing. What thy hell! Damn cable slide back about half a inch! Put it back in place, runs great. Damn it!

check the simple things first-there is always time to escalate.

Two weeks ago I started my log loader and it would ldle but go to idle it for the PTO it would start to die. The fuel was jelling up when it was going through the lines to the motor.

That's what I thought was wrong with it, put in the garage for a couple days and force fed the wood stove, then advanced from there. I need to go out and chip a bunch a crap out back, but it was -35 here this morning........its up to 5 now and I am just not feeling it.

Its 12 right now. My nose is so stuffed up my upper teeth hurt and a bad headache. Its going to warm up this week and the extended forecast looks pretty good!

Getting ready for storm Pax on wednesday. This one could be interesting depending on how it tracks. The state has taken all the supplies of bulk rock salt due to shortages. Magnesium chloride for the walkways is gone. Its every man for himself.
