It is amazing how many homes were saved with fire just yards from the homes. Watching 8 or 9 air drops timed so perfect,, Very impressive.

Took some pics going home to get some stuff loaded in my truck.

Are you loading stuff up because of the fire?

I sold the old chipper so I could pay off $700 worth of bills a month so the new payment wasn't so bad. I used to have a hell of a hard time getting loans. I started dealing with Phil @ liberty financial and he gets me loans without all the bs the banks give you. I have 4 loans threw them right now. This last time i didn't even have to send in my tax return from last year. I just called and he called me.back at the end of the day and said your good to go. That's the kind of people I like to deal with. If you need a loan, talk to phil.

Maybe treevet can teach me how to sell EAB treatments for high profits to folks that don't know it probably won't work in the long run anyway. EAB just arrived in the KC area, and some folks are getting curious about saving their trees until I tell them a cost for annual treatments.

That is so out of character for you to make such an ignorant statement....or maybe you are just kidding. We are in very high pressure and there are ash standing dead within eyesight of any place you find yourself...except for the injection treated trees, which are shining lush and healthy like there was no such thing as EAB. People are fully conditioned to pay for the treatments...as long as they are done at the right time, with the right stuff, in the proper dose, dose and timing. Sure some opt out for being fed up with the annual or bi annual payments...but to some it is just pocket change. And it seems for every 1 that drops out, 2 new ones call me and are just changing arborists for whatever reason so they have been protected and now it is just my turn to take their money.

Same with my guy. Maybe 10 loans over the last 10 years, all paid off and now just a call and it is mine, pretty much whatever I want.

I consider when I get my mind set on something in effect sort of "capturing" it. I shop it, dicker a little, call Western Finance, Joel Schuman, buy it and in my mind I have captured it and whatever it takes to keep it, I am gonna do it, be it working every day or whatever (not been nec. but if it was I'd do it).

In MA you have to have title, registration, safety inspection, and you better believe they will tow your **** if you don't.

no title here on my chipper, trailer sprayer, trailer stumper and no registration, inspection or nuthin. They are even listed as "equipment" in my insurance policy as opposed to my 4 trailers that take a registration.

listen...anyone wants the easy recipe to making some good bucks doing eab with Mauget, just pm me and I will go over it with you. so simple it will amaze you. I learn so much on forums it is nice to give back a little.

 

[dbl612]

Yep. That would get Mr. DOT all excited, wouldn't it?

conn. requires chippers to be registered with a title or vert of origin by manufacturer. can't pass up on those taxes and fees ya know

 

[ducaticorse]

Off topic but does anyone know where I can source one ton srw leafs for a 04F350 that aren't ridiculously expensive?

So speaking of chippers, there is a 97 morbark 2400 18" for sale with 3100 hrs on it next town over. I haven't looked at it yet so I cannot comment on its condition, but it has had a recent clutch. I currently run a 98 morbark model 13 with 2400hrs and couldn't be more pleased with it. However, since the introduction of the crane, I can see that it's 12-15 inch cap is getting limited fast. I'm confident I could sell the 13 for what I paid for it after having worked it for an entire year and get into the 2400 for pretty much even money. Now that I've typed this out I really don't know what my point was in doing so lol. I think I was going to ask for opinions....

I heard the pre 98 models didn't have enough fan paddles to move air and would clog up easy. The fix is to just add more air fins

I'm trying to find out info on it now. He says he thinks it's got jd 140 in it. Is that what yours has seems short on hp for an 18, but I suppose auto feed handles that issue. I'm getting the vin on it tomorrow.

Check out super duty forums. Similar to equipment trading on here, the guys that lift the trucks have the old parts for cheap money.

That is true all over the country. My point was that most chippers do not have titles or any GVWR ratings, so Mr. DOT cannot hold you responsible for any CDL requirements.

It matters not at all what some load weighs. If you could tow a 50,000lb chipper/grinder with your F-150 you still wouldn't need a CDL if the machine had no title or trailer license. The only thing that counts for CDL requirements is the Gross Vehicle Weight RATING. Curiously, they cannot give you an overweight ticket for exceeding your GVWR either. They only give tickets for other overweight stuff.

Exact same situation here. No plate or title on chippers. A chipper is considered an apperatus not a trailer same as a towable welding machine for example. It doesn't matter what the weight of it is, however if you have a plated trailer the weight matters.

 

[chief116]

Ive had buddies get pulled over for not having plates for cars they were towing on dollies. MA sucks, if wheels hit the public street, it needs to be taxed, titled, registered and inspected.

As far as overweight goes, I've had the DOT weigh me, then check the GVW, GCRW, the registered ratings and even the ratings on the tires to get me for overweight. I would have been ticketed for being over on any one of those.

My chipper has the 140 hp John deere. If your chipping big wood all day long, then you will want more hp. I don't know what it weighs, but the 2005 2400 I demo weighed in at. 11000lbs. Which would require you to have a cdl

There is a company around here treating for EAB but I am sure it too late. They go and treat the trees and then I get the call to remove them later. I have seen success with treatments tho. Like you said, right time, right stuff, right dose etc.
