Longer than two and a half hours set up and brake down included. And I'll be mother fahked if I was loading all that trunk wood into the back of a dump by hand. Not to mention that entire tree was over two garages and a fence. All set with rigging that out...

It's a beast on logs, not so much on brush. Im adding a winch this week that will rectify that situation. Single feed wheel has trouble pulling in big tops on its own. I'm also going to take half a foot off each of the feed wheel Springs.

Looks good. Have extra feed wheel springs made because they will break if any shorter,,ours did.

**** just realized yours only has one wheel? Ours has upper and lower, hmmmm interesting figured the same model # would have the same major features??

 

[2treeornot2tree]

My new model m18rx has only one feed wheel. The regular m18r has 2 feed wheels.

Nope, knew it off the rip. The winch and tightening the springs will sort it out.

At times you're right, some times it's easier with the bucket. Situation dictates.

I've seen them work, they go quick with bucket. The next pick is already choked by the time the ball gets back to the tree. The only advantage I can think for Ducatis crew would be getting the crane closer to the tree, but it looks like he is getting good at tight work zones.

Nothing helps those fukin springs... No hydro down?

 

[ducaticorse]

I'm not complaining about the chipper by any means. I paid a ridiculous price for it. Even with the winch I'm. Only into it for 14k. And it has a 195JD and 1800 hours.

It has hydro down. Didn't seem to help too much today. The feed wheel sits too high above the feed tray for the smaller stuff. I'll take some pictures tomorrow
