Yeah just a hook. If i got that direction i will be getting a grapple so i don't have to sling everything

 

[tree MDS]

I agree. By the time the two sections of roof were off I'd already be stuffing logs in with the tractor. No tool boxes either. Nice chip body though! I'm sure it would be handy to have around, but I wouldn't buy it.

Why does that name "Jim's " tree service sound familiar ?

 

[capetrees]

Treevet back yet?

 

[KenJax Tree]

[tree MDS]

Yes, things are definitely not going in a good direction.

 

[capetrees]

Indirectly, that's what I was referring to.

Right. And if you're not buying 55 gallon drums of bar oil from BJ's, retipping stumper teeth, making your own chains, and whatever else bored cheap bastards stress about, you're also losing money. Me, I can live with losing a little at that rate. lol

Haha we have 55 gallon drums of bar oil,antifreeze, and highranger oil 500 gallons of engine oil and 500 of regular hydro. on road, off road and unleaded and a tank for 50:1 spin our own chains (only takes a couple mins) sharpen our own chipper blades we however don't splice or retip stumped teeth

 

[tree MDS]

Hey.. I get it, some guys hide in the basement and work on their ham radios, others take up splicing and retipping stumper teeth. To each his own, the MDS says!!

 

[jefflovstrom]

Mad dash to get all the school work done before school starts,,what a day!
Massive euc removals around a football field. Eight of them averaging 28"dbh to 52" dbh,,,no grind and chip on the slope.
I wish guys would would want to pull in some overtime, I have no choice.
It sure was a beautiful day! I think the Vet took the gloomy out of So-Cal when he left without me knowing,,or maybe it is a coincidence?

All new chippers have vin tags like trailers do, saying the weight, tire sizes, vin number, date of manufacturer

That's just a huge engineering FAIL to not shave off 13lb to slide it in under cdl a. If u wrecked in Boston you'd be holding your dick in your hand for not having that CDL A.

We know. Same here. I think the Dan and JJ are part Amish, so maybe different there. I know trailers don't need plates, they splice their own slings, retip stumper teeth, etc.

 

[2treeornot2tree]

Should be getting my replacement chipper mid next week.

 

[treeclimber101]

All ya gotta do is roll out the winch and cut it ... Easy peasy back underweight real quick

 

[tree MDS]

In a perfect world!!

I loaded mine with Amstel. Anyway, it doesn't matter what the sahnbit weigh, it only matters what it's tagged for from the factory. DOT be like "f u, pay me".

 

[2treeornot2tree]

My new chipper isn't coming from the factory with a winch so the tag is only gonna say the weight is like 9250 lbs.
