whadja do today?

[tree MDS]

I'm glad to be done with this place for the year (I think). Never dealt with so much big wood from one place in a year I don't think (or stumps). Even put the Deere to the test (both visits).

Not the best chaining job (or man on the chain, Lol), but we got it done and beat the real rain by like ten minutes.

I even seeded and mulched the stumps like a good boy. Something might grow.. did hear its supposed to be warm next week.

I have about a month of work right now, so any work I can get for in December is a blessing.

If you get a seed mixture with a little rye in it, you will get germination in a week or two.

Yes, but the payments wouldn't be... at least not for me at this point. I probably owe less than 3k on that chip box as we speak, everything else paid for. And it really doesn't take that long to wrap a chain. Just saying.

I agree the payments would be the problem for me, i dont like owing people a lot of money. I owe some now but it is little money. But that truck sure would be nice to have.

Little JD 4100, had to drag it onto the truck with the front wheel cocked and locked up. If I knew I'd be doing tree work with it when I bought it I would have went a lil bigger. But then I'd probably be kicking myself when I couldn't get it into a back yard too. Can't win either way.

I think it's a tosss up between a Vermeer and a DW. The other thing you have to take into consideration is customer service and parts availability. I think Vermeer is the way to go. Don't buy a boxer whatever you do.

Interesting. almost bought a Boxer two weeks ago. I've heard the underside pistons that widen the tracks can have issues. I've also heard the Vermeer 600 had problems but the 650 fixed the issues. I haven't heard of any issues with ditch witch.

 

[NCTREE]

Yeah I've used the 600 seemed ok to me. I just bought a 650 and love it. I heard parts can be hard to get for the boxer.

I hate to see this word it is so overused but.....that was AMAZING on so many levels. I don't think that fatboy would have fit under that bigger tree if he made it underneath
