whadja do today?

Yeah, having a separate truck for wood (or whatever) and to tow the tractor kicks ass. What a difference already. We're destroying these local jobs now. I even got the one ton out for topsoil/plywood carrying this week.

Yeah, it looks exciting! Looks like you have some good help, I wouldn't want clowns drive those. I wouldn't drive them either, I would scrape them, probably break the mirrors off the MOOSE right off the bat. 4X4?

Working on my Bandit 2007 Bandit XP - No auto feed- suspect electrical.

The tach is in limp mode the display read a fault code at all times. I followed troubleshooting. The magnetic pick - up that screws into the bell housing seems to high of ohm, about 50 than spec which is 150. It said to check VAC at alt and mag-pu. I only read DC at the alt and nothing at mag.

I took out mag and inspect. Seem slight gouging on tip, clean and replace to factory spec.


Then I took the clutch cover off, broke a bolt, drilled and got an Easy Out worked, I used magnets to stop filings from going in clutch.

Had to take belt cover off to drill out bolt, found broken weld, fixed that.

I need to find a cable luber. I used to have one.

I like the chevy even more now that I have The Ram. I just bought THE RAM, for my ARBORIST PRUNING DIVISION. lol

Lop and scatter. The theory is bark beetles are poor flyers, so if all the slash is cut up in small pieces, there won't be nothing for them to take flight.

How does cutting the pieces smaller prevent their spread?

This is a very good question. I would tell you, but as I am an arborist now, it'll have to cost you,,, lol

Realistically, probably nothing. But this was put in place originally by the forests service. Most bark beetles are notoriously bad flyers. The often use the prevailing winds as can be seen in dead trees going down wind on a Ridge. So if they can't get a boost by jumping off at hight they can't go far. Or so protocol says.
True or not, when every pine and fir in the area is infested its a moot point. Still beats removing logs and chipping slash which has to be done 100 ft from a road or on privite property.

If those trees were infected getting them on the ground cut up would definitely reduce a forest fire potential.

you did nothing, i just commented your equipment looked like tree pornography and the word was blanked out by some watchdog that thought it was a bad word. whoever that is hasn't done much tree work, there are a lot worse words and terms used.

I figured that out after I responded. Was a little lost for a second there. I had to summon my arborist powers, then it came to me.

About those new 6.7 dodges, do you need to take the cab off to access the engine like all the ford diesels?

I talked with my mechanic about this a little before I decided. He asked me if I've even seen under the hood of a new ford, said you could take a piss on it and not one drop will reach the ground.

Which just reaffirms what I've been saying my whole life. That blue oval looks just like the urinal mint in the port-a-pottie. Piss on them things

So I assume there's some room to put a baby arm in there. Good, I'm glad Cummins learned from ford's mistake. The first time I saw the ford 6.7 I thought it was a cruel joke.

Workie, workie. Back at my hemlock hedge from hell today. 50 and drizzling seems like a good day for such a project. I don't even care really,, just want this piece of crap out of my life so I can move onto some fun jobs with a clear conscience. Maybe the sun will come out this week too. That would be nice.
