I was planning to have the CDL A and the big chipper done for spring. Pulled it off. I’ve got a CDL B guy starting next week too, so we’ll have enough drivers for a change. Should be pretty bad ass.
whadja do today?

What's the actual weight on that chipper? Which engine did you get on it?

JD 173. It’s a bit of a gray area, but probably like 11,500 lbs.

Post a video of it sucking down a big ash log.
No videos, just some pics. That chipper ate pretty much everything right down to the big trunk (except those few odd pieces on the side. They were from the beginning, kinda oval, so a little wide. Nice job and setup.

Good size tree, Good luck w/ the new chipper. I'd hate to be the guy who drops the first limb on it.
Hmm don't think I've ever dropped a limb on a chipper, besides little teeny tiny stuff... no offence but if you drop a limb on a chipper u deserve every lash received!

Lol. Yeah, I kinda thought the same thing, but was trying to be polite.
It must be nice to never had to work in tight spots where the bucket and chipper are right under the tree with no other drop zone.
Well if we are going to be dropping **** on the chipper because it's directly under the tree we generally don't put the chipper there or we move it b4 it gets whacked... I try not to break ****

I shouldn’t talk. I have put a couple dings in the hood of my bucket.
That a boxelder?
This is nice. Everything CDL is contained to one unit - with me and my spotless CDL A at the wheel. Lol,, who would’ve ever thunk it! I guess this is kind of my way of making up for the years of suffering and aggravation. I think I’m starting to get there.
Beautiful set up! Got a quick demo of the 19xpc myself yesterday
What’d you think? What motor? How do you like the new winch setup?
The new winch setup seems ok. I didn’t get much time with it. We were at the Cranemaninc climber class. That chipper eats some stuff though.
