I don't miss storm work. Be safe. I bet you're glad you bought that chipper and bucket. Maybe even pay them off in one season.

Not likely on the paying them off in one season, but that would be sweet. Lol.
Definitely glad I bought the bucket and chipper at the moment, though!! I’d be lost without them. Nice when things work out like that.
It is what it is, just do it,,

Just cause you have two chippers doesn't mean you need to bring them both with..........,,.

tricky wind thrown stump up a slope last week put up a fight,, had to hack its nail ridden head off, rubb it and fork rake shovel away 4m3+ of grindings
Ha flash back to the guy in a thread not too long ago who didn't know what to do with a 30 inch uprooted stump since you would have to grind sooo much and have to repair the yard, lol

Right now it’s pouring repairs on me. My intl is out with engine problems, my loader is at the dealer, my cabover has an emissions code that the dealer won’t pony up to, and the clutch fan in my bucket broke after I replaced it last year.
Not trying to whine over here but a man just needs his equipment to work. It’s a good thing I had a forestry bucket because if I had a rear mount I’d have no chip truck.
I talked to kenworth about a new truck and they were totally cool until they told me I’d have to wait five months. That’s a long time.

Kenworth, eh? Wow, isn’t that like marqueen style? Whatcha thinking, bucket or chip truck?
Trucks (beyond like a pickup) in general seem like they can take forever to get. When I was pricing out buckets, altec told me it might be as long as a year (or more, I forget) to get a truck. I was thinking I might be dead by then. Lol

That means realistically you probably have it for January. Brr. Lol

I’m thinking of hooklift if some sort on a k270. Then have my intl blasted and painted and the same hooklift put on that too over the winter.
The dealer I bout my UD cabover from had now told me I’m skrewed for parts five years early. What kills me is downtime.
I calculated that Friday and Saturday I lost about 500 bucks a day not having my stuff working.
If I sign papers for the kenworth in August I wil have it for spring. No sense getting it in January.
So what’s the advantage of this hooklift deal exactly? You can have a dumpster to drop off and a chip truck all in one, is that the deal? I’m kind of ignorant on the whole hooklift thing.

Easier to load, multiple function on the same truck, you can haul a loader or grinder in the bed and tow a trailer.
I have to see it putting 10k in payload would make it difficult to hoist on the truck. As long as the cab end doesn’t lift up I’m good.
Right now I’m fighting a warranty dispute with the dealer. They have in their computer that I bought the truck on 4/3/13 but that bs. I didn’t even test drive the c & c until 4/15/13. I know that because it was the day of the Boston marathon bombings. I received the truck on 6/28/13 and that’s when the warranty starts. Not when the dealer is tinkering with it.

The wharf is a cool spot, a lot of grifters looking to scam tourists though. I got a free pass to the wax museum years ago.

Just some more tornado pics. Been jumping around this neighborhood for the last few weeks. Fixing to finish up tomorrow and go back home to my regular work. Had enough,, I think...Me one one guy took that that oak down off the mountain, chipped it, and forwarded the logs down to the street yesterday. Plywood up and all (see it on the left). Was a good day.
That was a tulip log, not ash. That chipper is the most bestest purchase ever!! I’m totally blown away by how nice it is to work with every day. Tractor and grapple is actually perfect for this type of work too. The ability to process whole trees in a matter of minutes is quite nice.
