I went very close to a disaster. One of my two ratchet straps holding my baby chipper broke on a sharp edge. The chipper backed a bit on my trailer ( not much because it's a tight fit), popped loose the flimsy locks and the tail gate fell on the road. I didn't heard a thing, beside the...

Indeed, but it's ballsy to tow that with this truck.:dude: I'm sure the local officiers would agree that the numbers aren't in your favor here. I even doubt that I could drag only the trailer alone with my van.:D

RE the stump grinder flip: it was secured before the crash, there are still two chains hooked at the front and and a binder lays on the trailer's back. Something may have broken.

For sure in turning and maneuvering, but even the straight path?

What amazes me is that the engine is still running. Usually, this sort of event brings the apocalypse inside (youtube data sourced).

I know that you said it's fine, but i can't avoid to feel a pain inside when I see that landing.:blob6::crazy::D I'd like to have a guess of the impact force sustained by the trailer. There's surely a formula to find that but I don't know it.

One of the problems with the safety glasses is your eyes feel in safety. They don't prepare for an intrusion as they usually do when working in a nasty environment with dust and chips flying everywhere. So when the one debris manages to find its way behind the safety glass, and it surely apens...

For your angry skin, I can't tell. I don't believe at the weld burn in this location though, but it's just a worthless guess. To protect your forearms I suggest you to find these chainsaw protection sleeves. Beside their prime duty, they are wonderful to haul and drag branches and wood, even if...

It looks like it went straight down on the counterweight's back and the boom's butt. Absolutely zero cushion. It might has done a pretty big bang. Poor thing. My guess, better case, is it's not worth repairing.

My work bench is absolutely horrible. It isn't a even a work bench to begin with. All the area is an awful mess. But on a job site, I like a clear ground, even in a forest type area. It's safer and allows more efficient moves. When I drag out the limbs, I take at the same time all the little...

I was sent to "soft prune" a big Ailanthus, because of the neighbor's concerns (overhanging limbs, shade, leaves everywhere, dozens of sprouts/ saplings...). How am I supposed to do a soft prune in this? Almost every single lateral limbs where I wanted to cut at and save for the future growth...

Stephen, insulating the whole starter doesn't seem good to me because that keeps the heat stored inside, both the radiant heat from the exhaust sneaking through and the internally generated heat from its own running. I'd go more toward a heat shield like an aluminum foil, maybe doubled under it...

It's mind blowing considering the fact that these little indents can hold such enormous loads.

About 0.05mm so 2 thousands, average measured with a digital caliper, not a micrometer. I guess it's called a slide fit.

The second main bearing on my chipper's rotor didn't want to let go, and consequently, the puller changed a bit its chape. Chinesium, but still, that's a lot of force applied and no move at all. The new bearings were delivered today, so I had no remorse to cut out the stubborn bearing with the...

I took apart my baby chipper to replace the main bearings and other things. They are worn out and the rotor is touching the side plates of the cutting chamber. Press fit and rust on the shaft make a good workout to remove the bearings. One done, but I feared to break the puller. It turns out...

So, I was wrong in guessing the respectives diameters for the holes' implantation. The pump's mount is bigger than I thought at first. This sounds pretty solid now. I guess you used threaded inserts in the plate to bolt on the pump's mount. I'm not familiar with these components. Nice milling...

I guess that's an hydraulique pump, so the unbalance can be discarded. Probably not a bent shaft nor a bad bearing. It would be nice to have a pic of the other parts and some measurements because it's hard to tell what goes where with certainty ( perspective and different pics) and the system...

The ring doesn't have any room to go in or out as is, ramp or not. It's jammed tight between the groove in the cylinder and the little recess around the head. But it can still be serviceable without telling openly that it actually is. To get it out without damaging anything, try to push the...

The japanese maple will have no chance in the fight.
