Thanks for digging up and posting that info, Gary.

That is nuts, Old Irish

Murph, I have a loader but the winch is still indispensable, imo. Sean, I think it is a hazardous set up no matter the skill of the crew. Just too many levers, and I have no idea how it safer than a Morbark system, winch cable can still be as easily sucked in with the BB system.

Damn close though!

Levi, I gotta ask, is that your real name?? If so, you lucked out! Right up there with Boone Speed.

If you guys want a separate lever to be able to stop the feed wheels in addition to being able to stop them with the feed bar, that's a fine idea. But for maximum production safely , it's critical to be able to use the winch and feed wheels and feed wheel lift simultaneously, imo.

Omg, that stupid ass selector lever to switch the juice from the winch to the feed wheels. AFter running a morbark where you can run the winch and the feed wheels and the feed wheel lift all at the same time, running the brush bandit winch is absurdly slow and complicated, and not one iota safer...

Bandit has something like a second anvil, above the drum, that is designed to cut any cable or rope that gets sucked in, preventing high speed wrapping around the drum. That probably happens a lot with BB, the controls are so bloody complicated. But it helps makes nice chips.

Lunatic, compared to moi anyway. Be safe.

MB, why would you do that. Always tie in twice. I thought you were into the basic safety measures, like no free climbing even though everyone did it back in the day. Cutting on the trunk with just a lanyard? Way too risky for this tree guy. Way too easy to make a small, fatal mistake. I like to...

Id rather be distracted by that than any ol conversation!

2 things come to mind. 1) Converstions kill. Meaning, when outsiders (custys, for example) strike up conversation and interrupt the flow, bad things can happen. Isn't that basically how Jerry's foot got injured? 2) Taking trees down where there isn't a clear, unobstructed view between the...
