Ha I try to keep that in mind often, still its not foolproof.

Gotta have one.

With 6 skid steers, buckets, tractors and trailers, big chippers, do you guys have a full time mechanic?

Gen. Douglas MacArthur said something like, 'It is not enough to give instructions that can be understood, you must give instructions that cannot be misunderstood'

Its gotta be to be taught.:thumbup:

That makes sense, Dave. The G search was kinda inconclusive. We all know not to ride the brakes down a hill.

Same here, Merle. So the engineer agreed 3 bumps approx should be good, true? Funny you mention the braking on a hill analogy, I've never been sure of the correct answer there. I'll google it. Re clutch bumping, couldn't you argue that 10 little bumps could = 3 big bumps, because it will...

Agreed. It is hard to believe, for example, that the chipper should'nt be roaded with the chute backwards. Lotta chippers are lucky to not be roaded with the chute sideways, clipping whatever as they travel down the road.

Maybe they are different clutches in different machines and so have different requirements, idk. It would seem fewer bumps would mean less burning. In nick's vid, I thought something must be jamming the knives cuz it was taking so many bumps, but apparently that wasn't the case. On our machine...

Fwiw, Bandit told me the opposite re clutch engagement, bump it just 3 or 4 times to avoid burning the clutch.
