I can't stress enough that being able to self-lower and self-speed line is a crucial skill for making it productive to do Some jobs solo, or without a skilled groundie. Even with skilled groundie, you can keep yourself busy sending things down, and the groundie focused on handling what is...

Brendon says the Ditch Witch is the bomb, after his boxer frame broke. For me, the ability to retract the track down to 34.5", and expand them to 43.5", with the lifting power was huge. If you don't need tight access, don't worry about that, and don't have the moving parts/ cylinders/ motors...

Boxer 532 DX, probably gone are the 32 hp diesel like mine, down to 25 hp (gas, maybe). Talk to Carl/ Lumberjack. How much do you pay for W/C? None on an Ogre! Mini's make you money!!! Might help you pay for the chipper faster. If you are in a hardwood area, and/ or have an 12"-ish...

Was this on uneven ground, hills, cross slope? I expect this would all happen on level, hardened ground. The gravel road I was mini-towing up was new, and not fully hardened. I broke traction before running out of grunt.

right! I have towed my chipper up a steep gravel hill with my Boxer. Probably a similar slope onto a tandem axle trailer, and similar to a dump trailer. I do have 10' engineered, aluminum ramps for my chip truck to cut the grade over standard trailer ramps. Would probably be a combo of...

A mini can serve as the parbuckle muscle. I've been putting easy thousand pound life in my 42" high chip body via BMG, more than one log high. I stopped loading due to weight. I figured the logs at 1/2 full+ was equivalent to a full load of chips.

At this junction, in my market, I don't want a lift truck. I wonder about being able to put a chipper (3-5,000 pounds) in a dump trailer or flatbed trailer using my Boxer, with the Boxer going on the trailer or on the chip truck. This would stay under CDL. When a groundie isn't available, a...

E Go I like it well enough to look into a pro electric saw. Considered a corded on for weekend ground work. No exhaust is sweet!

Pruned two madrones and removed a small willow, cleaned up, too. Thank you Coolvest!!

Bottom of speed line tied off to ground anchor, Apta and wraptor up about 70', anchor to end of the speed line on a big branch, speed line smaller branches, and used tail of rope to lower the last big limb down the speed line. Used HO's new electric battery powered saw. I like electric. I...

This is with the ladder out from where I set rigging on the 30'ish reddish Madrone spar. Rolling solo, rather than climb and chunk rounds down and behind me with a leaning spar, or Belay Spooling down chunks, attached end of line, and mid line I did it all from the ground. Throw line to make...

I'll make an appropriate stick for the truck.

I work in an area with steep hills down to the water as I had today. I was just doing a little pruning for a friend. Chocking tires on a steep hill is a challenge for one person. an automatic transmission parking pin can get pinched by too much pressure to shift out of park if the vehicle rolls...

Its going to be difficult flying the 'spotter' drone for the radio controlled loader at the same time. :lol: New Sean had a cat at the emergency vet, didn't get to sleep until 3am, called at 7 saying 'not today'. So I worked 2.5 miles from home, as scheduled. Got a late start, removed a...

Ya, no kidding. They have them for stumpers. What does it take?

An operator. If you pile up a bunch of brush by free falling it from the tree, it sucks to pull apart by hand. A machine doesn't care. An owner can do so much work with a machine that previously was hand-work. Sometimes, you need the operator to work with the climber, like lift and lower...

You can buy a grinder for a mini, bit a grinder is only a grinder. You might be able skid branches, maybe. You've got a bucket truck already, right? Wraptors preserve the body and make money.

And a mini and wraptor.

Critical mass is critical, Willie. I hear what you're saying. I want employees to make me money, and themselves money, too.
