    I don't think that the hinge typically needs any extra support by wedges. I'd go three across the back. More rotational leverage. Less unwanted vertical force on the hinge. I've worked around a drum-hollow 4-5' cottonwood as the sawyer cut, I snugged wedges to prevent the weight from...

    Eric, why 2 in the sides, one in the rear? The one wedge in the rear did way more work than needed. Plastic being brittle at 15*F seems reasonable. Its easy to beat wedges into the tree and have some upward and downward force, not being dead horizontal.

    Nice chipper, Mick. Merle, have you seen Carl's scoop video? I think that with some set-ups, it would be a good tool to have. With a dump trailer, not having to be concerned about debris in with tree pieces, a great tool, from the looks of it. New scoops might be updated. Someone...

    How deep is deep enough on such an application? How much tube sleeved over tube maximizes strength, beyond which, and additional length is of no benefit? If I can use a 3' as effectively as a 4', I will.

    I've used the Bagster and tarps made into 'burritos', then grabbed in the grapple. I can slide it into my chip truck that way, or onto a trailer.

    I'm envisioning a 90 degree elbow turning from horizontal to vertical as a rigging point. I can see that hole now, thought the house window. A straight pole coming out would make a better pushing tool than the push-teeth/ spikes. More leverage. Next trip the welder perhaps. On my L-bracket...

    What a good idea. Did you have to drill a hole for the pin? Carl set up a gin pole sort of thing when he had a tree on a roof above an AC unit. I thought how good it would be to be able to make rigging point for some situations, such as a very long conifer limb over landscape plants. If the...

    I think bagsters are okay. Better than a tarp, and not much more $30. I have a hard time lifting it with my mini and grapple, height wise, but I can. Maybe better to hang on the bollard post. The drawstring bags seem to be where its at. Anyone have a link to buy? Anyone know the height of the...

    A winch is a cheap production booster, especially compared to the purchase price for that machine.

    Meditation, Jim? Just look on YouTube for an easy start. Helps anxiety. Being an emergency responder gives you a lot to be anxious about.
