yeah, this was not a great choice for an anchor but it was my only option.

@@SparePhone-ej6lk thanks

Yeah I have! It’s a real PIA. There are two shear bars on this chipper actually. There is two bolts on the hydraulic tank side of the chipper. And then there are two bolts on the bottom of the chipper underneath the belt housing. You also have to take the springs off the feed wheel and jack that up so you can reach inside and pull them out. It’s annoying af.

Correction, gas tank side.

@@thearborbarber Thanks a lot. It's taking me a few day to figure out how to do that. Amazingly this is not covered in the operator's or maintenance manuals. I noticed there is a screw thread in the top of that roller housing. Do you know if that is used to attached something like an eye-bolt to pull and lift the wheel up, or do you think it's for a long bolt to screw into the top to lift it up, kinda like a screw jack. You know there not a single video on the subject anywhere that I can find.

@@jimw7043 that’s a good question. I’m gonna look at that. Because Ive been taking the springs off to lift it manually this whole time. Youre right, there is very little info on there on the maintenance of this chipper.

I put on there manually

I bought this in July and I’m really happy with it, it’s exactly what I need and it gets the job done. It chips really well and it will chip a 6 inch log. I just started my company and I get a lot of smaller pruning and removal jobs.

I would say if your just starting out and are working solo, then get it. I was worried about it not being enough chipper but it kicks ass.

That’s good to hear I just got a good deal on a bc1000 on auction and about to go pick it up, decided just to go with the bigger unit thanks again for your info👊

Thats great dude, congrats.@@benpavenko3149

Good idea, thank you.

The 12 inch diesel is night and day better! but it hurts your wallet lol.

I noticed $$ but my smaller rental chipper needs repair work and need to chip/remove many large logs up to 12 inch will help hopefully enough. Unfortunately, I don't like burning

I turned them by hand, it took some messing around to get them to fit. If you can afford to get a dump I would highly recommend it.

@@thearborbarber my 2 pick ups won't pull that dump trailer weight .could've got one but bad credit they wouldn't sell me a big truck

@@thearborbarber have hernia and torn scrotum. Am 46 and just dud huge tree had to hand unload .even when I rent a mini skid.i still have to hand unload .sucks

@@Sethhaun78 you don’t need a big truck. I have an old 95 f250 with an inline 6 in it. It gets the job done. Max your truck out and make some money.

Yeah, don't think you need a F-350 Dual Diesel to do work like this. I accidentally hauled (thanks to the operator at the pit) over 10k worth of gravel in a dump trailer (another 2.5k weight) with my 04' F150 with a 5.4. The truck didn't get moving fast and had a really hard time stopping. It's only rated to 8700 or so. Point being, the 1/2 tons do a lot more without breaking than people think. The old 1 tons from the 70's, 80's and early 90's have less tow ability HP or torque than most 1/2 tons these days.

Thank bro! It’s definitely a crazy line of work.

Thank you 👍🏼 I learned on the job. Started by picking up brush, I was lucky to have some good solid climbers teach me.

There’s no moment in time. It’s just a video title..

@@thearborbarber ah

Just some pandora radio I had playing lol

I take some of that back..I know leverage.. Nah idk

Thanks man, it’s a great skill. I wish I was more skilled in other things. Tree climbing is cool, but it’s extremely dangerous. Sometimes I wish I was just good at banging nails and carpentry.

@@thearborbarberI think we all look at each other’s trades with envy at times, what your doing is pretty dope. Nice work 🤙

Using your own climb line in a rigging scenario is not a great choice.

Thank you 🤙🏼

Thanks!

sorry to upset you, pal

Hahaha yeah I understand that.

Even underbid, it’s still a lot better than making an hourly rate for someone else.

When I bid, I estimate an hourly rate I want to make and then how long I think it will take me to complete a job. The job took a few hours longer than I expected. But the caption is mostly clickbait anyway..

Oh okay gotcha, just starting my business so was wondering what you meant. You seem good with the saw and equipment. I would definitely say you deserve top dollar for the tree service industry as a cutter/climber.

Thanks! yes it is preference, I don't like having my ascender on with my spurs and I prefer climbing drt when removing a tree. If I am pruning ill run srt all day long but basal tying on a removal is very dangerous imo.

@TheArborBarber yea I always run a canopy anchor for removals. Dont know why i said basal for a removal lol. Never a good idea to have the basal line vulnerable to big wood hitting it or getting tangled with the rigging line. I love using basals when I'm pruning, and I don't feel like getting both ends of the rope down the same passage of the tree for drt or srt canopy anchor. Usually saves a good amount of time.

Hey have they always dug in? it sounds like you might just need new pads. I personally have never had any issues with them and I climb with the Arbpro boots which are pretty low cut. I’ve had opsal pads about 4 years now

I was just brain storming a bit, you might need adjust the height of the pad. I keep mine fairly high, the top of the pad comes right below my knee.

@@thearborbarber thanks for the response, so they maybe have 60 hours total work time in them, bought them a year ago after purchasing buck leather uppers which allowed the spur shank to twist around my calf and cause blisters, so I saw the opsals and thought hey those won’t twist, as for height I have them two finger width below my knee cap when bent, and I got a bruise right where the upper back corner of aluminum is on legs, thought about lowering them, again thanks

@@jacobwilson3316 damn that kinda stinks, theyre brand new. Theres nothing like being uncomfortable in your spurs, hope you figure it out.

Duly noted**

Hey I appreciate the feedback, but I couldn’t disagree with you more. The operation went smoothly, the removal took 3 hours as a two man operation. I have one groundie who is a rookie. Rigging directly over a pool house and using a tagline isn’t do-able with limited man power and skill. I am preserving property by eliminating the ability of wrecking a pool house and two vinyl fences. I will choose to rig into another tree rather than over property every time. In hindsight I would choose to use a tagline earlier into the removal. But the big maple sustained 0 damage.

Yeah I am

Thank you

Around where I live, most are making between 20-30 dollars an hour.

@@thearborbarberNot enough!

Yes, for light rigging. It was an old climbing line.

👍

Thank you!

Sorry dude, not sure I know what a cariboner is..
