@lumberjack, Curious if you ended up adding the lift/crush cylinder and how it worked out. I am looking into doing it on a similar chipper. I know this is an old thread but have not found many answers elsewhere. I am thinking of ordering the stuff you mentioned in your first few posts and...

Thanks Joel. I need 4x4, shoulda mentioned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Still no luck. While I do like the truck, it is really not enough truck and is falling apart. Received 10k estimate to tighten it up 😳. Only have 7k in this truck. Have not found much of anything out there.. Looking in the 20k range. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks gonna need it. Looked through the entire Tree Trader for an F550 and it made me want to just fix up my current chip truck, a 97 F350 7.3 diesel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am potentially looking to upgrade my chip truck. I am looking for something that has been maintained, is relatively clean and not too rusty. Would like to find a crew cab F550 or F450 (7.3 diesel preferred) with L-packs and Southco (or similar) chip body, removable roof preferred. Located...

Thanks , are you saying I should add a 3rd set screw to each shaft? I am already gonna have to add one cause I broke one off with the impact. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks anyway but I ended up finding the problem. Did not realize it had keyed shafts. Just needed new woodruff keys and the set screws retightened. FWIW I found the motors through Altec in Shelby, NC. They are around 600 each +/- Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh and FWIW here's a pic of the original spruce. Don't have one from farther out. Maybe it could be left as is and be fine for years, or be static cabled and braced to high hell and still fail! Who really knows! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought that ALL artificial support systems require annual inspection per ANSI standards? Here is a large ash we pruned. The branch rigged up in the pic was dead and decayed from the drilling site and upwards. There was another steel cable in the tree which had failed at the eye. The new...

I am going to be cabling a co-dom Norway spruce where the leaders may be too close together to splice in the Branch Saver. Wondering if there are any tricks to install Branch Saver in this situation. The tree is not huge and the crotch is very included but not splitting. Would like to avoid...

Lower feed motor quit on the job yesterday. Getting 2250 psi to the bad motor. Does anyone have a source for these motors? Painfully slow progress through Altec.. Also I am looking for a mechanics manual for this chipper; not the owners manual but a real shop manual if they made one...

I would like to have one.. Truck is great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ALC guys what do you run your truck at, 1200 RPM? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am looking for GIS mapping software that will let me take a detailed tree inventory. I want my clients to be able to see any recommendations for individual trees, as well as request that work be done on individual trees. I would like to find something that does not have a huge initial...

Re mount done by ALC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks. Super stoked. Good old ALC is right! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My new rig's been kickin ass! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Should I have buried it deeper? It was tempting. Will it ever "recover" from girdling damage? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, good eye! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

By the way we did end up getting that L2800. It is a handy little beast! Thanks for the replies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
