    Big chipper

    We have 2 high capacity chip trucks, dump was 5 miles from job so Robby was shuttling trucks. Bottom line Brutus saved us at least a half day on this job alone!

    Big chipper

    I spent $35K on this chipper Buyers remorse? Not even. Shit I just cannot believe how much this thing speeds the job up. We did 60 yards of chips by 9_30 this morning. Crushed a huge job...... Hydraulic tank gets way too hot for my liking, 170f but I'm putting a couple of oil coolers on the...

    Big chipper

    Yes he is short:lol: also ocd I believe, we told him to move the chute around to keep the chip truck evenly filled and I guess he can't see in the back of the truck so he stands up there. I have long since given up on trying to figure folks out. If it works I don't care, plus he is very...

    Big chipper

    I wanna put a grapple kinda device on mine, a yarding arm of sorts. To keep it simple to operate I was thinking of a mere telescoping arm with a grapple on it so you just grab brush and suck it in so idiots don't have to figure out how to make 2 cylinders make a piece move laterally. I need...

    Big chipper

    Yup when you roll with a crane the ground equipment needs to keep up. How do you feed the brush into it? We have one guy with a wheel loader , with the new chipper he has no trouble keeping up with our 35 ton grove. Good looking chipper BTW

    Big chipper

    Matdand, you did say something in one of the vids about the axle looking weird, I chose to ignore it as I really wanted this chipper:) I also put a new auto feed on it. Robbie my climber worked with a 1990 for a month last winter in Hawaii and raved about it. He now says the 565 chips WAY...

    Big chipper

    We have two chip trucks and that is the small one, thinking about taking the boom off of the knuckle boom truck and extending the bed from 16: to 20. We do make a lot of chips in a hurry. Cory the chipper has a hydraulic jack and I lowered it all the way down and put jack stands under the feed...

    Big chipper

    Not sure what an artifact is? In person you can really hear the difference. Regular chippers are just "bang bang bang" where these have such a smooth "Swish"sound. Just smoother is all I can say. Sorry but yes Cory switched out the axle, easy peasy, only surprise was the tongue jack wouldn't...

    Anyone notice the "swishing" noise of the blades or is it just the crack talking to me.

    OK so for the update, had a job with a bunch of tough to chip shit trees. All these trees were growing out the side of a cliff and were loaded with vines just ready to fall on the business below. Decided it would be a good test for the Big Chipper ( we are still thinking of names, not sure "The...

    Cory I typically stay within a 20 mile radius. Crane is painfully slow.

    Big chipper

    I really enjoy running my crane and working in unison with my climber, with the com helmets it is really a pleasant work experience. Sure would be nice not to have to worry about your climber getting hurt though. To me I see the appeal but I think I have to get past the fact that it seems like...

    Cory it has 1800 hours, found it online up in Canada , they were asking $45k . Back in March I offered them $35k delivered to me .. they said no Waited them out and they called back and went for it. I should mention a guy Matdand from the buzz was awesome and went and looked at it for me and...

    Big chipper

    Next winter I will work on a better system to feed it. Our current system is the crane sets it close to chipper and the wheel loader puts it in. If we are in a tight area so can't use the wheel loader we will put the but of the pick on the feed tray then connect a cable from a small winch to it...
