Small world though, how she and I both know someone, or many, at Nevada Conservation Corps/ Great Basin Institute, and she works for you. NCC is where I got my initial, formal chainsaw/ felling/ cutting training. That's after the training of "keep it away from your leg, and try not to get it...

Chip quality? How the autofeed? Didn't see it operate.

Nick, who is the woman in the green shirt with the Nevada Conservation Corps shirt? I wonder if I know her, from way back, by chance. Its been 9 years since I worked there, about 2003-2006.

Congrats, Nick!

Why does everything seem to be from the east coast and eastern midwest? Is there a good source for equipment that is located on the west coast? ITE in Woodinville, WA, I've heard, is reputable, but can't remember from where. Roger B might know more about this company, also just out of Seattle...

Your knives may seem to last longer when chipping with a square anvil.

I don't see how that can be economical. Aren't knives over $200/ set. I haven't used up my two sets, yet.

My pro sharpener is $1/ inch of blade, $64/ set. They just come back sharp and true. I seem to get knicks that always get sharpened all the way out, significantly deeper than what I can freshen-up with that hand sharpener. Merle, I've never noticed a concave shape, but I know what you mean. Is...

yep, I see what you mean.

Nick, are you touching up the knives between knife changes? http://www.baileysonline.com/shop.axd/Search?keywords=sharpener Third item "chipper knife sharpener".

You should get four edges to work from. I have a hex-shaped rod for an anvil, 6 turns. Bolts for bandit knives are recommended to be used only a certain number of times, and always torqued to spec. Something about cycles to failure under extreme conditions. Bolts and nuts actually stretch...

Phellinus sulfurescens, previously Phellinus weirii, previously to that, the soil-borne fungus was known as Poria weirii. Old loggers sometimes call LRR simply "poria" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poria_weirii I know a bit about it. Dealt with it a lot.

I quit SPs on my 40th birthday, about 2.5 years ago, as a present to myself. Way too dangerous. Poorly run in a lot of ways. I liked working with my boss a lot, though. half and half, roughly. Maybe more pruning. A lot of the removals are hazards compared to ones people don't want. I got sick...

Never heard that. I bet it chips better with the right shape to push against. I've never changed my blades without changing my hexagonal anvil. I know how much better it chips with fresh knives and something to push it against. Adjusting the clearance is critical if you are putting longer...

Can you send your chip truck filled with some brush? Dump, chip into truck, good to go? If its not good to go, they're going to have a pile of brush in the parking lot until its fixed!

I agree.

So wait, how old is this chipper? How many problems have you had? And you're paying for it? Did you press Morbark to pay for the rental?

I think we could use a Diesel Engine thread, for us rookie diesel engine owners to learn.
