When I go through mine this winter in prep for a spring sale I may have a few questions for you then.
Fooooorrk I can't even argue well anymore. I knew it I'm becoming to nice of a guy.:evil:
Mine's a smaller self-feeder 250xp and it will handle crotchs wayyyyyy better than my ole CnD. Just a different animal my CnD is a Wayne with 12" blades and just over 100hp on gas. The 250 is 140hp diesel and that thing will suck in some pretty decent crotchs.
Lol, Eric you must've figured...
I would agree that a CnD is safer for injuries or fatalities but I still found more bloodletting with mine than my new self-feeder. A little bleeding and bruising is par for the course in treework. I barely notice it, seems like a cakewalk most days compared to the bush. Some of the whips...
Mine's for sale cheap if you're tooling up. Might not be worth the trip for ya though.:D Ya I remember it's quite a complex technique to feeding the CnD, I had a real hard time with it.:P
Sooner or later you're gonna donate some blood. Heck maybe I'm not that good at it fine by me I'll not be going back to a CnD anytime soon. CnD is what ya use if you're doing only pruning or just raising funds for a self-feeder imo. And in order to truly utilize a self-feeder you need a mini...
From what I've seen self-feeders take larger wood. So longer with more crotches and whatnot that's where the danger lies I think. CnD's suck imo. Yah, light, cheap, simple all that but running one means losing blood.
Damn, that guy got off lucky. Fractured ankle could've been a whole lot worse.
Like most on here I'm working with a chipper which definetly could suck a guy right through. You're dealing with death down that chute, I'm always careful but a reminder like this is a good heads up.
