  10. Nice reduction steve...when i was doing mostly free lance a lot of companies made me leave my truck in there yards becouse it was sighn written..some stopped giving me work altogether when i first got it done...so its a hard catch to be in but i think people seeing a sighn written truck when your working definietly gets you more work especially locally.
  11. Iif its slower it definietely comes out like dust!
  12. if the anvill settings from the blade are larger will it increase productivity bigger chips and less strain on the engine? the anvill set up on my graveley 625 is nearly touching the blade and resulting in micro chips! surely its putting more strain on the engine?
