Unless you're feeding it with an excavator and chipping everything from lite trimmings to stumps to pallets to toliet seats. Would not be friendly on the blades eh?

Dang sure is neat! While it isn't mine, these handle all my wood. Grinding it into biomass fuel. 10' tub, 1khp, 73klbs, 52gph fuel consumtion. It eats as fast as the 20t excavators can feed it. One feeds, one forwards material and shears the bigger bits, a dozer deals with the chips and helps keep the debris pushed in reach of the loading excavator. Best of all, I get to dump for free! The smaller horizonal feeder, 630hp, 32"x60" throat.

Ed, what's the specs on that truck (hp) and the demsional area of the chippers throat? What would something like that cost over there? Looks nothing shy of amazing.

I know this is an older thread, but the part where one wheel spins and the other doesn't leads me to think that the 50/50 divider is faulty. Without the divider (such as using a T for example) when one wheel has a load and ther other doesn't, the freewheeling wheel runs away while the loaded wheel doesn't do anything (think open differential with a tyre lifted). The 50/50 divider acts like a differential lock, forcing them to spin together. My 200+ will stall on occasion, but that's typically from someone leaving a stub and it catching on the backside of the feedwheels and getting pinched against the floor.

I bought my father a Stihl 28" (I think) 4 stroke jobber, costing around $480 I believe. It's the mutt's nuts, been a great piece of kit.

My first, a 22klb (10 metric ton) pick using a 110ton Leibherr at a 55' (17 meter) radius

On our grinders, when a bolt on a tooth get's buggered, we use a torch to melt the head of the bolt off, takes all of 3-5 minutes, the tooth is shot afterwards. Welding a nut/bolt/tool on the head also works.

Heck, I've even ran a 935, not a Euro version but still. Mine had a 50hp Perkins, good chipper for it's size.

ART RG's are the mutt's nuts. I have 2, use them nearly every time I climb.

We started grinding stumps back in '98 (I was 12), in 2003 (late 16, early 17 years old) I decided I wanted to start doing tree work to make more money. My father was dead set against it, but alas I had 4 jobs to do. Now I'm back in school with the intent of becoming a lawyer..... kids these days! For the record, I'm still doing tree work, it pays the bills!

I've went rec climbing some at the ITCC's, other than that it's only been to take chicks climbing.

I had one, never used it, it's lost now. I bought the one from Sherrill, in 05 I believe.

Nah Anna, it landed on the carport, $2300 in damage. Let me see if I can find the pics. http://gypoclimber.com/treehouse/viewtopic.php?t=1104&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=90 Last post, but the pics are missing.

So many options, the first I came up with was cutting through the hinge, sending a 50' top on the neighbors house.

I'm liking my Asolo's Fugitive GTX'es, paid around 125 quid out the door, including the after market insoles.. When these wear our, I'll probably go to a higher line of Asolo.
