I have a SS I bought new a couple years ago. It's an awesome piece of machinery. Very simple and effective.
-
It's crazy up here. Been in a wheel loader the last three days. Little bites, and lots of time. It's everywhere!

I like working in snow like that. We just got over two feet here, no tree work for a while.

Vermeer BC 1000 XL Producing Biomass for wood chip boiler
BrendonV replied to a topic in General chat
A friend has a BC1000 he bought new. He likes chipping bigger stuff like the machine says it can do. All his drum bearing mounts are cracked, along with various other cracks. I will say those little vermeers have excellent wood chip throwing abilities. Something about that setup they have dialed. -
Another easy one from this morning. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hO7G2QytLx0&feature=share&list=UUdM0Wgg_aXgasvlJiT5uZ1Q]Vorio Tree Experts LLC (2) - YouTube[/ame]

Thanks guys. 60' WH Ben, it's an Aerial lift of CT rear mount. I've got two more pines to do tomorrow, I'll post up the vid again.

Thought you guys might like this. Just getting used to using the Gopro, bought it more for time lapse. Have some bugs to figure out. [ame] [/ame]

That's really nice. Wow.
-
Nice pics, some nice ideas there. I typically park my grapple trailer next to this tarp loaded with wood. Spin them off the trailer, cut them, then process when enough adds up. I only sell a few cords, and space is a premium back there. Still want to get a log deck sorted, but that's on the back burner. I use a Super Splitter, and I traded some climbing work for that conveyor.
-
That's a nice looking little chipper, for sure. Whose undercarriage is underneath?
-
I just got one. That tape is super strong. Just clean your helmet very good, and put it on warm.
-
I know a guy whose wood sits on the pile for a year or more, goes to the splitter, then into the truck for delivery. Last time I spent a day with him he sold 7 loads, so it seems to be working for him. I've split right off the pile and burned and it was perfectly fine. I do find the Oaks do no dry out that much in the log but no real problems. By the time it's burned I bet it's dried out even more.
-
No, I bought pallet forks and a rake one time. A friend bought Robs mini loader, and I went back and bought the dump trailer and stumper. So three times actually. His loader is still out there, they blew the motor, it's pretty beat.
-
Thanks Ben. I've gotten damned good at piling brush from the air too, nicely stacked, all the butts even, it's an art like you say After meeting up with Rob down there on two occasions, I could imagine you'd run out of room on some of those big Oaks. Do what ya gotta do I guess. Always enjoy your pics.
-
Ben, With a forestry style bucket truck, how do you handle the brush on most jobs? Will you dismantle the tree with the bucket, than back up to the pile afterwards to chip the brush? Having the bucket in the right spot, and the chipper facing the right spot probably doesn't happen often. Just wondering how you handle this, as I know your areas are hard to work in anyways. Nice pics btw, tight spot.

Appologize, I must have overlooked it on the Stein site I was on.

I've been patiently awaiting the Stein RC2001 here in the states. From what I read it was supposed to arrive Sept, then late December, now within a few weeks supposedly. Until then I wait as it's exactly what I'm looking for. I was wondering how wide the webbing on the strap is? Anyone have in use pictures? Reviews?
-
Thanks for this idea. I hope now I'll actually use the device, instead of it sitting in the box. Do you have a picture of yours mounted with the strap? Just curious. I can't see why there will be any difference between a ratchet strap and the factory strap, they both hold the same WLL ratings. This might save me from buying the Stein Rc2001
-
Yes, Just not as easy to get. Mail order. The product I use is sold at a store I pass weekly.
-
Thank you, some nice bodies. I have a basic design laid out for the frame. I'm stuck on the tailgate. My gate will be 60% of the height of the body. It's pretty big, so I'm not sure if I want a double acting gate that pivots at the top, yet still swings out, or keep it simple and have it swing out, yet easily lifted off the pins. It should only weight about 50 lbs. I don't want barn doors because any truck I've ever used, they never seem to close nicely. Here's my truck with a painted wooden body(works for now, but looks funky and hard to lift off with the loader without damaging it), and a couple pics from a manufacture in my area that are built nicely.
-
Very nice, thanks guys. Can you tell me more about those hinges on both set's of doors, mattplace? A manufacturer?
-
I've been running two stroke at 1 oz/gallon in all my trucks for a few years now. I've noticed a quietter running engine, and the added piece of mind that my injectors are being lubricated. Not any old two stroke though, it has to be ashless. A local chain store sells a specific brand that was tested in the study. I think I pay about $11 per gallon. Here is a study, I'm guessing you will have different brands where you are. I'm using #7, best bang for the buck for me.

I was wondering if you guys can post up pics of your aluminum chipper bodies. Side angles, rear angles, anything! I am going to be building another one this winter for one of my trucks I just put an aluminum flatbed on. I was just looking to see if there was any neat ideas I've missed, or would any ideas I would like to incorporate. I'm really stuck on how I want to rear doors, so that's one of the things. Thanks!

There was no pot of gold at the end of my rainbow.

It's got quiete a bit of articulation. The way it sits the upper boom can touch the ground over the front of the truck. Over center, left right, up down. It wrecks trees real quick.
