Mmmm tasty spuds, reminds me of the Butter Steamed spuds concoction (insert mouth drooling emote here) I've come up with and perfected while living away from home.

Hey you guys working on the honour system? That is kewl

, around here those spuds would probably be lobbed straight back at the house and stolen...

Drouin Tree Service · 15th July 2008, 10:43 PM

They would track you down out there John!!

Eric Frei · 16th July 2008, 03:06 PM

Yeah, but back when I was a kid we'd stick a pennybanger in there, light it up then toss it.

Wella, mashed potatoes on ya roof!

TrevMcRev · 27th September 2008, 01:49 AM

Is the bandit a new (2nd hand

) chipper?

You got the 4x4 truck going yet?

Love your work on the road sign

Drouin Tree Service · 27th September 2008, 01:03 PM

Yes,No,Yes

kieren · 28th September 2008, 08:07 PM

you must have worked like a barstard to get that trunk in small enough pieces to fit through that chipper! What size is it ? nice work though

Drouin Tree Service · 28th September 2008, 09:18 PM

We ripped the trunk wood and left it on-site,all gone now..

Drouin Tree Service · 8th October 2008, 10:31 PM

Bit windy today!

Eric Frei · 8th October 2008, 10:57 PM

Especially when you have to drop stuff near service wires!

The euc on the left had poor form, disaster waiting to happen.

Drouin Tree Service · 8th October 2008, 11:02 PM

Not much "cut n throw"today,in hindsight i would have had the powerline dropped and phone and done it easier,but of well its done now..

Drouin Tree Service · 27th October 2008, 07:10 PM

Big stump removal!!!needed 15 m3 to backfill,and the 20 tonner couldnt move it around!!!need a 30ton to pick it up..

Climber pruning.

crane t/d same spot.

Drouin Tree Service · 8th December 2008, 08:45 PM

Drouin Tree Service · 8th December 2008, 08:59 PM

BC 1800 behind it i reckon

Steve Tipton · 8th December 2008, 09:02 PM

Good one Jason.

Steve.

Eric Frei · 8th December 2008, 09:03 PM

Lopa, having a bunch of trucks chipping for me over the years I reckon the one thing that most overlook is a decent fast back door so you can tip chip out.

I have sketched my idea.

Basically the rear door is top (two way) hinged. You could simply tip the chip straight out and the door opens or swing it to the side too put gear/logs in etc.

The door could have a piece cut out to suit the chipper chute. Many trucks have a simple couple of hydro fingers that keep it shut, you could also have the swing open option of a two way tailgate.

Just imagine, no getting out of the truck to empty it (of course the chipper is off)

Just a thought.

Drouin Tree Service · 8th December 2008, 09:08 PM

Not a bad idea Ekka but the tailgates on there now!!! Havnt got a pic but its fairly high and 2 way locking.

Garry Brockley · 8th December 2008, 09:18 PM

Eric do you mean like this only bigger

that is the rear set up on my transit tipper its just not quite deep enough but that system works really well

TrevMcRev · 8th December 2008, 09:49 PM

Coming along nicely mate. More pics as she comes along please
