Momma told me to not show!

quercus · 17th January 2008, 10:07 AM

Well,I had a few small jobs (chipper service, takedown of small pine after storm) and I got sorta bored afterwards so I began maintaining machinery a bit. I took some pictures so ya'll know what I'm using and have a good laugh at my little van and my new chipper. Compared to usa vans and trucks, mine is small and so is my chipper.

quercus · 17th January 2008, 10:13 AM

forgot some pictures of the machinery...

penfold · 17th January 2008, 10:17 AM

quercus , I take it you like stihl power tools then

Theres a company near me who did something similar for their advert in yellow pages

penfold

quercus · 17th January 2008, 10:26 AM

these are not for advertisings... They wouldn't be good for that.

bigshea13 · 17th January 2008, 10:32 AM

thats nothing to laugh at. thats some good lookin gear. looks well maintained, mobil, and a good variety other than the brand name. does that chipper rotate? nice pics.

penfold · 17th January 2008, 10:40 AM

big shea , im not laughing at quercus, i use all stihl gear for my business because it lasts longer than husqvarna in my opinion. The point i was making when i said about the company near me was that they had a group photo taken with all their power tools laid out in front of them and had the vehicles and chippers behind them. By the way i use a willans t22 harness.

I'm cleaning my gear twice a week whenever I get the chance so it is always in top condition . Safety and professionalism begins with well maintained gear machinery and tools. Safety gear maintanance and care is imperative. If you disrespect it, it will fail you when you need it the most... When I train guys, I show them how their van or truck must look like, instead of throwing it on a heap somewhere in the garage or truck. Investing in proper racks and boxes is the same as investing in life...
Most of the time people think my gear is new... It's only well cared for and looked after, and I'm really not hesitating to kick someone in the nuts for throwing my gear around.
Imagine what a HO must think when you first have to service your saw for an hour before it will start? I am still waiting on the first time that a machine from stihl doesn't start orrun properly on a jobsite...but everything fails when you don't service it...

and yeah, it rotates 360 degrees...Vandaele is the best brand for chippers around here...

doesn't matter, they'll remember it for years to come...

Throw gear= kick in nuts...
Throw machinery= kick in nuts (again)...
Throw winch from GRCS = slap on the head and kick in the nuts...

Quintrex · 17th January 2008, 05:49 PM

Wow! Kick in the nuts for throwig gear, and death for not accepting your quotes.
You don't f%@k around, do ya!

quercus, that a great looking setup, a place for everything and everything in it's place. That chipper looks like a great machine for those hard to get to jobs. I do have two questions though, first, where do you put the chips? and secondly (pardon my ignorance) which side of the road do you guys drive on?

Opps, one more, what is the capacity of the chipper.......?

Thanks
