This is the result when a company has the perfect equipment for this messy job. A huge chipper and a multifunctional excavator plus a skidsteer with multi equipment. Last but not least you and your crew at the controls. It was a great pleasure to see expert’s on this job. Thumbs 👍👍👍🇩🇪😎

You have a steady hand on the controls. All the boom moves are smooth and precise. Love to watch it.

I think track manufacturer has a lot to do with it as well. I would throw Camso tracks on my skid steer once or twice a week. Nothing wrong with the terrain, they were just very stretchy/soft tracks. After putting Bridgestones on the machine, I never threw a track again. My experience with four sets of Camso's across three different machines is that they are complete junk. Get Bridgestones if you can.

I live in the Central Valley by Fresno. I farm almonds and we have a need to chip are brush piles of limps and trees that have fallen over. I have a skid steer and I’m in the process of buying a FAE mulcher. Just checking to see what I should charge other people by the hour.

@slamsshenanigans2296 2 жыл бұрын

I dunno Sam, lots of that looked pretty solid... especially the stuff you cut down. If its beetle kill its blue stained and us millers cut it up n sell it for good money. Find some guys up by you that own Woodmizers and you could probably put less time in your job and utilize the wood.

@VBELTandSON 2 жыл бұрын

We have a saw mill our selves not worth it. We have to handle so much volume of this stuff it’s easier on everyone to just grind it gone. Cost to ship the stuff we will lose money. Cost 10 bucks to make a dollar to try to save lumber out of it

@mikebeachy6551 2 жыл бұрын

Wow must be some crazy regulations on loggers there in California. Anywhere else its standard procedure to use tops for a creek crossing as long as you pull them out once you're done. And what's the use of chipping it will rot down over time regardless if its chips or logs it's still just wood.

@geraldkoth654 2 жыл бұрын

The trees are dead because of pine beetles. You have to strip the bark and burn them or otherwise destroy the tree. So chipping keeps the beetles from spreading further. Second the owner did not want to look at piles of downed trees. Third the downed trees can pose a threat when there are wildfires.

I like how everyone thinks there is value in the stuff. Completely way to much volume of dead pine trees across the whole state. So much we can’t do anything about it. I appreciate this land owner for taking care of an issue. Most will Leave this huge fire danger lay until it burns up and takes out the Neigborhood.
