@murphy4trees I think all tree guys have a wish list longer than their arm. I just priced out a little hydraulic winch at $1200. I need to figure out if it will work with the hydraulic system as it is currently set up. Thanks for watching.
@MatthewBanchero I usw a bandit 1590 with a winch.. when I first got that winch I swore I would never own another chipper without a winch.. then I got a skid loader, and the winch almost never gets used. Still nice to have the few times its needed. $1200 might seem like a lot, but its not how much it costs. its how much it will make you. Far too many tree guys are not charging enough. This is hard dangerous work. we should be paid well and have enough to buy good equipment making the job easier
Just to clarify, I could go just go out a buy a winch, that's no problem. The question is where to mount it that would be sturdy enough to take 9,000lbs of pull and can I generate both the flow and pressure needed from my existing hydraulic system to make it work? When the busy season slows down I may take some time to work on it. Great suggestion.
@MatthewBanchero my winch is around 1500 lbs. does most anything needed. I would recommend going with a factory kit if you can.. really I would have gone with bandit rather than vermeer.. the bandit 15" machine makes the vermeer 15" machine look like a toy.. I can chip up to 20" stuff with the 1590, by cutting to 16" length and feeding it through upright. Pretty sure bandit can custom make a track machine. either way, its a great tool for your needs. Smart way to go!
I've been meaning to change that part of the video. These days I work with a small crew. When I was first starting out, I worked by myself. What I wanted to emphasize is that for specific jobs, like in back yards or creating nature trails, one guy can do the job of 6 or 8.
I Hired Matt to trim more than 200 trees off building roofs. Not only was the price competitive but he actually climbed and surgically cared for our trees, something you do not see any more. Trees are living and breathing and I am pleased by the major job completed quickly and efficiently thay I highly recommend His care. I also referred him to a friend and the level of care she experienced on this smaller job was award winning. Highly recommended. Tob Shelf. Tree Expert.
Fantastic tree service! Matt has helped us recondition quite a bit of forestry on our farmland, we could not have reconditioned the forest areas without his expertise and love and compassion for his work. Thank you Matt!
Nice gig Matt.. would be nice to have a winch on that machine.. great video

Looks kinda funny when you walk the chipper like a huge dog :D
Though i am alittle worried with you beeing alone, if something happens, theres noone else there to push the feed reverse bar and pull you out.
Anyways lovely results after the cleanup!! :D
