Yeah, the ones I linked are the only ones I’ve tried. Some of the thicker ones would be good for heavier work I’m sure, but I have no problem with these holding up. The rubber coating on the palm/fingers wears off eventually, but even then they still work good.
We were gonna go but didn't wanna be gone 4 weekends in a row
Started working trees around 4pm and stopped at 7:30. Big highlight was getting the chipper going again for the first time since about April 2022 when the clutch went out.Wife started flagging trees this week to thin out some areas. She had no idea what she was getting me intoI flagged a few more, and took a pic of every tree...

Little guy was really upset about this one because it was his "favorite climbing tree" (even though I don't recall ever seeing him climb it).

16 trees done, plus a few more 3-5" ones not on the list. Now she owes me $1440 (or trade of equal value

Agree, but one half was dead, and the other half was dying.

I saw them there a few times with scouts. Always fun.
That was "Big Al's" Hurst who passed away several years ago. His son in law Eddie Peverill has it now and was at a car show with it yesterday.
I’d charge double unless they let me scrap that grill.
I'll charge double anyway
Another 14 trees today. Main thing was these twin 19" poplars. Drop zone was pretty tight because of some surrounding oaks, a big dogwood, and a bigleaf magnolia. But got em both down without damaging anything.

Chipper is 18" capacity, but if you hold the end of the log up, the crusher wheels will let a 19" log in

Thats actually the first time ive ever had it jam up by simply being overwhelmed with chips. Usually its something wet and stringy or leafy. But this was just such a mass of chips that it couldn't flow em fast enough. 15 minutes of shaking and beating and we were off again.

Made a separate pile just for the poplars so that it was just chips, no stringy twigs or leaves. This is just 2 trees

This all started because the wife wanted some chips for her garden. Guess I went a little overboard...

But don't worry there's plenty of alternative uses for a big ol chip pile

Back in the early 70s my dad had one of those. Always wished he would have kept it.
Those chips dont look deep enough to suppress the weeds. In my experience, it needs atleast 8", and that wont keep bermuda at bay.This all started because the wife wanted some chips for her garden. Guess I went a little overboard...
