Today was the day that I picked up the two new saws and the new chipper. The saws are so nice compared to my 20 year old tech. The chipper is more than twice the machine that the DR was. I don't know where to start.... Let's just say that the list of features on the website and the small pics did not, in any way, do it justice. Anyways, it's pouring outside and the chipper is in the dark trailer behind the General. The saws came in for a quick photo op though. Pics and details on the chipper after I take it to the lot and give it some exercise...
I'm sorry to interupt, had to quote to see pics.
Now that I'm here..... Nice saws Rodney
Put the chipper to work today. OMG, she's an absolute animal. Looking it over in the sunlight, I found lots of features that weren't mentioned on the website. Hourmeter/tach, 5 gallon fuel tank, torsion axle, 23HP VTwin Briggs and on and on. I couldn't believe what this one can do. I also did some research and found that this is not a true Echo product. Echo brands it and advertises it but Bearcat is actually a brand produced by Crary Industries out of Wells Fargo, ND. They have a few lines out there and the rest seem to be ag products. Perhaps Tim has heard of them? Crary Industries
Has a VIN number for registration and everything. I won't use it that way but it's set up for it.
I ran it hard for a bit this AM. After lunch, I gave it the full warning decal removal treatment. Now I'm going to install a battery lead to SAE adapter on it so I can pop on the maintainer when not in use.
I'm always jealous of awesome power equipment (even when I have no use for it). That looks like a sweet machine. 4 cutters, twin belts, larger engine...that is one hell of a chipping machine. Have a picture of the destruction?

I was considering that Steve. I'll have to get the bride to shoot me in action. Maybe even a video...
Rodney, some time back, I thought you commented about how you owned cool things. Two fancy saws and a man sized chipper certainly are cool. I have no need for either but I'm jealous.
What month are you thinking of starting your build? Are there basements or crawl spaces in your part of the world?
