Re: Hurricane Fiona tree clean up started.

I have a few Boxelders like that to do. But started small with the lilacs and honeysuckles that busted off in the wet sticky snows, most of it went threw the chipper and got spread on the flower beds.

Re: the way we roll

I’ve had it on my mind to build a roller like that for awhile now. Haven’t come across a tank to make one out of yet, not that it matters, I don’t think I have time to add another project into the mix at this point! Are there any Pipe line contractors in your area? I worked pipeline for a few years...

Re: 1961 Ford F500 project.

I picked up one of those hand pumps at O'Reilly Auto Parts years ago for 5-6 bucks. Works great, and comes with a second hose for the bottom of the pump you can trim to length for the bottle you are using.

Re: Hydraulic pto question.
