check the ppl down ecclesville
they clear out plenty land down there

Fellas , I'm looking for a large (heavy duty ) wood chipper . Big enough to shred / chip full sized trees .

It could be engine driven , hydraulic to work off a backhoe or PTO type.

FT Farfan had Gravely chippers at one time. They had a draw-behind trailered chipper. It looked like a 10 or 12 inch throat with a 4-cylinder engine.

No idea on the price.

My days of using big chippers ended when I bought property with a deep ravine on it.

Now I just cut and roll everything in.

I now locate one in south so I'm going to see it .

In my experience, the biggest joy ever was pulling the chipping knives and sharpening them. You would have likely paid a little more for a good one in the States.

If your tree has thorny bark, it's probably a sandbox.

[rspann]

You know the thing self. That's the only one I got identified. Another one has a hard brown fruit that falls on the ground . I'll post some pics Tom and see if I can get some of them identified .

You might be able to get slat-board and slat hooks if you cant find the pegboard.

[supercharged turbo]

I getting the slat board but the space would be better utilised with pegboard.

Another possibility is to lay out a 1 inch grid on a sheet of hardboard and drill holes as required.

I believe that there are two hole sizes for pegboard. The small holes use 1/8" hardboard and the larger uses 3/16".

It's tedious but I've done it before. I didn't want so many unused holes.

[pugboy]

I supposed to have a metal pegboard I bought a while back, bought 4 pieces but only used 3

it not very big, like 3x4 I think if you interested in it.

[hindian]

Fellas where can I get one of these? Preferably east side. Tried paint masters arouca and Bhagwansinghs and no luck.

[adnj]

You could try an auto parts store that sells paint or Bondo. You can look at a yachting store too. I believe that I saw one at Peake's.

Its difficult to finish fiberglass or bodyfiller without a sanding block. I find it difficult to believe that they aren't easier to find.
