@@RosendoCantu-y6s There are two wires coming from the clutch just in front of the motor. It is on the back side of the belt guard. One I Grounded to the engine base. The other I ran through a new 2 pole switch then directly to the positive post on the battery. I did put an inline 20amp fuse between the battery and switch for safety.

@@facelesspsycho8252 they will definitely do some work. Keep sharp teeth on it to minimize wear.

@stihlgotit right on can you get the teeth sharpened? What's a new set cost?

@@facelesspsycho8252 yes they can be resharpened. I think Jeff's Sharpening can sharpen or retip them if they are too bad for like around $3 per or $8 to retip. New if you wait til there is a sale Vermeer does 10% off a couple times a year. A bucket of 60 which is 3 full sets last I bought was around $600. One set is I believe around $250. Each tooth can be rotated once also for a new edge.

I would guess that there is rust in the pins from the elements. I would soak the moving parts with some WD40, Pb Blast, or similar oil. If that doesn't work maybe a small amount of heat on the pivot points. Hope this helps.

@@stihlgotit I will try that ..thanks I de pressure ized.the connects they go on fine ..it's 2015 750 used from rental place I bought it has all kinda wired up rigged wires it's mess but runs good has mostly new lines it dies have a small leak directly under the tilt and boom control green knob..control box looking at it from opening back small hood..I can see lines move when I press the grapple control..some kinda weird grease on the new grapple cylinder. I think they put it on to keep water off while outside on metal racks shelves. It's a Toro dingo 42 proworks grapple .

@@stihlgotit ibtryed to add greese with manual greese gun but it wouldn't take it so that greese may be hardened up..I didn't think of that i assumed it wasn't sitting on shelf that long they had one young kid running store he was buisy on Saturday morning so they didn't have any skid steer to try it out .all he had was forklift..

@@stihlgotit also I just noticed your screen name ..nice..😂

They are handy. I had rented both the 45' and the 55' prior to owning one. I only used them when I absolutely had to for safety. Now that I own one I use it all the time and climb when I have to. The extra reach is definitely worth it.

Bigfoot outrigger pads.

Agreed, I always instruct anyone using it to stayback as it can pull you in quicker than you can react and let go.

@@stihlgotit Damn skippy.

Sounds to me like something is locked up and not spinning freely. Could be a jackshaft or bearing. That's where I would start.

@@stihlgotit thanks man. It is a great machine. I can't knock vermeer for their design. My boss has the luxury of a few machines. It's nice to take your time fixing the down one. It almost seems like the brake is engaging with the clutch but I will check what you said first just because that's a good start.

@@captainchristianguy3307 If it is the clutch circuit the auto sweep is suspect. Doing this bypasses the auto sweep and operator sensor. Could come down to a faulty relay for auto sweep/clutch engagement.

Good question. Maybe I should hire a pro video grapher....except I don't get paid for my content. Thanks for watching.

I've climbed many as well. Started in 07 and have only had a lift for a couple of years. Climbing everything was definitely starting to take a toll on my joints. Glad to only climb when necessary or easier than using the lift now.

@@stihlgotit Yea, 34 yrs of climbing, now people call for those trees that can only be climbed, ya get known for being " the only fool around" who will do it.

@@treeguyable yeah that is exactly how I got my start. Everyone else would turn it down because they didn't have a climber.

Thanks works well!

@@stihlgotit You’re welcome! Keep posting.

I was pretty sure the rope would give. It was locked off on the portawrap. I just wanted it to slow the butt until the tip was down. Due to the wood I had stacked for the trunk to fall on I couldn't reach to cut smaller pieces without climbing a completely horizontal branch with no good tie in.

​@@stihlgotitexactly. Where are you located.

@@brettblack7049 I'm in central KS.

I don't know. I haven't replaced it. I just take it to a shop and have it rebuilt.

Improper planting caused the roots to wrap around the trunk essentially strangling the tree. First decline then death without correction.

@@stihlgotit that's super interesting, how would you fix that?

@@boredmarshmallo4223 we had to carefully remove the offending roots. The beginning of the video is before and the end is after. You can see there was one pressing deep into the trunk.

@@stihlgotit Wow cool! Thanks man! Interesting video I've never seen that :)

As far as I can tell there is something faulty in the auto sweep that fouls up the rest of it. All they do is throw parts at it like handles. Frustrating to say the least.

How good is the torque on it? Have any videos of you using it real time? Maybe an overview of your swap.

It is battery powered. There are 4 batteries that allow it to work for a full day before needing charged.

Can you have it plugged in while you work with it?

@@mmtreeservice2338 you could, but you would have to make sure the cord didn't get wrapped up in the rotator. They have an option to have an on board generator. The charge will generally run a full 8-9hr before needing recharged.

​@@stihlgotitmy buddy has one that I may be borrowing, all 4 batteries are dead right now, I get to buy him new ones in exchange for using it. I told him he should just get a small generator like the Honda eu2000 and wire the batteries directly to the charging port of the generator, that way it would always be ready to go and he wouldn't have to plug it in(hard for him to dowhere he lives). Thanks for the video. Be safe.

@@brettblack7049 yeah they have a generator option. I don't have it on mine, but wish I did.

Not what you should get for the amount they cost.

Yeah if you keep it pushed up it stays seated and can't rotate.

Thanks

Glad to help

Big and stinky.

and brittle @@stihlgotit

Yes different cutter wheel designed to clear chips better. Also 2 more horse in the engine.

😂😂😂 I rented one of these, and I was the same way at first...lol. after 30 minutes, you get used to it, plus by me putting on a harness helped a lot...

I have been renting these for over 30 yrs. All sorts of tree work. Even lowered small branches on them. Very sturdy, stable. Always make sure the outriggers are on solid, immoveable ground. They are designed to work well , within the range they have. Common sense prevails.

​​@@treeguyableunfortunately for some, fear will override common sense. Be safe guys.
