Lets get this party started...

[Lumberjack]

But we got done, and I made a little money profit, so it was a good day, all in all. Got the stumps ground and everything. TCOB

Not much use for them around here; even the 36" is overkill alot of times.

That looks like a nice log truck to me. I wish I had one.

Oh it is, but he could put 500-1500 dollars in it, and have a much more presentable truck. Fix the exhaust that is hangin down, and a paintjob of sorts.

Plus I would rather have a knuckle boom, or at least a cable loader. But that is more money. He has loaded some large pine logs for me, but he can not get full length large oak logs to easily. Possiblely from lack of finess on the opperators part. Some jobs I have to call him, and he has to call another guy (knuckle boom) to load the logs on his truck.

That truck really doesnt like oak logs over 3'6" but it will not load a 5' oak log.

Pretty simple design, it TCOBs for the most part, but if it was mine i would fix it up more and add a PTO winch for sure.

 

[John Ellison]

Carl, in the picture of the log truck, is that a side loader on it?

John

 

[Lumberjack]

Yes it is. It works good, but it would be much more effeceint with winch. Truly simple to work on and with, but I would change a few things up.

Any special circumstances? What is "all stick refering" to? Looks real nice with all the snow, which we rarely get down here.

 

[TREETX]

Just used to wide oaks and elms in Texas. No firs or pines in Austin. Really nothing with a "stick".

Just a ref to trees built like poles.

 

[Lumberjack]

Ah...

I am the opposite for the most part. Most of my removals are sticks, or central stemmed trees. Got some good sized live oaks in the works tho.

 

[Husky288XP]

Carl if you want to be an arborist then you better study, because you do not climb "sticks". You would climb excurrent trees or trees with strong apical dominance, resulting in upright trees with strong central leaders.

Will get you ready for the test one way or another.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yea, well most people call em sticks.

Big deal.

 

[NeTree]

It's a stick, unless it's a hangup. Then it's a STUCK...
