Weirdest transport you have taken to do tree work

[Mass tree guy]

We take a boat to Martha's Vineyard @ 6am..

This day it was a little to cold/windy to do any type of climbing...So we removed 1 quick one in the bucket and went home.

You know its cold when the boat gets covered in ice. It also runs 365...Long days On MV this entire last winter...Leave house @ 5 >boat by 6 sometimes take an 11:30 boat back...
When things were good we it was 6am >5:30 6 days a week..talk about good hours...

I have to take an 18' dinghy every day to get to work...

Before I had a van, we'd ride our scooter to the job, trash bucket on front, two saws in it, saddlebags with helmets and rope, hop on the back and off we go!

Taken boats to the job too, working out on smaller islands

was it really that cold this morning? i'm not far away and there was no frost on the grass when i woke up.....

weirdest thing i've driven to work was my old 1979 arctic cat snowmobile. did it for 4 weeks straight in '98, mainly cause it was more fun than driving....

I had a 3 wheeled Cushman( meter maid vehicle) I used to drive to jobs close by. Mine didn't have a cab, it was open and it had a flatbed so it was handy.

Try a WW2 tank landing craft, on Lake Arrowhead, back in 07.

Run it right up on the beach, lower the drawbridge, and out comes a tracked bobcat to load brush in the bottom of the boat, and logs for the sawmill across the gunwales.

Two big Allison diesels. Lotsa horsepower and load capacity!

How they got that huge steel landing craft up that road to Big Bear I can't figure. They must've snuck it in the back way through the high desert.

Hard to beat a tank ...

When I first broke away from a large company in early 70's I worked out of an MGB convertable and always had the ho work the ground. Pulled trees over with it and lashed a polesaw to each bumper. Left all the **** on site and got a lot of work out of the novelty of it and flirting with the wives.

Whatever happened to that guy from Detroit that used to bicycle to jobs pulling a small trailer? He used to post quite a bit extolling the benefits of pedaldom.

I had to remove a large pine on a cliff up in the San Bernardino mountains(Lydle creek) so we could recover an air craft and they helicoptered me up there. Do a few of those helicopter job each year.
