whadja do today?

I guess I didnt explain to well. The skid steer is a walk behind and it goes to to supply as much tension as required then the operator turns it off. 750kg makes a good safe anchor with no people to get hit or hurt if it goes pear shaped. I have used fixed anchors like other trees, live anchors like groundcrew and the skid steer. I prefer the latter but there is more than 1 way to skin that cat!

Yup what about those air bag thingy's yaáll were talking about on the palm thread

The high point of my day was going through the DOT inspection. Dropped off a pump this morning after leaving the house. On the way to the shop there were some cops sitting in a spot they frequent. Well one of them decided to bring me over to the DOT inspection station which had been set up in the middle of nowhere. Got what I'm sure will be a hefty fine for not having my DOT approved gas can secured in the bed of the truck. Also got a fine for 2 of the back tires. Had to call in road service. There was an amigo guy driving a box truck that they brought in behind me... no license, and lots of violations. They let his ass go with a bunch of tickets for his boss. Another guy, white guy... driving a small roll-off truck was also ticketed, and he had to call in road service as well. They told him the same thing they told me I guess... "get it fixed here or towed, drive off and we'll fine you some more."

Learning to re-size

Couple of months ago, this euc was going down as we watched.

 

[jefflovstrom]

OK, I think I got it. The next pics are of the tree going and the follow up the next day-the next day because we stripped enough off to get it to land in another euc for the nite.
