I was using the tractor in my yard today, its hilly, bermy and tight. I first hand loaded a full bucket of boulders big enough to hurt my back, it was completely full and I bounce it a good bit. It handled it great. Very manuerable, no lawn damage to speak of even after multiple trips of mulch. It appears to be a 1/4 yard bucket because I had 1 yard of mulch and 4 buckets.

I think dude said the Bobby has a 1/2 yard bucket.


Anyway:

I reneged on a dead oak today. Got close to the top and found a large area of decay supporting where I would need to rig it from and have to use as my tip. No thanks. But I will pull that section into a decent enough DZ if the house drop wire is cut from the house, brought back to the pole then re-spliced.

That is how I told the client I wanted to do it from the start! I had worked up another option, as we always do, but it was contingent of the rigging point I needed to do it was sound, its not.

No biggey, I will tell the client to get a price on dropping the wire. I was even thinking of doing it myself.

I do need to get some hunk of iron to help pull some of these jobs down and lift the heavy stuff. It felt "right" on the tractor, you feel like a mad scavenging dog with a Mini.

I loved the steering wheel, going slow, big rubba, straw in my mouth, I tell ya I think its for me!

I still can't wait to see this little Pit Bob. Lil yard wrecking bastard!

Grandpa was sitting on the hoe side when I crossed the ditch from the street into my yard, hoe got stuck on the road, I told him which lever to push and the hoe pushed us out, scraped up the road. ha ha.

Still all I need to do on this " been dead for years and suddenly its an issue " oak tree is drop the wire and pull that entire side out with the truck winch.

I can keep the tractor til either I buy it or its sold to someone else pretty much.

I am changing the oil now, wrong filter!

Around here the power company will drop the service for free (pretty sure its free). I even had the primaries shut off once. That was a little bit of doing.

Its funny how much harder a guy works when we r at his house after a short day doing a freebie removal/oh I have this brush pile n what about this tree n this brush its also kinda embarrassing when the guys wife out works half the damn crew! Plus she didn't complain while everyone else is all its hot that's a big hill r we done yet... Yes that's right I let her work no hard hat low cut tank n short shorts no she never fed the chipper or was near the crane

Its always been obscure to me, what I know is what client's tell me, talking to a power company man is totally different but you don't see them til you get a date which they will do.

I think its very easy to make the actual cut and splice of the wire, labor is mostly pulling it back to the pole, its not far, 100 feet. procedure and proper apparel and tools are also key. I don't have, I don't know. Not hard to figure out, not hard to half ass so I won't even try.

I think they just cut a wire, in some order, I don't know, then cap it with a proper cap, maybe even heat shrink, then do the others in order. Its just a house drop, I touch them all the time if they are in good shape.

I just tell clients to call their provider. Half the numbers to contacts I have had have changed

My biggest fear with all that has always been "what if set it all up to have the service dropped, and the loser help doesn't show up or some ****". That would be pretty embarrassing. One of the reasons I've only had it had it done a couple times. That and you still (usually) have the phone and cable to deal with. Not that that's a big deal, but still. I usually just work around the utilities, seems easier in most cases.

Whatever, dude. You still didn't get us a pic of the broad dragging brush in her short shorts with her tits hanging out. Then you would've achieved coolness. Just saying.

It's really cool when you cut right through the service with a climbing saw . That's awesome makes your toes curl like a real hero !

What does that truck say on the side? Looks like "DJ Jazzy Jeff's Tree services" from here, but its hard to make out for sure on my phone.

That's dj jazzy Jeff to you.
