whadja do today?

That was my old one (the one tom welded for me). New one broke at the same spot. Didn't hit anything. If you actually used yours once in a while, maybe you'd have the same problem.

Lol. "Don't be jealouse".

That piece doesn't take any weight. It's just a guard. Could your engine bolts that hold the engine to the winch be loose causing it to put more strain on that weld?

 

[tree MDS]

That piece is actually under tension (like a spring). The first bolt hole (perferation, effectively) seems like it takes all the fatigue. Dumbass..

 

[2treeornot2tree]

How would that piece be under tension?

 

[treeclimber101]

Maybe it twists with torque since Paul has to haul up those meaty hands he's got swinging on his sides

 

[2treeornot2tree]

Maybe you should have got the fat ass model like me too!

Go ahead and unbolt it if you don't believe me. Fat ass bucket queen..

 

[2treeornot2tree]

Ok. Lard hands

 

[treeclimber101]

I dare ya too ......

Was dumping the chip box using the lower controls on the bucket. Looked up and found a BIG ASS crack on the tower, where the wrist pins are. FML. Has anyone dealt wit dis?
Hope all is well with u fella's. Been putting it in real hard trying to get caught up after our adventure in the ICU with the wife.

 

[treeclimber101]

And I'd be careful calling someone fat ass since you need an engine to climb a tree there ham hands .....

BTW, major storm here. Brings out all the pro's

I don't "need" the wraptor. I just see the productivity of being able to effortlessly ascend to my tip while carrying a saw, 9/16 lowering line, pulley, etc. The old ways are really just that... at least in terms of getting into the tree.

 

[treeclimber101]

LOL I know ya don't it just makes things nice

Mine has never broke but I tend to retain my figure at less than 185. Like I said I did however break my cover hinge (cover is fine) which is plastic and has no provision to be replaced. It is plastic, doesn't bend and must have been installed on the crossmember prior to being welded. Again pretty poor design imo but you'd have to pry the machine outta my dead hands with a crow bar to get it.

 

[tree MDS]

Your "figure", eh?

Even with current beer/equipment belly, I'm only about 190. Not thinking its a weight issue. Hell, if that thing can haul Jarrod's fat ass up even one tree, that's really a pretty impressive feat in and of itself...

 

[treevet]

post to be a 300 lb limit (including twinkies in the pocket)
