The other stuff like hard hats and safety glasses really shouldn't be a question. Also, try setting a friction saver above the ball of the crane. Not trying to bust balls.

All day guaranteed I would never tell a lie , there are times when I will soak through a undershirt and them have to work short sleeve but rarely

Its official. EAB found in my town (not a mile from my shop). Made the front page today. Thought I saw one recently. Kind of a shame.

You should look for a crane to buy, stat.
I know it sucks, but you may as well cash in on it while it's there.

I think it was yesterday I went to pick up the loader, my first trip was to remove the battery, test it, clean it, put it back in. Its weak and once the machine is started it won't shut off because of the weak battery. Fuel solenoid I was told.
Is this the makings of a runaway diesel?
While I was checking out the battery I noticed the hydro reservoir was leaking a little at a hose clamp and making a stain on the dump trailer's patina.
So I put a charger on the battery and went home for awhile. When I went back the dude who owns the supply yard where the loader is had fallen off a loft ladder and landed on cold concrete.
On the way back home I passed the blue tractor sitting in my friend's yard.
So lets see:
Andy, my help, is up in stitches
Chris, my friend at the supply yard, is in the trauma center
Maura, my friend with the blue tractor, is going through cancer treatment all the sudden.
Don't come around me.
Its Sunday, I might take the chipper out for a little bit, I might not.

I was at a sight in June that had 300 35' ash that are all dying back , and that is nothing I would say that 80% of the total number of ash around here are struggling
We'll see about all that. Not investing anything more in this business till it starts giving back some more. Our ash trees have been on the slow croak forever now anyway. Nobody seems too concerned as it is.

Try to be more positive!
Looking from another perspective:
The universe is to big to be upset over a little bug. One day a meteor from out there is going to slam into the earth and wipe everything out.
I hope I have helped.
**** in a few years when all the ash are completely removed idk what the market will be like here right now my crew is probably 75% ash removals whole company is 50% ash removals when those are gone and ded wipes most of the elms I think we gonna be screwed

If they just found eab evidence...they have already been there 5 years or more. Within the next ten years huge money will be made by someone. You have to be ready with equipment or it won't be you.

I remember that same opinion around here and then it turned out it was eab all along.
I remember some in here thinking they would make money in the Worcester area when the bugs invaded. Turns out the major work was taken by huge outfits with little left over for the little guys with or without equipment. Happened around here with a major storm that came through and knocked down major wood. Big firms were hired to come in with huge equipment to cleanup quickly.
Think that was ALB, but I remember reading about that here. They quaranteed like 80 miles, or something?

Mayer tree out of Essex was the company out in western MA. He had 4 60T groves working pretty much 24/7 the entire time the contract lasted. He made millions and millions of dollars. It really put him on the map as far as major privately owned tree cos co.
He had he contracts but subbed out a **** ton of work from it. There is money to be made by a well equipped small outfit.

Put new brake asembles and drums on my flat bed trailer. Everything was a super huge pain in the ass. Some of the backing plate bolts wouldn't come apart, 2 grease guns not working, then I had a wheel seal spring pop out when I went to put the drum on. Fml

Went to get the loader again this morning, saw the brand new drive belt had been chaffing and had thrown some fibers. Guy said he was taking it back to the shop.

Sounds like a good machine to pass on.
