UNCLE BUCK
No it's a uncle of the guy who helps me at work a old head that hasn't worked in more then 8 years it was all piled up in a wheelbarrow still covered in sawdust and full of gas , I said to him that now I don't feel comfortable knowing it all runs and let's take it back he said hell never touch the stuff again and rightfully so he was hurt in a bucket that fell to the ground and can't work trees anymore
Keep the stuff but offer to pay a little more for everything since they run.

Like what isn't an insult
$200-300 more.
Well, I know taking pics on the job has been deemed in poor taste, but I had to snap a couple of this ash eating hot death. You know when the 372 and 3/4" comes out for a drop hitch, something's gonna give. Lol.
And of course the farming steiner for the wood..

That is some BIG Ass wood for a tractor to lift. Sure there's not a crane somewhere there ?

Speaking of crane, is a crane in one of your pictures ? Yours ? Size and reach ? I would be careful about climbing into a tree like that, you never know what lives in there. Possum, Raccoon and red bugs come to mind.

I did a thorough recon before going in. H.O. said a ground hog used to live in there. Must be vacated now.
Yea. I've got a crane. It's a national 500c. 15ton? 62ft main got a jib but I never use it. Mounted on a 96f800
It gets the job done but there's times I wish I had a little more reach.

You can do a lot with that truck! Sometimes traditional rigging methods won't work and u need to be creative but u can still get er done

Mine is only 14 ton and the gib is factory under folder. Never used it. Was thinking if doing something to make the jib larger and stronger but not sure. It was used to put up cell phone towers and i bought it from the original owner.
Our smaller crane is a 14t and I have a decent capacity considering what the crane is. Going off memory with the single jib(has a 2ND pull out stage that's virtually usless) at 40 degrees Im good for like 1k 55 degrees is like 1600 and I can't say for sure at higher angles cause I rarely can use it like that...

I've been thinking of taking my jib off completely. I figure it would free up a few pounds of lifting power with out it on there.
Maybe 500lbs or more I think.

Learn to use the jib keep it on! At full extension its only like 150 pounds u gain 450 fully retracted I think u might be slightly overloaded in that pic of the logs on the crane....I've been thinking of taking my jib off completely.
