whadja do today?

But I have been looking for a log truck strictly to haul wood back and forth rather than I'd the crane. If its more than a load you gotta fold up the crane go dump.spend time pick each piece back up. Go back set up. Load again...
It can get time consuming. And hard on the truck.

 

[no tree to big]

Yeah or u make a pile n pick up at end of job... Have straps dedicated to loading logs grab a big pile leave it strapped so u don't gotta fish it through on the truck to get it off
But yes a grapple truck will change things dramatically

At least it seems you didn't have to take the bucket on that nice lawn.

The wife always know when I've been powdering my downstairs cause there's an outline of my feet on the bathroom floor.

Hahahaha I just showed mine the post and her exact words "that's gross". Glad I'm not the only one

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.

I would leave it on, you have the side folding one i wish i had. One day you mite need that jib and that will be the day after you take it off.

Finished a small oak removal today. Glad the National 900 was on board. Saw is a 3120 with a 48. Customer said it was the second largest red oak in the state. Went up about 12ft. then broke into 9 huge leads. Tree broke down in a recent storm. Full of shoe string.

I have a retarded monster of an oak to do on August 12. I need to measure it.

I have to get a deck over with a tilt cylinder. Getting these off with a can't hook is getting old.

I should add that we had to deal with an impromptu honey bee nest in that tree. We got hit real, real bad. Couldn't get close enough to spray so when the hollow piece with the nest was on the gravel driveway, we started a bum fire and dumped it on the nest to settle em down.

Beekeeper showed up when we were leaving to salvage the queen and comb. He estimated that there were 40,000 bees in that tree. 40,000! We worked hard for that check.

 

[NYTREECLIMBER]

That's a lot of bees

Beautiful day today! Couldn't ask for a better set up! Broke out the grcs for this one (now that I have a winch handle). I gotta take back what I said about that thing. Its actually pretty damn cool!! Perfect laid back friday job to play with it on. Did quite a few things with it today that made me rethink my opinion of it.

I've never even used that thing but I know it would be super handy. Def one of those devices who's potential is not fully understood until you use it in practical applications

Had a 10" (but decent sized) top sit back on itself today (left a perfect hinge though) Almost came down for a tag line and a couple pole sections. Then the lightbulb came on. I flew away and watched as it pulled it right over and into the hinge. Did some (makeshift) crane cuts with the wood too, etc. Very impressed.

 

[ducaticorse]

I need to get one.
