Dont cry, just do it
I would have driven that truck but my bucket truck is a cdl truck and he didn't have a cdl. Maybe I should re register my bucket to make it under cdl so I can drive the new chip truck and chipper all the time.
whadja do today?

I do to my mini alot with it but that's only 5k with trailer.
It's different state to state but here in wi cdl is required if the registration, actual, or gvwr is over 26,000. Even if the actual and registered weight is under they will still nail ya here
I agree. Wait, who's the goober, Jared or the other one??
Ordered a few new 3/4" tenex slings and another 3/4" cmi block earlier. Gonna pick a new 9/16 db locally tomorrow too.
Amazing how some of the most important (and relatively cheap) things can go neglected if you're not careful.

You didn't buy any X-rings?
Lol. Was thinking about that. Did see them in the Sherrill catalog earlier though. Funny, been resting my drinks right on the old x rings all year!
Was thinking they'd be good for a grcs redirect (concise) if the rope was coming down from the tree you're working on. Bought the pulley cuz I want to get the groundy and grcs away from the load by going to another tree (where I can). Cough.. cough.

I normally just buy 3/4" tenner and splice my own loops. Very very easy and you save a boat load of money
Its good that you learned to splice and all, but you ain't doing enough work to save a "boatload" on splicing tennex slings. Drivers ed for the workers might be a thought though. Just saying. Lol
Anyway. Sorry if that sounded a little harsh Jared. I was just thinking out loud.

That old bastid has been out here in So Cal, in La Jolla, didn't even look me up. Sounds like he had a good time.

Sounds like he swallowed something he regretted, no doubt!!

Well a store bought sling is like $50. I can splice my own for like $20

Sorry, no pics but we dropped about 40 trees into lakes for some better fishing. One was actually a 41"dbh white pine that popped off the stump and slid down the hill 15ft into the lake..... thank goodness cause noway were 6 of us gonna move that sumabitch with manual log haulers
Yeah, but if you use up three slings a year (highly doubt it), that's only $90. I could almost spend that at the packie in a day. Besides, I like the peace of mind I get in a professionally spiced sling. Bigger things to worry about. That's just me though.

Splicing tennex Is so easy. Takes about 5 mins a splice. Even you could do it!
You're not hearing me!! I'd rather be doing something else for what that amounts to. Better things to worry about/put my energy into (if I was that motivated).
