[jefflovstrom]

Most of ours are good however there are the token dbags. Just like there are the token dbag inconvinced homeowners. We block lots of roads and lots of driveways we try and get cars moved out of drives blocked by crane and bucket but if only the chipper truck is blocking we dont try to hard on moving those cars. I don't mind the ones who say hey I gotta leave in 10 mins or are nice about things but the ones who are all you f'ers are blocking me what are u gonna do about it I start being a **** right back. My fav is when the ******* drive through or I should say over my cones at the end of the block across the road and demand I move the trucks blocking the road. Really now do u think I'm really going to listen to u? I really pissed this one guy off good I just picked up my out riggers on the crane there was plenty of room to drive a car through but we were still working so I try to turn the guy around since he came through the cones
he's all I can make it i know I can I told him I don't think your gonna he starts rolling I'm like hold on a sec so I put my out riggers back out half way, he really liked that. oh did the go fukurselves start coming out. Then there's the you should notify us people... i have a contract with your town i remove 200+ trees a year from your town what am i going to do send a letter to every single person? Hell your cable guy can come inside our cones and park in front of your house to do there work you are not even close to our work this one chick came cursing me out because she had contractors coming, I'm like ok?? Well how can they get to my house? My response "just like your dumb ass did when u ran over my cone, is it still under your car?" Now we are getting the you are butchering my tree people.. best is when I've only removed dead wood from it. I'm like people I'm not getting paid to over trim your parkway tree I get paid to make sure there is no big dead wood and raise it over the street and sidewalk then clear street lights nothing more I assure u I want to do as little work as possible

I need a good retard to yell at, hope I get one tomorrow.

So far this things bad ass. The pulling and crushing power are tremendous. Haven't had to use the down pressure bar yet if the feed roller gets it it's over. Haven't had to back anything out or try to reposition to get it to go through. I'll make some videos when we get into nicer weather. 160hp does alot better than I thought it would. Deffinetly notice the fuel difference tho between the 120 deere didn't think it would make much of a difference. We put a good bit of 15" material through it now it has 8 hours on it wanna be done with tightening belts.

Only thing is the winch set from the factory was much weaker we had to mess with the valve hopefully that takes care of it.

What machines are you familiar with/comparing this to? I am curious about the terex. My hesitation lies in that there are no dealers nearby who would stock parts and such. I hear great things about the machines though.

The sun is actually out this am. I had 4° earlier. That first day of tee shirt weather is going to especially nice this year. Lol "hey, I'm not dead and its actually warm and sunny out... sweet"! Yeah, I can see it already, going to be beautiful days indeed.

Got a lil 5 hour elm removal, or so I think. Roll up hell nah how about 10. No lz gotta boom almost fully in to get the puny pieces to the ground. fun fun fun

Playing in the snow for the last 36 hours. I hate pushing snow.

 

[treebilly]

I hear you Zale. I almost enjoy it the first push of the season. After that, I'm over it

1590 Bandit would be the comparable model to a 750hd. a 770 would be the 1890. It has more crushing maybe more pulling power than a 280xp we are were using. the planetary drive gears have required almost no prep work getting big tops to go through basically so far once the roller touches its a done deal if you can get it in there it will eat it. the autofeed almost never kicks on because you can adjust the roller speed for 18 inch logs seems to be faster than waiting for the engine rpms to recover. I would compare it to the size of a 1590 bandit with the infeed power of the 1890 or close to it. we used a 1590 a lot but had to hit the down pressure bar a lot with big bushy tops. the 750 and 770 if you get the 750hd model are really close in pulling and crushing power almost the same.

parts are only a day away from Michigan I just had the first service done at Vermeer they did the belts and clutch for me after initial break in hours.

Got off early on a Beautiful day in San Diego!,,80 degrees at my house,,
The kids want to go to the beach.

[treebilly]

Enjoy the beach Jeff In 3 months I'll be able to sit by the pool after work and relax.
Glad you like the terex Matt. We've almost got the 250 ready to go. Need to order the last chance cables and replace the Pintel ring yet. How the hell did you manage to bend that thing? Going to flop some of those pines behind the shop next Saturday and put it to work

 

[Aldegar]

Washed my stank ass helmet.

Supposed to finally reach 40° or a little higher today. I'll take it. Actually have a couple day job planned for next weekend, so I guess that'll be the unofficial start to my season.. whether I'm ready or not.

Jeff, that's the most annoying smiley I've ever seen. Some nice work there. Short of him waving a rainbow flag, I don't think you could've found anything more californian looking. lol
