That’s my worker. What he thinks of that machine is what matters. He’s gonna be using it. Got a new one “starting” Monday.

The dude in the black polo shirt and khaki pants is your worker?

I wish I had a dapper dude on a jobsite.

In a quick check of child labor laws, anyone under 18 is not allowed to operate any power driven equipment, chainsaws were specifically named, nor work in any Forestry Service business. Yep, be careful.

He survived and is back in FL now. Thanks for that, though.

Nice little back yard spruce and stump.

Wolfie’s 200 was ripping that spruce up!

Day two. All done.

I remember you posting about that situation before.

Nice little setup.

Is the load bearing rigging line being lowered every time and then raised up with the grcs?

 

[DSW]

Just noticed the drill. I'm assuming that's a yes.

 

[gorman]

That’s a yes. Each time we had to pull about 60 feet of line through the grcs.

Pretty impressive setup. Nice to see today’s youth getting outside and doing something.

How much were you able to charge for that deal?

Just getting the wood out was 2900. I charged 2100 to rig out the top and get it on the ground and chipped.

Another 100’ stone dead ash in the woods (and next to house) today. I shot a line up in its one big crotch with my new bs with trigger (first shot). Then wraptored about 70’ up to the action. This thing was wobbly as hell, just a dead spire really. Made two totally psychotic cuts and that was about that. Just had to pole saw some hangers on the way down and chunk the trunk some. Then back to my giant and the ac. Some fun stuff.

This ornamental cherry thing was just a quick add on. One cut it and then trimmed it to fit by the house nice. Gotta love those $200 ten minute deals.

This new machine has been some headaches at times and was a steep learning curve,, plus waiting to get it set up right with the fourth function and back ordered Boss grapple and all, but in the end it was worth it. Absolutely sick. It’s does everything I could ever want and more. Continually blows my mind every day and every time I step into it. Pure joy.

I’m actually starting to feel sorry for my “competition”. Well, almost..

Good eye. I think it made it under the umbrella eventually.

It was the only way.

I need to replace the winch line on our 15" morbark. The line that was on it was 100 feet but I'm looking to go as long as possible will 200 feet of 5/16" fit? Is 5/16 adequate for a chipper winch? will 200' of 3/8" fit?

Probably. Open it up and look at the bollard for the winch. You should be able to tell.
