So you need a bigger shop yet? I think you need indoor parking for your new fleet!
Plan on keeping both buckets now?

No money for a bigger shop.
The old bucket is currently advertised in the tree trader. Don’t need it anymore.
You need to get yourself some of those metal carport roofs to keep the lift n loader underNo money for a bigger shop.

Any chance that spider thing can fit in an enclosed trailer?
Thankfully I can fit this thing in my shop. I just have to tighten up the sides where the “stuff” starts bulging out. It’s nice and narrow anyway.
The lift looks awesome!
Thanks. I’m excited to get to work with it after the holiday here.
Other than using it (and the obvious safety factor with all the dead trees), I’m most looking forward to the way it changes looking at jobs. It’s completely refreshing after 30 years of the same old same old. Between this and the Giant, and the 20” chipper, it’s an entirely new game.
I mean yeah, payments suck, but I don’t think anyone ever really got anywhere without taking some chances at some point.
The fact that the work to earn those payments is so much more civilized doesn’t hurt either. Lol.

I worry about overhead sometimes due to the unreliability of workers. My ability to earn is severely hampered if someone doesn’t show up and I’m stuck with one guy on the ground. As long as you have the ground covered your payments shouldn’t be a problem.
Yeah, you really do still need two ground guys (sadly). Just the plywood and the raking and the putting tools away, etc., etc. I do so much as it is that lending a hand with any of that just puts it over the top. I’m sure the ground help feels the same if there’s not another guy too. Lol.
All loaded up!! Lol
I worked with Grace Tree on Wednesday; he told me you called him to talk about the omme lifts. Cool to see you picked one up. They definitely have their niche and will complement your other equipment really well.
Snagged a MS500I from a guy in Greece. First production fuel injected chainsaw. It runs awesome and is very light weight. Will probably see them late this year or early next year here in the states.

You’re gonna get so fat.
Nah. He’s going to be putting that shizzle on the ground so fast he’s going to have to get down to help his groundies out

I'm almost afraid to ask- how much are those payments? That machine looks amazing.
Took out a big Norway Spruce today. Stump was 66" at its widest.
Not the most fun I ever had on the first day, but we got a hollow, stone dead 110 footer out. This is all 90’ and turret about 5’ from tree, needled through Norway maple branches (that’s a dogwood down there too lol). Couldn’t even see the ground over the other trees. Like I said, not the most fun for day one. Lol. Better times ahead hopefully!
90’ is a little sketchy out of a lift as opposed to the bucket?
70’ out of the Nifty lift sure did.
You just got to keep telling yourself, it ain’t going nowhere

Nah, lift is fine with me. That type of thing doesn’t bother me. I just didn’t like this particular job.
