Remember Aerial Analist and the lawn tractor?

To be honest, amongst those lazy ****s that would rather receive unemployment benefits than do an honest weeks work, there is more than a few one would not really want to employ....

Just saying!!

Oh I hear you. I just like to see them have to struggle. Lol

Did some crane work yesterday. My buddy brought his new to him log truck for a couple of the jobs. What a time saver. He’s got a big shop/yard to stock pile logs. He’ll eventually sell firewood loads for $600 to $750. Seems like a win win acquisition.

Also, my ditch witch gernaded the front idler bearing, so we finished the day with my buddy’s sk1550. It’s an animal. Perfect machine to complement a crane crew.

Still looking for a bucket truck. Set my budget at $35k, but that doesn’t get you much in this market right now.

Where are you located? I might sell my bucket and buy a new one. Its a 92 F700 65 foot hi-ranger. 70 foot working height. 45,000 miles. 6,000 pto hours. Good clean truck.

I don’t know about those mini skid things. Standing on them looks dangerous and a bit too much like work to me. Must freeze your ass off in the winter.

If I could afford it and even find a good used machine the same as my Giant I’d do it in a heartbeat. That thing is like my right hand. Once I get my A/C working again (this winter) I’ll be in paradise. Too bad they had to ruin the new ones with the pollution control.

MDS, I’m on my 2nd mini skid.

MDS, the right mini skid is a game changer. I guarantee if you had one you would wonder how you lived without it.

I was very reluctant to buy a mini skid but using one, a tracked one, changed my mind big time. Skinny enough to get in very tight places, tracks leave minimal damage to turf until you turn repeatedly in the same spot, easy to transport and depending on your specs, they can lift quite a load, log wise. With a grapple out the front, I can easily pick 800 lb logs no problem. The lift height isn't much to write home about but if you have the log loader as you do, good extra piece of equipment. And keep in mind, the other attachments that you can get for them, depending on what you do, Buckets for dirt and/or mulch, brush mower, forks, stump grinder etc.

 

[tree MDS]

I hear you. I’ve thought about one for the eventual second crew, but the tractor is plenty to start (besides I can’t afford it now anyway). I guess I’m kinda spoiled in that my giant is rated to lift 4400 lbs, so even with the 60” “Boss” (lol) grapple and backing plate @ 850 lbs (give or take 50 lbs, can’t remember exactly for sure), I can still lift 3550. Not bragging, but it’s pretty sick.

 

[tree MDS]

I mean my guys hardly do any chainsaw work at the chipper when I’m feeding with it, I can literally just grapple and crunch any forks that look questionable.
