First crane job ever today... white oak near a house. I think I liked it. Actually felt smoother being tied into the crane than flying in a bucket.
On an interesting note, while we were working, a guy drove by in a nice Cadillac... he was so busy watching me that he forgot to pay attention to the road... hit a big rock on the side of the road with his tire, destroyed the rim and who knows what else.

Cool picture with that rig in TCI this month. Sweet unit for sure. I might be working with a 40 ton here soon. Can't wait.
I have a 110' (honest guess) white pine this week that I have to rig all the way down to the ground. I wish i could have used a crane for this one... gonna be tough with the new help, thats for sure. At least i can get the truck right to it for the bigger wood and some lower branches. Its gonna suck climbing out of "Stubs" with those guys down there though.

Juan is an awesome worker, and pretty damn good with a saw, just not so much with the ropeo. lol.
I havent even told you about the other freak of nature yet... I may just have to fire his ass preemptively, because I dont even wanna know where this one would lead if I dont... this cat just gets stranger by the day!

If he's figured out a saw I'm confident you can teach him the ropes. It's not rocket science.
My offer's still on the table for my partner and I to come help you out every now and then. We're fairly busy here but nothing we can't jet out a day or two for a fun road trip. Plus, I really want to pit Eric against Juan for an all out ground guy of the year battle! My bud is bad, seriously, you gotta see him. He ain't the greatest with the saw yet, but he runs ropes like a mofo and out-drags/lifts anybody I've seen.
I think he can learn it, I would rather not be his practice, if you know what I'm saying though. In juan's defense, he was a forman for davey, so he has never seen a porty before.
Thanks for the offer on the help. I'll keep that in mind. I'm trying to build a crew now is the deal... just wish I never hired Eljay (lawn jockey).. damn weak link!

Finally got it painted yesterday so I took the top off and went for a cruise today. Grabbed some free lunch at my buddies restaurant. Now I'm stuffed, sleepy and waiting for the Tstorms to come in. Could make for an interesting week. "crossing fingers":chainsawguy:

Cool back ground of big healthy trees, I think these kinda pics are cool.

Took a couple big dead birch down for a neighbor as a favor. The cool part got to run the neighbors new 362 for some time and kinda liked it. The other up side doing him the favor may have got one or maybe two paying jobs.
Blake you need any parts for four runner talk to Fishercat he has a few of them at his homestead.

I can feel my fingers sticking together thinking about it.
did 12 pine and a pooplar today. couldn't get to the 14th tree though. had a long ass week and today the tank ran empty. hurts the pride if you know what i mean. oh well.
blakes. we sent the dude who runs the grapple up on saturday. little guy was scared out of his mind and i damn near had to force him into my saddle and onto the ball. you shouldve seen the smile on him went he got down. lol.
198 ft is no joke. especially when you can pick 8500lb at about a 100ft.
I got the job. Have the tractor out there and just ordered the dumpster. $460 for a 20 yarded, plus 25 distance charge. Not cheap but still worth it, its gonna make that job soo much smother! Comes out to $24.25 a yard. Guy said all of their "brushboxes" have a gate, so I can drive right in.
The guy was trying to work me down $600 on the price of this job. I reluctantly went down $300. Then a separate silver maple fell on his barn (lol, ins. job). So I went out to look at that, and told the lady my original price was good, and she aggreed. Gotta love the tree justice!
