whadja do today?

[treeclimber101]

With a 2 man crew (all I have really ever had) throw in a Dingo and it will drag that (lead?) out of the picture immediately or if nec spin it around and then drag it out of the lz.

On a daily basis the machine just boggles my mind what it does and how it would be impossible to be competitive without one anymore.

Took out a 30" dia 90ish foot Tulip today and the little toy figuratively manhandled that tree whereas in the past I would have brought in the crane to boom in the logs.

Magic pure and simple.

Thats for sure that little bastard is never broke down , they pounce on that machine when it coughs funny , we use ours more than our chipper and I know this cause the little hr. meter catches up to that chipper meter real quick ...

We are juuuust shy of used Dingo range right now. Will probably start looking soon enough. I'd really like the 525 wide track with the diesel but the 420's are more narrow ( for gates ) and MUCH cheaper used. We'll see.

Nice. I did think there was some irony in you mentioning his "annual going out of business sale"

100 bucks for a 200t is unbelievable. PM me next time he has one of these sales. I will fly over!

Yeah right, I'll be sure to inform you. lol Let's just say he sent me a text at 7 pm and I had a saw in my truck by 7:30.

they make the 525 (diesel) in a narrow Blakes and that's what I got. Mechanic told me that the wide ones throw tracks more often but we bought it mainly for going thru gates like you said.

Interest comparing the two hour meters 101.

Ours never shuts down I have replaced the engine already and put tires on it every two months , my machine is really fun to have we use ours with pallet forks for wood and the bucket for other things , I would like to find one more and make it strictly a grapple loader ...

I messed up a little today but it was all good, little fence damage but was too dangerous to rig from, climbed carefully two tie in points rotten white oak limbs already breaking. I told the golf super the fence may get a little damage and why! I hate it when you jump a limb and have it all clear but the dern brush end hits first and kicks the butt back!

Excuses excuses, Its Ok rope fences are built to be fixed and not to mention they are the archenemies of tree climbers world wide , if I had to count every picket that I've replaced in my life , well that would be hard ya know what I mean vern?

Lol I seldom do, It was a matter of safety the leaders would not have taken much rigging and I was not going to die for the fence below. The super was happy and said don't worry about it his boys would take care of the one bad rung!
