    Dr. Cornwallis's Work Thread And Stuff

    Something I would like to say again, my quest for a CUT/SCUT is meant as a cost effective replacement to a Mini Track Loader (MTL) such as the Bobcat MT55. My desire for a larger tractor than a SCUT is basically me looking to get the most cost effective solution for my money. I'm not looking to...

    New climber looking for advice

    It's hard to tell in that picture how far it hangs over your garage. Depending on that, I would likely tie in above, climb up and not rig at all but just cut small sections away until it clears the garage and then take that bigger section down in a few pieces. It doesn't look like that branch...

    Ground Damage

    I basically give three options: Normal: minimal regard for ground damage, everything is dropped. I'll drop it in a manner that it does as little damage as possible, however, nothing is rigged for lowering. Minor Damage: larger logs are rigged and lowered. Minimal/No damage: Anything that...

    According to news stories, it appears he was killed in April while working out of a bucket truck. He was struck by a falling limb. I didn't know him but it sounds like he was a real stand up guy. RIP. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Anyone coming down to Texas to Work after the Storm?

    I'd love to come up there and do some climbing and cutting with other buzzers, however, I just started Paramedic school and can't take the time off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My WOD

    It's very good to work towards goals, and it's also good to see where you stack up compared to others, but be careful, especially with crossfit and chasing faster times. It's often a good way to get hurt, and for what? A little background... I've been a part of crossfit in some capacity for...

    Dr. Cornwallis's Work Thread And Stuff

    It's small but how big of a trailer do I really need for doing smaller jobs, especially if on bigger jobs I'm utilizing a grapple truck service? I found a local company, a fairly large one actually, who will send out a 60 yd grapple truck for $400 a load. That almost makes it hard for me to...

    If I can find a fairly priced grapple service, then the need for a bigger truck is pretty much negated for a while. I can safely tow most small compact tractors with my Tacoma. A compact tractor and small dump trailer is well under weight, and the trailers have brakes too, that would be enough...

    Dr. Cornwallis's Work Thread And Stuff

    So far I have been cherry picking, I either take jobs small enough to dispose of with my truck 5x8 trailer or I pick jobs in rural areas where I can just stack everything into a burn pile. Commercial vehicle insurance is something I've looked in to. I was debating weather or not it was worth...

    I'm going to do a lot more research, I've been a little shocked by how great they seem for the money, and they really like to push that "98% customer satisfaction/ loyalty" line. LS is a big contender too, I'm going to get quotes from several dealers, including Kubota, Deer, and LS. I like Deer...

    I wouldn't dream of pulling 10k with that truck, not only for safety reasons but I'm not sure how long it would hold up like that. I'm kind of eyeballing some used Ram Cummins in the 94-02 range as a work only truck. I'd feel a lot better about a second work only vehicle if I could afford to...
