    Light 14 or 16" narrow kerf bar for 200t or 201t

    Same setup here with my 201, and it can handle having the full bar buried in Oak. Although typically when you get to that size your better off switching out saws unless it's just 1 or 2 cuts

    Mecanil Rake

    Gotcha. I've seen similar designs for attaching to an excavator grapple. I could see how he would need a kickstand for that design, unless it had a wide enough base to support itself vertically.

    Mecanil Rake

    It's a learned skill. Assuming it's a bmg grapple and rake. Have him loosely grab it on the ground and lift for it to align itself with the bristles facing down. Then lift the arms and tilt the grapple back to line up the post before closing the grapple firmly. Often lining up that post is...

    Mecanil Rake

    This is the bmg rake as well. If you didn't know, you can order replacement wood and tines that bolt into the frame. I needed to replace mine after about 5 years. It was stored outside for that period, so weather probably contributed to it beginning to fall apart.

    Mecanil Rake

    Reviving an old thread, but it seemed like the best one to show this video under. Branch Manager grapple rake cleaning up after an Oak removal. The grapple truck does not run the rake as effiently as the miniskid does, but running it like this avoids a lot of trips up and down the ladder...

    Today....

    It has been so far. He really seems to like it, however I think he is starting to feel some growing pains. He now has this crane and the 50t and cannot run both at the same time. It's hard to have a payment on a truck and to let it sit idle at the shop while running the other one.

    Today....

    Declining Oak tree removal with just 2 guys. I ran the ground, miniskid, grapple truck and climbed, and hired in the crane operator who unhooked some slings as well as operating the crane. While I was climbing was really the only time a 3rd person could have been used, to finish loading the...

    Avant "Knee"

    Does everyone drive around with their left leg sticking out while operating? I catch myself doing that on a vermeer loader. It could be poor ergonomics of not being fully seated in the machine. I've not ever ran the vermeer all day to have pain. I'm typically on a bobcat mini

    Lightly used 400c

    That's correct. A local dealer pulled up some specs one of my saws for me. Hrs ran, average time ran between shut offs, number of pulls to last start the saw, rpms it's been running at... pretty impressive that it tracks so much. I had no idea until I saw the data

    Need innovative idea for spiraling Christmas lights in taller trees

    Bumping an old thread. We visited these two "magic trees" in Columbia Missouri today. The smaller one had 27,500 lights and the larger sycamore has over 8 miles of Christmas lights.

    Lucky Garage Moments

    I didnt check the gauge but probably around 90 psi. The air gun i used probably limited the psi actually going in the can. It has additional holes near the tip to increase the amount of air flow. Although when pressed against the can would allow excess pressure to blow out. It didnt...

    Lucky Garage Moments

    I thought I'd add this here, maybe it belongs in tips and tricks. I found that if you have a can of spray that runs out of propellent you can remove the nozzle and recharge it with an air gun. I've thrown so many cans of pb and wd40 away that would no longer spray. The other day I was using...

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    As for hitting the perfect tie in, or settling for something more easily obtainable; you can do both. If you hit a usable anchor, leave that throwline in and grab a second setup and try for the ideal spot a few more times without the pressure, knowing you have a backup spot. Throwballs...

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    I'm not sure if it helps, but I skip the knot. I throw right handed but I hold a lot of the tension with my left hand. My right hand can avoid gripping it so tightly and is almost a redirect and pendulum creator. If your too close to the tree it can cause you to want to release late for a...

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    Coats in this weather effect me negatively too. I have to take mine off no matter how cold to do a decent throw. A hoodie doesn't bother me. The type and aize of throwline makes a difference too. I struggle to throw one that's too thin accurately. Is the late release due to trying to...
