    Wedgin' n jackin'

    Nice work! That’s quite a lean. When I saw the second photo, for a fraction of a second I thought the wedge was on the top of the jack. Holding true to the thread title.

    NCCO crane certification study guide

    I’m going to push back a bit, @Steve Connally. I don’t think you necessarily need to be well versed in PM, or Effer, or Palfinger. There will be certain particularities such as; put you saw head on over here, or this lever makes the outrigger do this until you flip this valve and now it does...

    NCCO crane certification study guide

    @VenasNursery , I’m very happy to hear you’re making it to this level. This will be a real game changer for you. On another point, I have mixed feelings about a mentor coming in. If @Steve Connally shows up, or someone of his caliber, you will be in very good hands and it will be worthwhile...

    The Hoeflon C10

    Could be worth every red cent.

    Lanyard Positioner?

    Same here. I do like the integrated swivel on the Positioner II.

    Haha! Hey, aren’t you the guy that got everyone to jam branch stubs in their front wheels? What a guy! Haha!

    Tree oddities

    Well my first thought was I’m glad this didn’t fall off somewhere on the short stretch of road behind me. Small price to pay for a lug cover or two. Then the piece came out like butter with nothing was broken. Totally surprised. If was just a “dude perfect” moment.

    Tree oddities

    OK, so this is loosely tree related, but it should qualify for this thread by the extreme odd factor… I pulled into the folk’s driveway and chipped for an hour, then continued through the “U” driveway and out to the roadside to wreck out a little Norway Maple. I probably never crested 15 mph in...

    The Hoeflon C10

    Found this which is new… But there was an older one as well from a different manufacturer and I can’t find it. Perhaps Hoeflon purchased that company and scrubbed the web of their content.

    The Hoeflon C10

    I’m going to try and find an older vid of the’Multi-Crab’. If designed for securely holding wood, it would be the bees knees for grab/cut operations with a climber or adjacent aerial lift. Gimme a minute…

    In their natural habitat, no less. Love it!

    It is. I was just thinking about taper, really. I know of a sure-fire bald cypress and will get a pic as soon as I can. It’s actually the only one I know of around here.

    Speaking of trunk “taper”, I saw this tree just yesterday…

    Tree oddities

    We do get significant taper as well, with highly pronounced sinuses and super nodes that threaten to swallow lateral branches on the lower trunk. I’ve often wondered if crown raising over time is worthwhile if only to create proper wound closure. If a lower branch dies off and its collar is...
