    Tell me something stupid you did!

    This one time I was loading logs at the end of the day, everybody else had just left the jobsite maybe 5 min before, got out of the seat of the kboom and started walking on top of the load of logs towards the cab, one the logs shifts, I loose my footing and fall head first towards the ground...

    Looking for advice on a bucket truck.

    Will the air compressor be in the cold? If so make sure you drain the water buildup in the tank often.

    Cranes cracking driveways

    Honestly it's more of a gut feeling, but if it looks like highway grade asphalt and not a thin layer of almost painted on asphalt over mud I'm more confident.

    Cranes cracking driveways

    I was confident of the driveway, that doesn't mean I wasn't stressed. Our crane weighs 76k, we don't do much driveway damage, mainly because we avoid the bad ones.

    Cranes cracking driveways

    Here's an interesting one, yesterday I had a guy make me sign a piece of paper that I would be liable for any driveway damage, he was a neighbour to our customer and I could reach better from his driveway, after I inspected it to see if it looked like a quality driveway I signed his "contract"...

    Knuckleboom hand signals

    Years ago I probably would have done the same, until I was signaling to an inexperienced kboom operator, and had to stand there for a second thinking about how I was going to get him to do what I wanted.

    Looking for advice on a bucket truck.

    If the Rad is plugged then the heat from the Rad isn't making its way to the heat clutch, it's designed to have enough air flowing through the Rad to expand the clutch, get the Rad cleaned out and the clutch will start working again. After you have it washed the best thing to do is take a blow...

    Knuckleboom hand signals

    Those signals are standard crane signals, I agree discuss it before hand. In the past i've tapped my elbow to indicate I was signaling for the jib. According to the standard crane signals tapping your elbow is for the aux. winch, since most kbooms don't even have 1 winch I think it translates well.

    What do we know about this Morbark chipper?

    . That's some really good advise, I also second the chuck n' duck, they're simple, powerful, reliable, and I you go with a brand like asplundh there are 1000's of them out there to strip parts off of.

    Yes, if you're going that big with the truck 40yd should be ok.

    People actually believe the earth is flat?

    It's all a rouse to sell basketballs, the government wants us to think the world is round so we'll buy basketballs that we'll then bounce across the floor, pretending we're bouncing the entire earth like Zeus or some kind of super human. Now the beef jerky conglomerate is focusing our attention...

    New build project for Gallo Tree PK50002 D JP125E JV1 w/ Mecanil GS220

    I don't actually push rod anymore, except for certain situations like working outside or tight areas where I can't get the right angle with the mig torch.

    The view from my office window

    Today, an ash we formerly topped to get rid of the EAB affected tops (I know stupid, but that's what he wanted and the rest stayed green for 2 more years) I know the second pic isn't very clear, but that's 96' away.‎
