    CMC lift failure

    When they said they observed some lift being used improperly, are they taking about people rigging with the basket?

    CMC lift failure

    I don’t think they will go out of business. There’s hundreds and hundreds of those lifts in operation in the us and maybe a few have had failures. I suspect the company will replace the boom on existing ones or maybe fishplate some steel. Also, how they handle this will either reinforce or kill...

    Is there any money in stump grinding??....

    Know your area! Around here you’d live on ramen. Not much money in stumps but other areas there is.

    Samson Hyperclimb is Yale Blue moon is Poison Ivy?

    I tried hyperclimb. I liked it but it twists a lot. That’s the only downside I found.

    Teufelberger Crane Kit--back up that Cow Hitch correctly (if you use it).

    Cloves can roll out just as easily. Harder to untie. Two half hitches and you are good on the cow hitch.

    2003 F450 Chip Truck - suspension/leaf springs?

    This is good advice. Some springs get tired over time and others on the same truck might not get tired. A suspension shop could tell in quick time what you need.

    Skid vs Mini Skid

    If I were the op I would make a note of all the jobs that would be excluded by not having a machine that fits through a 36” gate. I went back and audited my work load when I was looking at machines and found I rarely, maybe once every five months or so, needed that skinny machine. Those 34”...

    15 years of doing tree work and had my first property damage today.

    They can get scary big. There was three in a row on a state road over a couple tiny houses near the university of Rhode Island. Averaged about 38” or so dbh. They kept falling apart and missing the houses. It took the state years to finally remove them.

    15 years of doing tree work and had my first property damage today.

    I get one mulligan a year. It’s always small. Had the hinge break prematurely on an aspen and the trunk landed on the guy’s shed while he was watching. We just fixed it that weekend. Took four shingles, some flashing and a 2x4.

    Hooklift tips wanted.

    You’ll be good at 16. Mats can be brought with another truck or put in the bin. Sacrificing two feet for mats would be, eh, kinda a bad idea imo.
