    Bixler new video. Better than ever.

    Thanks Levi, yep, the crane company does mostly trees and uses that 50 and a 21 ton. Thanks BOTS, great set up for the crane, everyone seemed happy to have that tree out... chop chop!

    Here's a quick vid of a Pine we craned out using a 50T. Big thanks to BOTS for getting ground shots and helping out. (y)

    There seem to be so many rules it's tough to keep up with, but yeah, anything 1.5 ton and larger needs to be like brand new to be legal. :eek: Silly liberals! Seems like the real truck guys go with Dodge, at least the mechanic/fix'er upper type... they say the cummins is bulletproof. :estudioso:

    Grapple Truck Body Build

    Ohhh, yes I see. Well Axe, offloading would be nice without the crane in the way. Pulling a lever to dump does half the work in the long run. Axe, also in your area you can offload brush and wood all mixed together, you don't chip much. If your using a large capacity chipper to process...

    Jason, can't you reach further into your work with a rear mount? Edit: ...also wouldn't you have a greater capacity on lifting loads when reaching off the back?

    Topping at 200+ ft

    That's true Reg, it might be small and compact but 120 ft would get used up real fast, and I'd be up a tree without enough rope! Right Reg, rope management, very important. I've never used a chainsaw over 200' but when I do, I'm going with 250ft coiled on my saddle pre rigged with the HH...

    Topping at 200+ ft

    Good point Reg, communication and patience is key. That HH is really the king when it comes to larger conifers, great point Murph. A steel carabiner is preferred on that spliced end of the climb line?

    Topping at 200+ ft

    Yes, I see now... pre-rigged and it reaches the ground... that's the key. Maybe a coil of 250ft hanging from saddle and deploy once brushed out... some nice lightweight 9mm?:fuckyou:

    Yeah Tristate, glad you made right with Jon and sorted out your misunderstanding... good move :tanguero:

    Topping at 200+ ft

    Isn't that a little silly?... to have 200 plus feet of line hanging below you 'just in case' you need to bail? Devil's advocate again here of course, but really??? I'd say 120 ft of line tucked in a backpack and deploy that after the top and a few logs... somewhere around a 100ft is...

    It's a slow rig Vetster, it's best to be ready to dump when someone's on my ass. :frenetico:

    Ford F-550 Northern New Jersey

    Ahhh, it's great to talk trucks.... Here's my first chip truck. 89 F700 w/ 429 gas engine, 2wd 5spd w/ split rear end, PTO dump, 14.5ft bed. It goes, very slow. I've had it two years now and have been fixing it up slowly. Not sure about it yet, it's left me stranded a couple times, it's...
