    Marc, I'm sorry I misrepresented the length. I remembered those numbers from my conversations but when I pulled my bid it was as Ben described. Here is my factual stats.

    This is a short video of a typical removal with the treemek and stem removal.

    W4500 chip truck

    The frr's still have the lower frame but have the 7.8l duramax in them allowing for better towing. I have a 12' switchngo, dingo 420 and the 1890hd and it pulls loaded just fine. Cabovers are the only trucks I will buy for these residential areas. It would be different if I was out in western...

    Ben, that's great news! Hope you and your dad like the truck.

    Plymouth, MA crane accident

    Technically the truck still has an outrigger down so one could argue that it's not all the way tipped over. Splitting hairs you could say it's got a hard lean with an affection towards the house. Roof/attic/interior second floor.

    Gerasimek's Tree-mek

    I'm sorry but with a newborn and a 2 y/o, awake and sleep all merge together. I was not very clear on that but it is still faster with the grapple saw in most cases. Having the ability to grab a branch and either bring it all the way down or drop it at any point is helpful. I don't think this...

    Sorry for the late reply, i used the traditional climb or bucket setup previously. I can say that I took some video while not using grapple saw because we needed all 115' of reach. I later watched some of the video and noticed it took so long to get the hook and then for it to be taken off the...

    Conifers that are very bushy can be a pain for that setup. Either put the bucket on or take it in sections with the hook. I'll try to set up a full takedown for a short video

    A few more, pushing the elevator truck to pull its own weight.

    Gerasimek's Tree-mek

    I believe it's 97' of hydraulic but using a 2' extension as Glen suggested keeps the grapple off the boom some giving you 99'. So that's 97' and if you want a little more you can use three manual extensions of 6' to get out to 115' minus the weight of the extensions with a max limit of 500lbs on...

    Hello Gareth, I was up at Tiffin on Monday and saw your name on the board. We may want to consider making a new forum post for this direction of tree work. Glen would be the guy to really direct any serious questions with. As of now I believe he might be considered the expert on grapple saw tree...

    Glen it might be possible to bedazzle them? I tried to get Jason to get some spinning rims but that might have been over the top.

    You have to unbolt it to tip, not my favorite way, going to modify it and make it easier to remove and a little smaller profile. I have to give credit to my brother in law , who also runs the crane, he is working on a better design that will allow the boom and saw to be cradled for short distances.

    Yes it's a custom build but they are now finishing up their 4th one like this. It a pk33002 (33ton). So with this jib configuration it has 99 feet of hydraulic reach with the Mecanil grapple saw attached. If you take that off and use 3 manual extensions you would have 115' of reach. Understand...
