    Moss Cinching Lanyard prototype

    Did you cook him up some good ol tree climber soup? That throw bag launcher bungee isn’t overly chewy if you cook it long enough. :)

    That is what this Yankee remembers as well, right-cheer.

    Copy. Well, for what it’s worth, a little birdy just told me Mec is releasing their own version of clutch brake pins in a few months. Might wait to pull the trigger until I see what they come up with. As my first crane isn’t huge, I will likely go with the lighter offering of the 2 brands.

    Does Reed even climb trees anymore?

    So it sounds like the rotator has a dedicated case drain port?

    Grapplesaw Heads

    That’s really good to know. I’m working on a build of my own and have always had a place in my mind for the GMT TTC. Donyou know specifically what it takes to engage those clutches? Independant circuit or solenoid diverter?

    Grapplesaw Heads

    It makes sense that a snubber setting wouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all kinda thing. I was more thinking an overall dampening and not really full lockout like the GMT. I can’t say what I like better about a Mecanil, I was just saying I like things about both of them. This is only based on...

    Moss Cinching Lanyard prototype

    Yeah, but @moss is figgin LOADED! He also uses 2 feet. One with a foot ascender and the second foot “poor man”. His way gets both feet engaged.

    To my understanding, yes, the TTC has hydraulic clutches that lock both dangle pins in place, but don’t know if they allow dampened movement. There are things I like about both GMT and Mecanil but it seems like over 90% of saw trucks are running the Mec.

    Grapplesaw Heads

    Years Ago I was doing a lot of work on the forestry side of things, and I remember the nicer grapple skidders had “snubbers” on the 2 link pins above the rotator. When properly tightened, the grapple swinging movement was much more dampened when empty and riding over rough terrain. I could only...

    Today....

    Did that give you pause when you started making the face cut and discovered how soft it was inside? That orca looks huge, but I don’t really know enough about them to imagine its size based on a pic.

    I see this in Eastern Red Cedar fairly often, but it’s still odd “looking”…

    That should be a fun one. Looks quite crispy. Room to flop out individual pieces?

    I really want to get some kettle bells too. The Stihl tool on the floor keeps it real.

    See, this is what I’m talking about. No retirement in sight! If you think of it, please tell the man I say hello.

    Love it! Thanks for the assist, Muggs. I could listen to those cats for days man.

    I have no idea how old I am, but definitely was born in 1974! Haha! I think the idea of retirement faded out in direct proportion to understanding what it meant and how to get there. Retirement age would likely be when nature plays a hand I can’t counter. Don’t want to wish anything upon myself...

    I still have to think it’s a blessing to be able to earn money doing what we do. If AI takes over, our “industry” seems like the last one it could ever impact, and we’re inherently outdoors. Not a terrible wheel to be yolked to.

    It’s a good find. Going in circles no less. Who fills in the walking path so they don’t form a trench too deep?

    This leans to the indie subcontractor model I do with a couple handfuls of arbs around here. We’re all coexisting and collaborating rather than “competing”.
