Steve I suck at sales too. I used to tell every climber at tcia shows that the worst thing about a wraptor is you don't get to inspect the tree as you ascend . Stupid to offer negatives to your product but I like you want to be honest. Bottom line though is if you get slow you have to sell so...
@rico so I've been off of antibiotics for a couple maybe 3 weeks. Whilst on them I actually felt pretty good. Feel like my head got clearer and was able to really pick up my speed on the race track on my motorcycle because of a clearer mind. Anyways I started taking the cocktail and instantly...
Don't talk about how stick cranes can take bigger pics. Idiot business owners will see that as quicker which they equate to more money. Stick to telling why your rig is better and safer, quick setup which means less down time. Easier on driveways etc
Sell your crane not others
One problem I encountered with hard coat is when it does eventually wear through the softer aluminum will erode quickly and leave a knife edge off hard coat that will destroy a rope
I don't have access to 1" steel plates which IMO would be somewhat unwieldy however I think Im going to mill some 6' 4x12" white oak timbers , 3 per outrigger.. We currently use 3" thick 3'x4' oak pads but as you saw they didn't hold up. I really think if we had some cribbing on it to spread...
I got a quote for a contenental belt and it was $1500 and that was from an industrial belt co.
Carlton are supposed to call back tomorrow....
Crazy money for a freaking belt!
Just bought a big 140 hp stump grinder, first stump I broke the belt. It's a polychain belt and they are quoting me over $1500 for it!!!
Anybody have any alternative solutions?? Maybe new pulleys and regular v belts??
Mr Moore have you ever tried Valium? They are great!
We were discussing how we could go about trying to prevent this in the future and came up with an interesting idea, water devining, you know with 2 metal rods. We are going to go back to site and see if it detects the tank. We discussed this...
I really don't. Even consider legality with these things. Too me it just seemed to make sense to offer to pay. We did 2 big oaks and I will be grinding stumps for $6100. I'm guessing as there is going to be an excavator on site as they are digging a foundation for an addition the cost will be...
Steve ,you have known me long enough to know I can't speak lawyerese so no I didn't have anything signed. He was cool about it, I'll foot the bill and consider myself freaking lucky!
Good question. I really don't know. The tank was at least 2' deep, maybe a probe but then you might be just hitting rocks? I really don't know. This was a disused tank so that was lucky, just have to pay to fill it. I can't believe the crane didn't go over. As stated I boomed and cabled down as...
When the mat started cracking I had that 4000# log right over the house, I revved her up and swung and cabled and boomed down as the crane started to go over. Still can't believe she didn't flip.......
