    Crane slings

    We use the handshake or what we call the bridal with our chains on big wood day in day out and have never had an issue. I like it because its so quick to set and picks the wood with no tilt, it always worries me as I'm cabling up to get a piece off the cut and it is tilting and you are close to...

    Sena comm systems

    Unfortunately I think you must consider any of the current com systems as an ongoing expense. I try to keep spare units on hand.

    Anybody use a semi?

    If you are doing that kind of volume you are going to need a piece of equipment at your log yard to unload and sort material. I picked up an old good sized case track loader for $12k. It will pick up a 6k log spin 360 and place it in piles up to 20' high. I've been thinking about getting an old...

    Relatively small but dumb mistake(s)

    My Dad was a general contractor and was always making me do the shitty jobs, like digging up broken sewer lines etc. Anyways I was never allowed to use his beloved Stihl as it was too dangerous, until one day he had to remove a big limb about 20 feet up, so up the ladder I went. I got up there...

    Unicender ultimate load value?

    I don't think that would be a relevant number since the device slips way before it would ever break

    Sena comm systems

    We have linked 1 sena unit to 3 blueriders but it seems to be hit and miss so I wouldn't advise it if you need seem less come I know this is not the case but does anybody else notice that when Sherrill stole the senas from me they went to shit !! Kinda like Treestuff:LOL:

    Sena comm systems

    7 years or so ago the first batch of smh10 s that a hooked up lasted really well, so I decided to market them and was the only one selling them. Last year we had a lot of issues with them which prompted me to try the borrowers which are half the price. They too don't seem to be holding up great...

    Work Photos

    No I haven't tried that yet, sad to say but I rarely climb anymore. I make more money sitting in my crane... On another note Ropeteks future is looking a bit shaky as my best friend and machinist who makes all of our products is gravely ill. Doubtful I will be able to continue without him..

    Designing a chip box. Input appreciated

    On our truck we have 4 foot 45 degree sloped cap at front of bed then the other 14 foot is just a mesh tarp with pvc pipe structure. Takes a minute for one guy to pull off to load logs by crane. I will try to get pictures. Years ago I was going to have an aluminum bed made, wish I had....
