Well I squatted in them and heard a pop in the crotch, but dont see any damage. Gonna call treestuff tomorrow and see if they can rush me new ones along with an order I need to put in anyway and I'll send mine back. I so like them though.
I just bought a pair of these pants, in my size and there a bit snug, anyone known if they stretch? I feel like if I go up to the large, they'll be. Anit loose and I don't really want too loose, like jeans. They don't feel terrible, my ass looks great. Lol, but they are just a HAIR snug. I...
I've been trying to look into using some of my VA financing options but it's always a run around with them. I definitely agree with machines paying for themselves quickly we paid off our chipper and two and a half months and have our dump trailer paid off quite quickly too
We have a sort of arbor trolley. I wanted the trolley and my partners wife found a cheap knock off on Amazon, then he spent $150 on welding it into a more durable device, and upgraded tires. It works great, but you're still picking up heavy logs onto it and having to sometimes take 2 guys to...
I've got a little experience with the Toro mini when I worked with another tree company several years ago and it was awesome and that had the grapple on it which we used for brush and picking up logs
If you have a mini available for rent, you can buy a BMG (with tow hitch) for $3K, and rent a mini until you can buy one. The clam shells are on my 'to-buy' list. High side of a grand, I think.
Forgive my stupidity or brain fart but what's a BMG
Great input from all. Hadn't thought about mini first, really never even prices out a good used or new one. I do know I'm spentbfrom picking up a ton of Apple logs today, that shit is heavy, mini would have been sweet and saved a ton of time, on this job though, utveould have destroyed the...
Selling an excellent condition with little use, Hitch Hiker 2 with holster as well as a ZK1 Rope Wrench with tether. Partner tried both and hated the wrench didn't mind the Hiker, but tried my Rope Runner and we just bought one for him
Hitch Hiker-$110 shipped to lower 48
Zk1- $50 shipped to...
Will you take $250, or am I being a low baller. I know what they cost, but like you said, it's collecting dust. My partner, who doesn't climb nearly the amount I do, tried mine and loves it. He tried the rope wrench and didn't like it, never could get it to work right.
I have one already, let my partner use it the other day, he's hooked, but doesn't climb nearly as much as I do so Hoping to get a bit of a deal on one, if not.... hmm
I've wanted to add cabling as well, but pretty much just dynamic cabling as ice read that's all they do in Europe. Seen a faster and better, less complicated
Find a timber framers or 2, I work for one now, and he buys logs, then pays to mill them into beams, posts, trusses, etc..
More money there than in boards maybe?
That number of funding a decent bucket truck for $100,000 seems way off. No way you'd need to spend near that to get a good, lasting machine., you live in Hawaii?
Yeah, I can climb. Lol. It's all I do. Lol. I've worked with a bucket truck a few times, loved it, as well as a crane several times, but never a track lift. My partner and I had a good discussion about it tonight, the lift seem nice, and I can sure see the up side, but cost wise, right...
First I would love to be able to buy a mini but I want to get either a track lift or a bucket truck first. I have thought about the worry of whoever I would hire to do the cleanup not doing a good enough job because we do a very very good job right now. Yes we are a Business Partnership that...
