    Looking for fork storage on trailer ideas

    After pricing steel I’m gonna go the angle iron route and fab “pockets”. 5x2” 3/16” tube is just shy of $400.00 and more than I wanna spend. Angle and flat bar comes in around $250.00. And c-channel isn’t much cheaper than the tube.

    Looking for fork storage on trailer ideas

    Have you seen any accelerated salt corrosion with the channel? I’d think it would be a salt trap. I might go tube without holes and just squirt the bejesus out of it with fluid film every fall. Keep it debris free with a blow gun. Airspade lol, just giv’er.

    Looking for fork storage on trailer ideas

    That’s nice and simple! It’s just an everyday flat bed not deck over. I’ve got a pic over in the BMG rake storage thread. I’m probably going the tube steel welded underneath route. Full width with some kind of drainage/debris holes yet to be determined. And I really like the simplicity of that...

    Tell me about cottonwoods

    I’m partial to low pruning of cottonwoods 4-6” above the dirt seems about right. Makes for easier stump grinding.

    Equipment Hauler

    Put a hook lift on that rig chip box, spray rig, compressor air spade, all on easily swappable skids. Oh my! That cab over got me thinking.

    Equipment Hauler

    Yeah but all that room of the crew cab you could take out the seats and really customize the hell out of that. If you didn’t have a crew. Some shelves, full width slide out drawers, oh my! Weather tight and secure.

    $30k sounds like straight up rape to me. It’s not like it’s rocket surgery it’s just a flatbed on a cab chassis with tie downs. I would think $4k in materials at best and two weeks welding in your driveway. Don’t forget the welding blankets to protect your glass and paint.

    trees and spirits and stuff

    Only if they and I are on a peyote trip. Preferably in a sweat lodge with a spirit animal sitting in the corner waiting to take us on a journey when we start peaking.

    What's on your mind? TCI Magazine wants to know

    From a production standpoint I’ll stick with time consuming. Lol But your sentiment is basically my point as to why it’s a good thing to know. Knowing the simplicity of just a rope makes for a valuable skill no doubt.

    What's on your mind? TCI Magazine wants to know

    I’d bet Notch would lobby pretty hard against this. Personally I think every tree person should learn how to natty rig. Just like the taught line hitch and hip thrusting, outdated and time consuming but may save your bacon one day.

    Or maybe they had generational “wherewithal” of trial and error that was passed down from generation to generation. For example did you learn poison ivy will make you itch by touching it or did somebody older tell you to stay away from it because it will make you itch?

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    A secure footing is key. Maybe not so much permanent but heavy. Probably wouldn’t take more than a five gallon bucket of concrete for this apple. My father in law had a boxelder that had a prop, cradle style not thru bolt, that fell out in some wind events. He poured a footing and cemented it in.

    I think karma is an extension of the golden rule in a way. Not so much as a law of existence but a law of inherent kindness that is uniquely human. Most would rather be kind than not and some, well, not so much and that’s where karma gets used. Like that southern saying here “bless your heart “...

    trees and spirits and stuff

    I don’t know if trees have “spirits” but I do know they have a presence and age so maybe that is why people have an aversion to them. Idk. I will say I feel bad for removing a perfectly healthy tree for something stupid like an addition to a mansion. I can’t say cutting them is bad karma or not...
