    Where to put your lanyard when negative rigging?

    I'm always tied in above my rigging point.

    Gerasimek's Tree-mek

    Something to mention is that these larger knucklebooms are a dime a dozen in Europe. One can save a chunk of money with buying the right used crane direct from overseas. This may be to risky for some but for others it could mean a large jump up in crane size and for less money. The euro to...

    18,000 lbs. This is with a 13k push axle in front of the tandems.

    Gerasimek's Tree-mek

    When reaching over the front I will only lose about 10'. When off to the side of course you lose none. What you can gain is a 16' dump box. Each owners market is different. For me I liked the idea of dropping the chunks of wood that are cut by the grapple saw straight into the dump bed. With the...

    Thanks. It's a pushable steer axle. The vertical reach is approximately 115'. Tiffin is doing all the fab work, but I bought the truck and crane elsewhere. I'm in PA.

    I'm going with a standard mount along with a dump bed. The crane is a Palfinger pk72002. The setback with a crane this size is a need for an extra axle under the crane to keep the front axle from being overloaded. Another setback is the need for a longer wheelbase for stability.

    Royce, I may have felt the same way as you about building a crane truck around the grapple saw. I decided to go bigger on the crane capacity in order to feel more confident if I'd want to use the hook for bigger leads. I may find out it was unnecessary. It has been pointed out that big trees...

    The great thing is you can just detach the grapple if it may hold up production, then proceed with the hook. Options are nice.

    I've also purchased a Palfinger that is waiting to be built with the grapple saw. In my opinion, no specific setup will always the fastest, but the grapple will be most of the time. For me anyway, it brings a different strategy to the table for handling tree work and that is appealing. There's...

    What to do with Black Walnut logs

    If your 30" black walnut is say a 16 footer you would have approximately 675 board feet. 1500 divided by 675 gives you $2.22 per board foot. For my area that's in the ballpark. That's if it's not Veneer quality. You may already know this but to start with Veneer you can't have any branches...

    What to do with Black Walnut logs

    Also, as I was informed by my buyer, veneer almost ALWAYS only goes to the butt log. So if you think it may be veneer quality don't cut it.

    What to do with Black Walnut logs

    I just sold 2200 board foot of black walnut here in PA. I got between $2-$3 dollars a board foot depending. Sold one veneer log at $5 board foot. Veneer buyer told me that once a black walnut veneer log goes over 28 inches it can be sold to make solid counter tops and he will pay upwards of $10...

    Woodsman chipper troubles

    I have a woodsman 18x, I would almost guarantee your drive belt is slipping and needs tightened. Take some chalk and mark your belt then the side of the pulley with a connected line. Then start it up and give it a real good heavy bump to engage. Shut it off and re check your lines.
