    Grapplesaw Heads

    A valve in the grapple gets pressurized oil from an accumulator in the grapple and back feeds it through a single port in the rotator.

    Grapplesaw Heads

    I had a SG280 G2 on my 2017 PK40, I bought a 035 back in 2014-2015, and I bought a 050 in January of this year. I want to make a hanger for my 050 to mount on my rotating telehandler. If the situation presented itself I’d be game for a TTC 035 or 050 for it. I don’t really want another Mecanil.

    Grapplesaw Heads

    They dampen above the limit of their torque holding ability. A snubber on a skidded uses the same kinda pack with adjustable preload on the pack. For a grapple saw you'd have to pick the amount of torque you want, what works on a large long log would be way too much for a smaller limb and...

    Grapplesaw Heads

    I think you need the snubbers to be selective, free swinging at times, tight other times... like the TTC. Isn't the way the snubber pins and TTC works basically the same, a friction stack that has either springs or hydraulics to apply pressure to the stack to reduce the swing? The Mecanil has...

    2023 nifty lift sd64 4x4x4

    This engine was 33hp, his will be ~25hp. Theoretically the same hill climbing ability, but the lesser hp will climb more slowly. 3.5 minutes in or so

    Software - client management question

    Each named customer gets its own profile, the property may be listed under multiple names. If we needed to track the work we'd done at an address (PHC, for instance), I'd make a note to refer to the other customer profile.

    Refusing irresponsible tree work

    Unless I'm missing some legality aspect, someone removing a tree on their property isn't irresponsible, it's their purview over their domain. A tree over a a house is assuredly a risk to the house, to say otherwise in a professional setting is interesting. Just last week we had a $15k...

    Want to buy comms!...

    For jobsite coms we use Sena Mesh in helmets and headsets, maybe 12 sets in total. For longer range we use GMRS radios. They require a license but it’s just paperwork and money, no test, minimal hassle. Hand held and we’ll be adding them to the trucks and some equipment, mainly for...

    Business App for tree service

    We've used Jobber for the last 11 years. It's not perfect, but grandfathered in at $39/month... it's hard to beat. I wish we could turn off scheduling. I wish internal request notes were by default only on the request instead of linked to everything forever. I wish there was an "in...

    working through poor air quality

    If it’s unpleasant/distracting/a problem, we wouldn’t work and would wait for it to pass. Just like the heat, rain, etc.

    Adjustable Crane Slings.

    The 63 year old was a solid second behind on this pick taking 7 seconds to remove it from the pick. I haven't looked at the other clips from this job, but I didn't see a pick that took longer than 10 seconds to unhook the sling from.

    Adjustable Crane Slings.

    I have a Lariat. This was the first pick I found on my computer, from a job this past Monday.... from the time he reached the sling until it was loose was 6 seconds...

    Adjustable Crane Slings.

    $3k for rope slings with prussik adjusters seems like I’m missing something. We do most of our tree picks with a single choker, sometimes two. Friday we used 3 for the first time in forever getting a broken top and a tree off a house.

    Small Jobs

    That is unfortunate… it’ll also be you if you don’t take care of yourself. A bid from yesterday, $700 minimum to clear the driveway leaving the debris adjacent on site. The bid took longer than doing the job would have took. Didn’t get the bid, but no one else had either as of our deadline...

    Shop, garage, parking, etc.

    Here’s the dirt work mostly done, working on getting 20-30 loads of millings delivered, it’ll be crushed limestone under the slab and possibly on top of the millings.

    Shop, garage, parking, etc.

    We have one bit of business to get handled then we're building a shop and covered parking for everything, the dirt work is mostly done. The recycling yard is the next hill over. All in we'll spend probably 3-6 months revenue between the land and building before it's all said and done.
