    Mobile mini crane

    Has anyone had experience with tracked mini cranes, like the Spyder crane? 87' max height and 13k lift capacity is nothing to scoff at.

    Any experience with Morbark's new BVR chippers?

    Interesting. No idea. We were in a terrible time crunch when we bought the new chipper so I didn't pay much note. I only know it's got 4 because I run a knife saver daily.

    Any experience with Morbark's new BVR chippers?

    I just bought a bvr 13. It's bad ass. The auto clutch it's so easy. It has the same engine as my other chipper, 4.3l gasser. Easy to dump the feed tray and check the knives. Mine has 4 knives, not sure where the 2 knives comes in. We feed it with the avant and have no complaints outside of the...

    CTSP questions

    Bad ass. For the most part the books outline what you need pretty well. I did mine online, a long webinar with a test at the end. Totally worth it.

    CTSP questions

    When you register for the class they send you a packet that has most things you need, as well as a supplemental list of books for it. You need to understand what the purpose of a CTSP is if you're getting it for your employer. The purpose is to build the applicant into a trainer and motivated...

    Avant 528 vs cast 33d

    I saved his number. If all goes well we'd need another machine next year.

    Avant 528 vs cast 33d

    You're just a good guy to know then, and you're in Minnesota?? Gangster. We'll have to plan a meet up sometime! I didn't think about reaching out to BM about demos. The bobcat dealer was on it with demos, paperwork, delivery, and anything related to service. With our timeline I figured go for...

    Avant 528 vs cast 33d

    I bought an avant 755i. I figured since we're out in the woods more bigger is better. Glad we went that route.

    Field Computers/Tablets

    We upgraded to ArboGold this year. It's a wonderful product with a ton of features, but some of the mobile app features are limited. I'm not the most tech savvy, so my wife is helping me implement the system. One thing she mentioned is the app doesn't have the full management capability the...

    Avant 528 vs cast 33d

    I really had to see it to believe it. You see specs and you think, okay sure. It's amazing what they can do. Thank y'all for your advice in this!!

    Avant 528 vs cast 33d

    My thoughts exactly. The extendo boom came in handy today pulling logs off the edge of a driveway.

    Avant 528 vs cast 33d

    I did a lot of digging and calling. Our avant dealer was able to do a demo on a 528 and has stellar service and a field service division. We got a 755i with lots of attachments. We figured one common thing with our tractor has been low capacity. This thing lifts everything now. And it's high...

    International Work-Cation

    No kidding?? Japan is bucket list for us too. Idk why I thought they were super rigid on things like this. Cherry blossom bloom time is something I hope to see.

    International Work-Cation

    @27RMT0N your last point hits home. I don't pay cash as it is too much liability long term. Most legit companies wouldn't float that idea, and I want to work with quality folks if I did do it.. As @Boomslang @Mick Dempsey! and @evo stated, it'd make more sense to just have it be a vacation. I...

    International Work-Cation

    We'd be looking at a month or two, probably a mix of work and pleasure, although trees and gardens are our hobbies. Interesting about the ISA thing. Does each country have their own cert program? I'm most familiar with the UK system outside of the USA. Visa does seem to be the biggest...
