    Lakeside Work

    So it finally happened. I finally had a job where we obliterated someone's yard. In all my years I've never screwed up a yard so bad. We matted the turf, we caught every piece, we used the avant, we did everything we could. It still got ruts and damaged. 10 yards of soil and 40 lbs of seed...

    Syrup from the Twin Cities

    I read somewhere you can tap box elder. Anyone have experience with that?

    It went through today. I hope that's enough for him to just quit. It's a whole process to file those too. Learning so much from this.

    Bad Employee

    Holy crap. That's nuts. I've worked with tons of felons in my career, but none that were like this. And I really don't want to like bad mouth or anything. I really hope he stops and moves on so he can have a good life. I don't wish ill will at all. Haha. Thank you for the support.

    Bad Employee

    I'm exhausted, as is my wife. He took to social slandering us too. Honestly I hope he just stops and moves on. He must have serious torment inside him to keep perpetuating this. I hope he finds healing. I wish I could help him but there's no way with someone like this. I hate it.

    That's what my lawyer said. We're in limbo. Trying to get the restraining order finished. Minnesota has no self protection rights, so that's fun to be navigating. Lots of boom sticks and cameras. Need a fence and big fucking dogs.

    The cop that took the report said that they are likely going to press felony charges due to the graphic nature of how it all evolved. I'm hoping it all turns out ok at this point. Never dealt with this sort of thing before. It's bad enough I am taking time to be at home with my family

    Bad Employee

    I normally wouldn't do this, like at all. But I feel the need to warn some folks in Minnesota/Wisconsin as I know the guy will be applying to everyone. I hired Seth at the beginning of February. He worked a total of 6 days in three weeks. Over that time he broke numerous tools, damaged the...

    Mobile mini crane

    Good to know. Their mini cranes seemed heavier (and wider) than the hoeflon. But if I could get a grapple saw attachment... Lol

    Mobile mini crane

    See I've been trying to find a grapple saw one. Either they're ridiculously heavy or a couple million dollars, lol. A hoeflon c10 with a grapple saw head would be magnificent

    Leaving chips onsite

    I can't seem to hang on to chips. I get calls every week about giving chips away. Folks around here charge for them. As for dumping on site, I tend to target places with easy dump spots. Time is money. I don't want to bugger around with getting stuck or moving chips by hand. We are mostly...

    Any experience with Morbark's new BVR chippers?

    Are those the Dremel mounted ones??

    Any experience with Morbark's new BVR chippers?

    I've been hand filing them to dress them for years. Took time but like you said extends the life of them. A friend turned me on to those hand held jobbies (https://modernequipmentparts.com/500-0001-16-kit-knife-saver-complete/) and they seem to work fine. I figured even if it gets the bevelled...

    The Hoeflon C10

    Are there any licencing requirements to run this style of crane? I'm in love. Way more versatile than other options I've looked in to. It's a lot more compact than a Spyder crane. Pm'd you @oceans .

    Mobile mini crane

    Wow that things is super compact. If it can fit more places but I lose a little reach I think I'd be okay with that. What a beast. https://hoeflon.com/product/hoeflon-c10e

    Notch Ergo Climbers

    A few months into using these. I still really like them. I have big feet, so when I'm in winter boots my feet don't fit in the dual straps easily. Other than that they are wicked comfortable and intuitive. I don't have my feet falling asleep or any shin pain. I've worn them in my bogs (when I...

    Mobile mini crane

    I wonder what licensing you need for one. They look the size of a spider lift. A little wider so won't fit in all backyards but damn. Put in on the back of an f550 and have two extremely capable setups. Edit: 18k pounds is a bit heavy for an f550. But an f650 flat deck equipment hauler could.
