    Can anyone become a safe effective climber?

    One thing you didn't mention is if he wants to climb. If he does, I'd have a talk with him about the short comings that you see and why that concerns you. He can't better himself in those areas without being made aware of the issue.

    Green tracks

    Can you link two mats together to prevent the slipping? Depending on your soil conditions you may be able to stake the mats down. I've done this with tent stakes for a mini skid. The stakes held well in clay. Soft topsoil and they didn't have enough holding power

    Stihl Clone Saws???

    I looked into those saws once, more out of curiosity than anything, and saw on their website saw that a complete saw being shipped by them might be confiscated by customs and if so, you were out of a saw and the money you paid. Seemed kinda risky for a saw with known cheap parts that you end...

    A no dangle grapple

    I like the klou. However, I was originally thinking something along the line of these I thought these might be better for cleaning up homeowner brush piles, or trees that are brushed out without cleaning up as we go. This happens fairly often with a grapple loader truck, as you don't have to...

    A no dangle grapple

    Dragon and bear hug is simply rotated 90°? Does it use a locking pin to hold it there or is that a hydraulic function? I like the ready to use towing adapter.

    A no dangle grapple

    There are old threads on here but nothing has been added to them in recent years pertaining a preferred mini skid grapple. I currently have a knock around bmg and I do like it, however after owning it 5-6 years I am wondering about buying a different style to compliment it. The BMG is great...

    teupen tc69a hydro fluid

    Posting for a friend, but he's looking to change the hydro filter after some erratic behavior from the lift. The lift was working correctly and suddenly started doing 2-3 movements when he only called for one. Many suggestions on what could possibly be the problem, stuck solenoids...

    Yes sir. You know your in for a day when you bury a 36" bar to cut off a limb and have to finish it off from the other side

    Large crispy pin oak removal. Glad to have this one done. You can see my buddy back behind the stump for scale, hes standing about 6 feet back after finishing the backcut. The Ryan's grapple on his articulating loader wouldn't open enough to grab the rounds.

    Replace this rope?

    Echoing everyone else on replacement if it gives you peace of mind. Honestly though I'd probably climb on that unless I could see something else on an in person inspection. A cheaper (free) option if you climb srt on it, tie an alpine butterfly with the damage in the loop and make that side...

    Dirty Graphix

    In addition to the above, my only real complaint so far is the fuel tank. A slight nuisance is that the tank is located under the hood. This makes fueling a little less convenient than the s600 was with its external tanks. Also it only has 7 gallon capacity. If it's used hard throughout...

    Dirty Graphix

    So far it's been great. I had a vermeer s600 before this. It's a big step up in capacity and traction. I always thought traction wasn't a big deal since you don't need a lot when lifting/carrying items vs digging. However with the bobcat I can move the bulk of front yard trees with the...

    Dirty Graphix

    Has anyone used any other companies vinyl wrap for equipment that consistently has brush drag across it? How does it hold up? It's not a big investment to have this done, but I'd rather not waste the time/money if half of its going to get scratched off right away.

    Saddle setup (picture thread)

    Just a thought here if you decide the XL is to big. You can take a small piece of cordage or throw line, make a loop and girth it to the 3/4 sling. Then use the loop to clip to a smaller transporter/caritool on your harness. A small enough loop won't interfere with normal use, and could...

    Dirty Graphix

    I have a new bobcat mt100 with only 40 hrs that is already seeing quite a bit of damage to the decals. It's not really an issue but I'd like to keep the machine looking nice without replacing decals monthly. I ran across this business online. Has anyone used them for a vinyl wrap on...

    rip cuts to reduce rigging forces

    No. I bought this one off of fb market place. Welded a mini skid plate to it and replaced the steel with synthetic winch line.

    rip cuts to reduce rigging forces

    I also have a hydro winch for the mini, but I definitely get what your saying. Typically the winch is used for pulling and not lifting.

    rip cuts to reduce rigging forces

    Probably the same here. I've wanted a grcs in the past, but it so easy to do everything that it does on the mini skid bollard. Maybe the grcs could lift more than I'd want to put on my branch manager grapple, but around here there often isn't enough room to lay something of that size down...

    Saw preference?

    For me, I start with a modded 261 with an 18" bar then switch up to a 500i with either a 25" or 36" as needed.

    Balancing long limbs parallel to ground (crane slings)

    Take an extra 5 mins on the job and after a piece is down, adjust the slings and re-lift. See where the slings should have been for a balanced pick and adjust for the next one.
