    I know he will get much faster at it, but the first job we did on Monday, I believe would have been faster with his 50 ton stick crane. That said, I don't think that crane would have gotten level where we had to set up. But it was a tall Oak with a good reach over the house. And over 110°...

    Yes he did. He's owned it for just two weeks now. The FB profile that he bought it from is David Treeman. I'm not sure if thats actually his last name.

    more fun with knucklebooms

    Try cropping your pictures a little, it's an extra step, but that works for me on my phone.

    Reputable chainsaw tuner

    I had a 261 modded by mastermind work saws. Awesome little saw that everyone liked running. Sadly a couple of years later it started melting pistons and the local saw shop couldn't figure out why. I'm certain Randy would have looked it over for me, but by that time the saw didn't owe me...

    A couple of easy setups for multiple easy trees today, followed by a tight setup for a single limb. The apartment complex chose not to have the parking spaces cleared that we needed, so we went up and over the three story building using a few spaces that happened to be empty.

    Fixing old arbortech toolboxes ( L pack style)

    Check your local fb marketplace. I've seen steel sheeting on there before for a discount. It may have surface rust, but it's not bad to clean up where you need to weld. You might find a welder there too for cheaper than list price. Since you're new to welding, avoid any galvanized steel...

    Tree related work you shouldn't need insurance for?

    There is plenty of risk while working on the ground. Felling trees, hangers falling while working near trees, property damage due to equipment, bodily injury while running equipment, and people are injured with log splitters quite often. I know of two injuries off hand involving operating a...

    I appreciate all input. I can definitely see using slings in the future on the wood. This is the second job he's used it on, so we'll probably do a couple of more jobs before sending a climber up. Just so that he can build muscle memory on the controls. I've used this operator for years...

    Mek'n a Pin Oak a small Ash today. My crane operator just got the truck last week, so he/we are still figuring out the ins and outs for efficiency.

    I did find the chainlink below it I was committed to the plan and already had the notch set before I found the chainlink, so I powered through it and now I have some filing ahead of me.

    Might need to sharpen this chainsaw. It took roughly 40 years to get all of the way through. A little nudge with the bobcat and it finished coming off. The homeowner said his uncle tried to pull the tree down when he owned the house. Obviously failed and they never removed the chain...

    Milwaukee telescoping polesaw

    I just picked this thing up, my first milwaukee power tool, and first impressions are great. I've only used it on one job and I believe it cuts faster than my stihl ht131 did. I originally planned to pick up the quick connect version of the saw and I found a video showing the performance...

    Milwaukee saw recall

    It says in that link to expect repairs in 7-10 business days. How do you all like that top handle? I run the 201 exclusively right now but I like trying new tools. I just picked up milwaukee's power pruner today. This is my first milwaukee tool and I am very impressed with its...

    Equipment Hauler

    This one is a 16' car hauler, it has a longer tounge than most (about 21' total length I think), which is nice for making sure it doesn't get hit by the grapple truck when jack knifing. Also the extra room for a 36 gallon diesel tank on the tounge is great as the mini only has a 7 gallon tank...

    Calling 811 - learned something this week

    My subcontractor now calls 811 for every stump grind. He started this after hitting a gas line with the grinder. So many utilities here are under tree stumps. Several years back we had a line of pine trees, probably around 15 of them, that every one of them was directly in line with the...

    Equipment Hauler

    A quick image of my trailer tonight. Some stuff is just thrown in, but you get the gist. Currently loaded up is 12 4X8mats, bobcat 100, bmg and scoops, bmg rake, shelving for saws climbing/rigging gear, polesaw and axe storage on the wall and a workbench with vise in the front for saw...

    Equipment Hauler

    I dont know how many mats you have, but my mt100 can handle 12 mats easily with forks. Going up and down ramps, you'll likely want to wrap them with a tie down strap or build a rack to have them in, to prevent the mats from sliding. Have you considered an enclosed trailer? I use an enclosed...

    Question for you Rebuild gurus

    If it wont come out fairly easily, try finding a solid dowel that will fit inside of the alignment sleeve snuggly. This should prevent deforming the shape of the sleeve if gripped with pliers.

    This sounds very similar to my crane operator. We typically run 14' nylon slings but otherwise the same. My op doesn't mind the boom in the brush a little as long as we are watching his LMI cable closely. He'll boom up and cable down for clearance once the pic is off.
