    Whats the best wireless walkie talkie for crane use?

    Peltor power com's . Rugged, reliable, use 2 aa batteries. We use rechargeables and get 2 days to a charge. Vox activated so the crane op only hears the important stuff and vice versa. As a crane opp I cant stand listening to a climber huff and puff climbing threw a canopy like you get with...

    Solid Waste Grapple needed

    I just got a ts33 and put a prentice pulp grapple on it, I was able to rig it for 360 degree rotation, having 33' of reach is awesome especially being able to pick logs infront of the truck,, it will lift 5k all day long but it is just plain slow, smooth and precise,, but slow

    mini skidsteer show off

    [ QUOTE ] Our Vermeer 600 has been a great investment: - BMG drags brush and lift logs - stump grinder attachment avoids trips with another machine - bucket can haul rakings, stump grindings or snow - forks load or unload stuff - auger is great for planting Here is a pic of the machine in the...

    mini skidsteer show off

    I like the look of the mini articulating loaders but I feel I would just get a Kubota 420 or 520 before going that rout. I have run a r520 loading 12' 32'' pine logs and the lifting capacity is awesome. not bad on turf and I bet a set of turf tires would make it better, but they weigh triple...

    Cranes when you do not need them?

    [ QUOTE ] Lifting trusses by hand is awkward. That is a crane job. Trees often can be loaded straight from above with a gravity assist. Yet people would still break out the crane because they can and charge extra for the show. That's basically irresponsible. More property damage, traffic issues...

    Crane guys please educate me

    there is no comparison in a 70' bucket and a 70' crane. that crane has enough chart to take a 40' piece of a 100' pine as long as the butt is heavy enough so it don't roll. depending on your work area a more maneuverable crane just may be the key. where huge rigs just cant access. I agree 70' is...

    I have the same 28' 70' boom on a older grove td522 and while it is very useable, we have to put the 23' jib on most jobs giving about 100' including truck height. I cant wait for 120'+ of full hydro. there are some respectable boom trucks out there with more reach for not much more dough.than...

    Hoisting License

    The least anyone who is driving heavy truck, running a crane, and probably flying climbers, can do is get a dot physical. any one who does not is probably afraid of not passing.
