    Kubota SCL1000

    In May I paid $42,911 after tax for the mt100. Wide track and I paid extra for the universal interface to use the attachments that I already had. Those two options adds a little over $3,000 to the price. USD

    Kubota SCL1000

    It was one of the few times I wasn't personally running it. The operator who was is respectful of loader but not as smooth as I am. He's used to his vermeer articulating loader. So I don't think it was anything operator related. All that said, we were doing storm work where the homeowner...

    Kubota SCL1000

    I've have had the mt100 since May of last year and have about 300 hrs on it. To date the only issues I've had has been a thrown track, which really isn't too hard to put back on if you have the tools available and just yesterday we had our first breakdown. Lost all power to the drive controls...

    Chainsaw Shopping

    I'm in the market for a new 261, mine has melted it's piston a couple of times now and the local shop is scratching its head as to why. Does your local guy ship, and do you have contact info? I'd be interested to call for pricing and lead time.

    Most winters it's more mud here than snow. This winter it is ice. A couple of weeks ago we had a big ice storm which caused tree limbs to snap all around you while standing outside and trees to uproot. So even though its single digits, it's time to hustle and work into the dark to make up for...

    BMG Grapple Rake mounting ideas

    That looks much more secure than mine and is probably the better option for exterior storage.

    BMG Grapple Rake mounting ideas

    No modifications to the rake. I just cut a section out of the angle iron, then scored the two sides with an angle grinder. Hammered the two pins up then rewelded the scored corners for strength

    BMG Grapple Rake mounting ideas

    This is what my new storage is currently looking like in the enclosed trailer. It seems to ride on here just fine, however I do plan on adding an anchor point to the wall with a spliced piece of cordage as a backup. The hanger bracket is made from 3/8" thick angle iron.

    Back up camera?

    I can't think of the brand, but I did wireless on one truck, the signal was a little spotty with the occasional glitch in the image due to the distance and the steel in the truck. Worked pretty well though. My grapple truck is longer and has more steel than the bucket truck I referred to...

    Wisdom regarding using a lift to dismantle a pin oak

    Absolutely. Even with equipment, so many grabby bits sometimes every grapple full grabs too much for loading. Sometimes it seems like pin Oaks are the only Oaks we work with around here.

    Wisdom regarding using a lift to dismantle a pin oak

    That depends on what else your working with. If cut and stacked into a pile, I could have that tree loaded, raked and leaf blowed in about an hour; solo. It typically takes me 30 mins to fill my 50 cuyd grapple truck, then another 30 to rake, blow and finish loading that smaller debris.

    Electric saws with cold bar oil in winter

    I don't typically do much saw cleaning, I knock out my air filter routinely on jobsites and replace air and fuel filters as needed. I am currently setting up my new job trailer that will have a generator and air compressor. Hoping to build the habit of cleaning my saws out better and more often.

    Electric saws with cold bar oil in winter

    Side bar. I've been using canola for a while. My 261 burned up and the shop basically blamed the bar oil. So much hardened oil around the components increasing the load on the motor. It is the first time the canola has been an issue and I did explain that the saw sat for a couple of...

    Haul-back line for remote rigging point.

    We typically just clip the end of the climb line to the rigging rope. It doesn't see a load as the rigging rope runs through the carabiner. If swinging pieces to the left, drape your rope to the right of the limb your on to prevent tangling.

    Need innovative idea for spiraling Christmas lights in taller trees

    Would keeping the light strands in a canvas lineman bucket or rope bag help? You could hang the bag while you maneuver to reduce the downward weight pulling on your wraps. Also perhaps a lightweight board with some cup hooks would help temporarily hold things in place? The red hooks facing...

    Wisdom regarding using a lift to dismantle a pin oak

    Either suggestion above will help you get going. If you choose to climb, I'd go through and do most if not all of the easier limbs to maximize the rental later. I'd aim for a central main rigging point with a redirect towards the driveway and the lift on the opposite side of the trunk. All...

    Heavy leaner needs to come down sideways.

    Full disclosure, I cheated. :LOL: it looked familiar and I was inclined to agree with mulberry until I looked at the structure of the tree. I've never seen a mulberry with the limbs not all twisted up and interlocked with each other. I ran it through an ID app that suggested box elder...

    Heavy leaner needs to come down sideways.

    I think that may be a boxelder. It looks bigger than they normally get here. You can confirm by cutting a couple of limbs. There will be red streaks in the grain. Or if your neighbor remembers from cleaning up the other half. Brittle wood with pretty weak hinge. I'd try not to fell one leaning...
