    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.

    Today....

    Thank you. Tracks vs wheels, I really liked the wheels although limited options in that category without bumping up to an articulating loader. I am excited for the speed and capacity increase from my old machine. I have 1/2" plywood that I've almost never needed with the vermeer, but I'm...

    Today....

    Many people saw them here locally. I've been so busy as of late I didn't know they were coming. Last night me and my wife went to bed early to get some sleep, all 3 kids were spending the night elsewhere and we often don't get an uninterrupted nights sleep.

    Today....

    Yes, I have several attachments for my vermeer already including a bmg. They only had the bobcat interface (attachment plate) available in stock. So they let me take it home as is for some home projects over the weekend, and I'll return it Monday to bolt the universal interface. Treasure box...

    Today....

    My "Today" got an upgrade for my skidsteer. Bought an old vermeer s600 6 years ago, finally tired of keeping it running and picked up a new mt100 wide track.

    Mini-skid pulling to one side in reverse

    Another piece of advice, lots of pics during disassembly, maybe even the occasional video of where things go. I've had "uh, where's that go?" Moments in the past that having a pic or video that shows it really helped out. Also, if your changing your drive motors, pay attention to torque...

    Mini-skid pulling to one side in reverse

    No experience with that mini, but building off of what @evo said, you could find somewhere that the connections are close together and swap left and right hoses instead of swapping motors. If the problem persist on the left then it'd be in the motor or track. If the problem jumped to the...

    Mobile app for creating invoices and proposals?

    I'm sure Jobber and quick books is popular for a reason, (I haven't tried them) but in demos they look very similar to what I use at a much higher rate. Clicking on the link above, jobber charges $170/month for the mid range plan where joist charges $140/year and maxes out at $310/year for...

    Mobile app for creating invoices and proposals?

    Joist is pretty easy, has/had a free version and accepting cc is as easy as clicking one button. Customer inputs their card for payment on their end. You can save line items "tree removal " "haul brush" then just click the needed items when building a quote, so no repeated typing

    Lets see some shit... Shitty tree work picks from other companies in your area.

    That was actually one of the partners that own the company.

    When you stop to talk to a new tree service, and they drop a trunk through the fence while your standing there.

    ChipBox ?s and/or suggestions.

    You could buy an older used chip truck for less than 27K and bolt the bed onto your truck. Chip bodies are a simple item, unless it's rusted away to nothing, I wouldn't be too concerned buying a used box/hoist and running it. What size box are you looking for? Frame length? I have...

    Recommended saw for spar work

    I was in the stihl dealer yesterday and he said the newer 261s come factory at .50 Mine is a couple of years old and came with .325. Haven't swapped it over yet, but have been considering it.

    Technique for climbing dead tree while TIP in another.

    If a tree doesn't feel safe to climb, I'll often set rigging lines and break out the crispy stuff first. Sometimes you can get the top out of it, but others you can clear the limbs that you would have to manage while your up there. Less shock and wobble on a stem to clear 2 foot stubs while...
