    Cranes when you do not need them?

    [ QUOTE ] At $1400 per day with travel time and set up does a crane rental really increase your bottom line? [/ QUOTE ] Yes, sometimes by not a huge margin due to the rental fee. This will depend on your work schedule for that day and how skilled the crane op and cutter are. When renting...

    Cranes when you do not need them?

    I plan using my kboom frequently on nearly every tree that would otherwise have to be rigged, even when it's not needed per say. Why? Efficiency. I've done that when I've rented too. If you can't keep up with the work load it's one of the most effective ways to stay on track and increase your...

    Kboom unloading logs from flat bed

    One of the many reasons for purchasing a kboom is to become more efficient. To get more done with one less truck(log truck) and one less employee/driver. I see some of you mention I should run a seperate truck for logs. I dont feel that is necessary unless I need extra hauling capacity and in...
