    It is WAY pumped up for tv. I spent 31/2 years in the logwoods right out of highschool as a cutter. Most of it is factual just a little exaggerated. Like yes you are losing money when a truck gets stuck but it happens on a regular basis. It's one of the things that happens. Now when you can see...

    I agree grease it at least everyday!!!! MUST Grease every 4-5 hrs of use is the spec. I run a 1250 vermeer with 1200 hrs on it and the only trouble I've had in the year that I've had was the feed roller bushings were wore when I bought it because no grease. I keep a dedicated grease gun on...

    I would be in the same boat Tyler. If it's that close is it a big deal? Depends on who you ask. I I do have a problem with those super easy open snaps. Just too easy to open But I admit they look relly nice just if they had a better locking mechanism which from what I hear they are coming out...

    Get a small branch and use hand pruners to make the cuts. Just an idea.

    Pre-tree career

    I appenticed in the summer electrical and did fire wood in highschool. After I got out I ended up getting a logging job as a cutter. 3 1/2+ years of that until the economy when south and mills weren't buying. By that time I'd learned to climb (by a super lucky coincident) and had been doing...

    I won't be able to do anything this weekend. I'm swapping motors in my honda. Finally it gave up one cylinder. I got it cheap and it needed a new motor when I bought it. Got 12,000 miles out of it though. Keep me posted though.

    Has anyone done this before?

    Holly that IS a fish tail but not what I was talking about. What I'm calling a fish tail is when the log hits something (the stump in this case) or a hump in the land or edge of a hill and kind of does a teeter totter pivoting on that point and either flipping up and or to the side. You really...

    So I was all discombobulated! I agree THAT colt 45 is much more fitting to a TCC! I didn't mean to scare anyone. I thought we were talking about actual 45 cal. colt. In these parts we joke like that all the time. I will just bring my biceps! By the way only criminals or law...

    A true story

    Re: A true (pitch) story Agreed, If I bought the company selling that truck would be one of the first things I'd do. It would be cool to have a pickup like that but not practical in my opinion.
