    Adjustable Crane Slings.

    That's a good idea, I might try that, or a wooden wedge would be easier to aquire. I do have them set in a loop before sending them up. Slide the loop open and drop it over the stem. Wrestling them around a big trunk at the end of the day is no fun. It only took one job to decide that...

    Adjustable Crane Slings.

    We had them made locally here. I'm sure they'd ship, but I imagine the freight wouldn't be cheap. The quote here is slightly different than pictured, it does not have the eye thimble shown. I had them add that after the original quote.

    Adjustable Crane Slings.

    Similar to @Lumberjack. We keep 2 eye to eye slings on the ball but often only use one. I use the CMI slick pin shackles easy on/off. For 36" diameter plus wood we switch to steel cable slings with sliding choker hooks. Not as easy to use as the nylon slings but it protects the eye to eyes...

    Need a new mechanical

    Yes, I posted those pictures back in 2020. I actually found that old post to screenshot and reshare them verses finding them on my phone. It is an aluminum rod, I picked it up from a Rural King. Bent it with a hammer and a vice. Two negatives to the mod. You do have to cut off a...

    Need a new mechanical

    I used an aluminum round rod and skateboard bearings. The captive bar also allows me to wrap the rope in either direction to repel SRT

    Need a new mechanical

    For straight bail outs off of the crane, I think terminating to the bridge is a non issue. I understand the issue with actually climbing on it. I use the Akimbo on a longer rope when my normal crane rope comes up short that has a zigzag on it. As for the uni, I don't have any off the...

    Which to choose? Compact utility tractor VS Mini Skid VS Gehl

    In terms of towing, im certain a dedicated towing adapter would be great, except for finding a storage spot for all of the times you're not using it. I've never had one. I use the BMG adapter. Over the years it's gotten a couple of modifications. Firstly, I noticed the square tubing...

    Large, uprooted doug-fir laying into another doug-fir... thoughts?

    It's wild to me how much species can change the weight of trees. Granted the diameter is larger here, but this short chunk of Oak was 6000lbs.

    Large, uprooted doug-fir laying into another doug-fir... thoughts?

    There are several ways to accomplish this and depending on factors of the jobsite and what tools are available determine which is best for that job. Multiple wraps as you mentioned does work well. And if you are deliberate about where to place the wraps to prevent crossing other wraps, you...

    Large, uprooted doug-fir laying into another doug-fir... thoughts?

    Just to make a point. Don't sacrifice the safety of using a crane in this instance because of the cost. Just add it into the quote and continue on. Typically we use the crane to do the untangling. Where your tree is making contact, tie it off to the standing tree then crane picks down to...

    New CMI Pulley

    Thanks for that reply and not defensive at all. I haven't seen it on socials so this is the only look at that I've had. The robust design screamed rigging to me, hence the question in rope diameter and consideration of efficiency for higher loads. I personally only doubled rope climb on...

    New CMI Pulley

    First impressions, it looks robust, but the sheeve diameter looks a little small. Does the sheeve size affect its efficiency? What is the max rope diameter? I imagine CMI is a great company to work with. I just contacted them this morning regarding my ropejack that I admitted to...

    Portawrap to rope

    At one point my 3/4 dead eye sling had broken. Until I replaced it I took a length of 1/2 true blue and doubled it. Do a girth hitch to the porty in the middle, then use both legs to do a timber hitch or cow hitch.
