    Thank You Axe! I really appreciate everyone being there and appreciate Eric and TC INC for letting me use his crane (it took me a while to get used to the newer controls but what a sweet rig. I'm just glad I didn't scratch it :) Had a great time hangin out and meeting everyone!

    Yeah too bad I couldn't bring the 1750. I'll be over there today. Maybe take some time and get used to the 655! Sounds like tree buzz fest at Eric's!

    Sad day tomorrow..

    Yeah Mark that is sad. I've got a tree here with the same story only it's a Macrocarpa. It's still doing well though so the story is happy for now:) but have removed about a hundred centurions this winter......sad but not as sad as the 250-300 yr old oak of yours! Would be interesting to count...

    evergreen selection advise

    My vote is Calocedrus decurrens (California Incense Cedar) as long as you're in USDA zone 5b or higher. I have planted the only ones known in IL (I imagine others have them tucked away but Ive checked with curators at nearby arboretums) a beautiful fast grower....I think spring grove has a...

    A Bad Day at Boutte Tree, Inc.

    Sorry to hear about this Tierson. Must be a terrible thing to go through. The only positives are NO ONE GOT HURT!, lots of people will learn from your post, and sounds like the crane wasn't totaled. I've worked with you a day or two.....so I know you are very safety minded. It only takes one...

    Mini skid

    Just my 2 cents......been running toro dingos since 2005.......NO ISSUES.....ever. The controls are precise (my 11 yr old runs them through gates with only an inch or two on each side.....like a boss.) they're light which helps since mine ride on the chippers. I do like the others though.

    My new crane finally arrived! :-)

    Yeah Jeff, I'm thinking the same thing.......I have to pay to dump logs like that! Wow Cam 500$ sounds great to me especially looking at the lg column of decay at the base. Glad you're lovin' your crane.....that's the most important thing :)

    Crane misuse!

    No way......all climbing done on a single buckstrap.......and lg sections rigged and let bomb drop.......boom dangerously deflecting etc. Sounds like a company that needs to be shut down! Did I read that right?........40 fractures to the face? WOW......
