    What the Bleep do we know about crane work?

    Yeah we could use something like that. Funny when my son was 6 he said "When I grow up my truck is gonna have 2 nuck-o-booms.....one with a grapple...and one with a saw!"

    What the Bleep do we know about crane work?

    Mangoes how are Ya'? Didn't you tell us a few years ago that they had a few major accidents with that. Kinshoffer made a tilting grapple saw about 8-9 yrs ago and had to pull it from the market after lots of accidents.

    Tie into Load Line:OSHA Regs

    Saving on climber fatigue should be somehow considered too. On some picks it's faster and easier to climb out on stems and rig the pick but some take a lot of energy to climb and rig.You don't want a tired climber wielding a 36 inch saw in the tree = hazardous.

    What the Bleep do we know about crane work?

    I looked at these years ago. People in Scandinavia tell me they slow compared to making lg picks with a climber. (due to small sized picks) But great for smaller trees that are to dead to climb. They said the saw alone is fast for cut and drop situations. (liked the classic star wars reference :)

    Roadmaster 9000 demo. today

    Yep! congrat's Cameron! The wide footprint takes a huge percent of pressure off the foot. And because they swing you can move them around obstacles a bit. What does it weigh fully dressed with counterweights compared to the 4100? BEAUTIFUL RIG!

    1/3 rule

    Even better when there is a lateral 1/2 - 3/4 to cut back to (any bigger and I guess it's more of a thinning cut. :)

    tree splits below climber while climber tops tree

    Re: tree splits below climber while climber tops t Very sad. I wonder was the trunk being blocked in lg lengths or was a lg top being dropped, or a defect/ split in trunk? Some defects might not have obvious visual indicators?

    A few buzzers asked to see some vid of the kbooms. Nothing too fancy. Only one HD with helmet cam. The rest are very short clips from my phone. Please consider that I'm holding the phone cam and running the crane remote one handed at the same time.

    Yaw, Pitch & Roll

    I've said it before but the smaller cranes take more skill to run at their limits than a larger crane at the same radius. Driving the other day.....looked over at a farm and saw my Dad's old custom a- frame crane with dump bed and chip top on rails that slid forward (to load logs) from the early...

    Morbark M20R vs. Bandit 1990XP?

    I'm really lovin' the bandit 1990! Not even a yr old though. I abuse it all the time....24 inch plus dia logs! No issues at all even the paint is holding up great. I ve heard the 20R, wdsmn 790, and Vermeer 2100 are great too but the 1990 takes larger diameter logs (I think Marquis has a custom...
