    Today....

    We loaded up and hauled off a large Ash stump today. This tree got tipped over in a recent storm and landed on a house. It was right at the edge of a seawall and pushed the large retaining rocks into the water. We couldn't really grind it as part of it was sitting on top of the other seawall...

    Crane collapse during a tree removal:

    We recently fell through an undisclosed septic tank. It was under a gravel driveway. It didnt hurt the truck at all and the homeowner ended up paying us to fill it in for them. We did cut them a deal on the cost since they were being super cool about it. She was not home when it happened and...

    Went to look at this mess. No crane access on a lakefront property. Its gonna be fun. Grcs and excavator will get a workout.

    Harken, the manufacturer of the winch used in a goods, says a max of 9/16" line. May break the self tending plastic piece with a larger line.

    Do you always wear your helmet?

    I wear one most of the time. I will get out of the truck and get stuff out, sharpen or fuel saws, dig through rigging gear without it. Before the actual work begins I have it on. I dont always wear it raking. Its 100 degrees and 90 percent humidity here some of the time. I also wear shorts a lot...

    Today....

    No goods or Hobbs. I've used a goods a lot and it wouldn't have moved this without some mechanical advantage. Also I was using 5/8 rope so that wouldn't work with the goods. Had it setup where there was 2 parts of line to the actual piece. I was going to do 3 parts of line but couldn't find my...

    Today....

    Unfortunately not. We were a bit busy doing the haul itself. If I do it again, I'll try to get some better shots. I discovered I need another rigging prusik cord for attaching the block to the tail of the 5 to 1. I kept having to tie a bowline on a bite. I'd like to have a load cell so I could...

    Today....

    I should have taken some better pictures but I setup a 20 to 1 mechanical advantage today to pick a large oak log off a building where we have no crane access. We had it rigged off an oak tree that also is coming down due to damage. Did a tie back to a good sized pine behind it. Had a 2 parts of...

    You'll want to take some degreaser and the water hose to it. Blowing it out with air wont get it all.

    Had to setup on quite a slope. That's 35 inches of cribbing under the left rear outrigger.

    My buddy was taking a pick of the downtown skyline when. I came flying past on the crane ball and photo bombed him.

    Today....

    Had to setup our 55 ton crane in a pretty sloped area last week so we could get a hickory tree that laid over into another hickory behind the house. We also had a chestnut oak in very bad shape we picked out.

    Crane T.I.P. question

    I use aluminum as well but I'm getting some wear. I'm going to swap to steel at some point just for durability.

    Today....

    I'm pretty happy with it. We have tackled some 5 plus ft oak stumps. It's slow for those but will do it. We ground 10 cedar stumps in 45 minutes. All were 2 to 3 ft. If I ground stumps all day I think a 75 hp machine would be worth it. We usually grind a couple from our regular work. It's plenty...

    Mail-in chain sharpening service

    I would like one of these myself and have considered making one or several as I also own a machine shop. D009 big mount husky is what I was planning on making it fit for sure.
