Finally joined the crane gang..

Here's my very first pick I've cut off a tree since i got it.

I'm going small to be safe.. I'm in the bucket making the cuts and running the crane from the bucket.. What an awesome feeling of being my own operator! Do any of you ride yourself into the tree?

I flew myself off a roof last week.

The manual pull out's capacity could be lower than the hydraulic sections. My pull out is used to hang the grapple saw, moves the tree further from the hydraulic tubing and such.

Taking a ride up to set the strap on a one cut tree.

Xman, Mike Poor, and I think Allmark all run the crane from in the tree...even when making multiple cuts and balancing picks. Running the crane, setting the straps, and making the cut.

Not a fan of KW?

Looks good.. I prefer standard cab over cab over. Although i must admit my steering sucks on my crane

Steve i just read your post about making the decision to buy the tree mek. I give you props for making the decision! I think it might take a little to break into the market but should payoff once people get to see it in action and your name gets out.

Thanks so much. I'm making a strong push to establish interest already. I have a little help with that also.

@DOOLEY did you ever add the extra hydraulics on your fassi boom for the grapple saw?
