Haha! Right. That truck is done-no more add-ons!

I wonder if the dump body pump and tank would support an addition?

Oh dont be a pansy! Whats another $15-20k?

The truck has 1 pump or two? The pump would handle it, it wouldnt care, how big is your tank/pump and how hot does the fluid get whilest working it hard?
 
Pansy? Why you /forum/images/graemlins/boxing.gif

There are two pumps and two tanks. You can dump the body and run the boom at the same time. One reason we did this is to prevent possible fluid cross-contamination. That and it was just easier. And the fluid does get hot for sure-no fan.
 
Craig, that is a good point, where do you stop adding to a truck and start "living with it"? But, to answer your question, my pockets are about as shallow as the ice you would be skating on with your wife if you add any more to juke box this year.

I forget, but I believe 140 or 160 to be the optimum temp on most hydro circuits, I do know that it will last longer if you keep it cooler to a certain point. Perhaps bend your rule a bit and add a cooler? It should be relatively straight forward and easy to install with an electric fan to act as a thermostat of sorts.

What would you be adding to the dump circuit?

hey lumberjack, thanks for posting those weight charts! hey mark chisholm i'm thinking to myself about once a week "man if i had a grapple on the end of the fly-jib" i've got the electro-valves on the crane, the switch on the remote, effer makes a hose guide for the jib (but it looks like it would get tangled in brush) the switch on the remote switches the electro valves on the boom from running the jib articulation & extension to grapple & rotator (w/ the 2 far right controls on the remote) and butch definately some GRADE A rims!
 
i just filed some photos from recent jobs. this ones a bunch of dead poplars. they were so dead that i didn't want to stand on the trunk to cut. so i used tripple shelf cuts (to make sure the pick would seperate from the tree smoothly) then flew to the ground and out of the way before lifting it off the shelves.

i was able to set up and do 7 trees at a time, pull up, and set up again. it was nice to have such a huge landing area! (thank god! i usually get stuck trying to land in a driveway overgrown w/ stuff)

this piece measured 72' i left the wood to big to chip until it was time to dump chips, then loaded logs while the chiptruck was gone.
