more fun with knucklebooms

[rangerdanger]

Ok, thanks alot. Now, amy I ask what is all the 6s 4s stand for.

 

[allmark]

6s is the # of sections in the boom 4s is the # in the fly jib.

It's amazing to me the amount of weight that skinny boom can handle.

 

[rangerdanger]

Ok. Get it now. Thanks for the help in understanding this. Once you learn it I guess its not so complex!!!

 

[rangerdanger]

So, Mike. Any new in action pics to share??

 

[MikePoor]

Hey Ranger, sorry i haven't posted much lately. but here are some more.

 

[MikePoor]

And more with the Rig'em & Roll! The R&R has solved a lot of the issues i thought i would have with a grapple on the end of my crane (This was discussed earlier in this old post)

 

[MikePoor]

more

 

[MikePoor]

another, It's neat the way the R&R can sort of hold the pick at a certain angle

 

[rangerdanger]

Awesome Mike!! Great to see the R&R is working out for you!!! Great set-up and pics as always Mike!!

 

[MikePoor]

there goes!

 

[MikePoor]

All the limbs over the roof were plucked w/o spider legs or tag lines or anything, leaving the trunk (2 picks)

 

[MikePoor]

Did this Hackberry w/dozens of cables

 

[MikePoor]

Plucked all the stems with the R&R. It saved alot of time because i had to take the tops off above the cables first to relieve weight on the cables

 

[MikePoor]

The landing zone was tight but with the help of the mini loader the stems were pulled under the adjacent trees

 

[MikePoor]

The trunk was splitting

 

[MikePoor]

Amazingly a ratchet strap held it together until the moment it was dumped
