Re: TCI\'s Effer 655 Knuckle Boom

Ok my curiousity has gotten the best of me. I've looked around TB a bit, but don't seem to be able to find anyone with a big kboom on a chip truck. Any particular reason, advantage/dis advantage?

Here is ours.

We have two of these 40 yard chip boxes.

Ugly here in this picture. They have been painted since, but still haven't had the aluminum sides and vynle pictures put on the sides yet. Got the aluminum laying in a stack for serveral years now.

If you have missed it; our truck is also a hooklift truck, we can therefore change our beds in minutes. We have log begs, flat beds and two chip boxes. Chip boxes can be chipped into on the ground or while on the truck.

being funny in this picture here, easiest one to find right now....

just showing the different beds and possibilities, I won't post any more, don't want to stray from the threads title.

some day I'll add to our old Arbor-X Knuckleboom thread again.

Grapple Cam...I love it! You guys have a serious talent lineup


Maybe another challenge...picture in picture in picture. One on the climber, knuckleboom operator, and climber. Running the entire time? But if that sounds lame ignore it

Re: TCI\'s Effer 655 Knuckle Boom

Stick booms and k booms have been contrasted some in this thread. I was wondering if there is a significant difference in maintenance needed for a K over a stick. Seems like the winch is doing most of the work of raising/lowering with stick whereas the K has lots of booming up and down/in and out.

I think classictruckman, Mike Poor, Allmark or Xman may be able to shed some light on this. I don't feel we are qualified to make a statement on that.

Re: TCI\'s Effer 655 Knuckle Boom

Understood. Now doubt over time you will become well versed in all the nuances.

 

[classictruckman]

Re: TCI\'s Effer 655 Knuckle Boom

I have yet to see the long term maintenance for a kboom, mike poor has way more experience, he's had three of them. But I grease either every other day (the kboom has way more fittings), but the boom gets lubricated twice as often if not more than the stick boom.
