Nice rig Dan.

You'll love the f350. I just got one in November, its a beast.

Nice out your way.

I saw you worked on the Dewey Oak. I admire that tree on our trips to Southwick 338 and Rockwood MX.

Why was the large lower limb over the road removed? Storm damage?

Re: Tree Truck set-ups. Let\'s see what you\'ve done

Thanks! Unfortunately a large box truck, despite low clearance signs put in by the town, hit the limb one night and drove away. We never found out who did it. We brought in a consulting arborist for a second opinion, and he said that the limb was so compromised and posed a threat to the road and public that it had to go. Real shame. And the October 2011 snow storm really did a number on the tree. Not the same tree anymore.

I took this picture before the snow storm, probably just two months before

Also brendonv, rockwood mx is awesome! Dan Woodger is a cool guy. I havent rode up there in a while, but his track is fun

What do you tow the log trailer with?

Re: Tree Truck set-ups. Let\'s see what you\'ve done

Thanks for the response dan. I was pretty upset when i first drove by and saw the limb missing. I saw your report after i posted that and also to me it didn't seem deadly. But thats town liability so they did what they had to do.

Re: Tree Truck set-ups. Let\'s see what you\'ve done

thanks. It was a month and a half overdue. I had a ton of issues with my other trucks that year and kinda blew my mind out. Had to get something under warranty that would work every day without issue.

Re: Tree Truck set-ups. Let\'s see what you\'ve done

That's awesome to have that piece of mind. It's kind of a bummer to depend on one truck that may sh;t the bed at any moment! Lot's of anxiety.

What is the make and model of that truck. I'm assuming it's a mack, but I can't find anything that looks like it.

Gorman that logo is PIMP!

Re: Tree Truck set-ups. Let\'s see what you\'ve done

Gorman, I mean this in the best way possible...You could either be taken as a tree service (due to the chip body & chipper in tow), or a tour bus for an 80's metal band. Either way, it's original and good looking!
