And a used truck that already has the FET (Federal Exchange Tax) paid, doesnt have to pay it twice.

That would be worth verifying. State sales tax is collected every time a car is sold no matter if it was collected at the dealership. At each title transfer sales tax is collected.

That's true. FET is paid only the first time truck is registered. Then you have a title transfer.

I'm only talking about Fed. Excise Tax. And in some states (like NJ) there is no sales tax collected on trucks over 33K GVW. /forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Just for info sake, but Timberland's forestry bodies are made in Toronto. I've been doing some extensive asking around to find alternative body builders and stumbled upon Palmac Mfg. They build the bodies, refresh the trucks and cranes then ship them to Timberland who in turn mounts the grapples. Pretty cheap too. Fairly solid body (not perfect) 16' long, removable roof for $10.5k CAD, installed and painted my colour.

Eric, the red oakk was blown over by the storm that delayed me on the white oak job Monday. Delayed me near 5 hours Monday, but made me plenty of money on Saturday. Just realized it was the same storm.
The root plate pics? The last 2 pics are the only ones I have. The ground was very dry, hence the small size of the root plate IMO.

Re: White oak (embed pics)
I was asked to update the links to the pics, but I can't edit the post. Here they are again
Some pics from yesterday:
Red lines mark the width of the tree.
Lightning struck the top, killing it, although the rest of the tree is doing fairly well. I havent counted the rings yet, but they say its 300 years old (it was approx 175 years old). Can't ride the ball so I have to use the huge and somehow "safer" man basket to set the slings:
Getting the rigging set for taking the top out in pieces.
40k lbs of wood left standing
The lower cut of the the snap cut is about 12' from the stump cut.
Me and the 2 groundies, Bruce and Chris, along with the 22k lb piece of wood.
Fixing the chain, ordered a 72" bar for an 088 for this tree. The customer wants a slab of the trunk, he bought me the bar.
This was the last 18k lbs of the tree, cut around 845 last night. We lost a good bit of time due to weather and a faulty sensor in the crane. Given better working conditions it should have taken about 8 hours to do the tree and 2 additional hours to break down and setup the crane. (ended up charged for 12 hours)

Thanks for that, buddy! You don't realize how big that tree was until the shot where the three of you are standing in front of the branchy trunk section. Great job!

Hey Lumberjack, How's it going? I was glad to see photos of this job again and that big liebherr crane! (what ton rating was that crane again?) I thought it was amazing the way you brushed it out using that pain in the "A" basket? (i know your local regulations make you use it.)

Hiya Mike, going well down here. How's my crane treating ya? 
That was a 110 tonner, 171' of main boom I believe. The job would have been faster and funner if I could ride the ball 
. It's not much fun being at someone elses mercy as to where you're positioned.
It's their insurance, OSHA doesn't mind, I don't mind, the operator doesn't mind, the manager does. A bit retarded

A 175 Ton, funded by State Farm, for your veiwing pleasure!
Last pick was 13.5k lbs. The larger crane was there incase the building started to collapse, we could lift the tree whole and hopefully save the building.

Nice one Carl, Just curious what the crane's capacity was there, that was 13.5 w/single line. He was probably good for a lot mo' right? Was this a recent job due to wind?

Single line? It looks like 4-part to me.
Carl, when you use the self-balancing rig, what type of cut do you use?
