Dayum,That old girl didn't look that heavy the first time I saw her[ wish I had a buck for every time I said that lol ]
At 31k I bet she does need lots of plywood.
Still a helluva cool truck.
I think the most productive thing that I did today was realize that the tongue of my chipper was more 3/4 cracked from bottom to top on both sides , if the tongue had given way the chipper would have come completely loose of the truck since the chains are ahead of where it cracked , I mean seriously a loose chipper other than the break controller slowing it down it surely wouldn't be good .. the area where the crack was, was along side of a vertical weld that was almost 6 inches I mean scary ..
Way to go with the equip insp. You may have just saved a life......
Nice, That's quite a load of wood!
Couldn't help but watch this video that came up after yours because it said Va. These good ole boys must be the luckiest tree service in Southwest Va. to get away with this stuff. I think those could be the smallest notches in history!

Maybe you should add to your 'To do' list to do daily inspections. :msp_w00t:
Jeff :smile2:
So you check every weld on your machines daily .... Listen I admitted already that it was by chance I check tires, lights , connections and things being tied down , I guess that I should take some time on the rain days and and scoot around on the creeper once in a while ...
Did you check the loose air filter housing nut?
Anyway, Yeah, full on inspection before leaving and logged. Tail gate safety meetings every week. We are TCIA Accredited. And yeah, look your stuff over, you know where you've been. You also know where the likely breaks will be. I hear you on the time issue. But, If you implement this now, you will catch up fast with equiptment maintenance. Take 10 minutes to walk around.
Oh oh, Dinner!
Jeff :msp_smile:
Are you drinking this evening ??? You could eat off my equipment its that clean .... I have a shop where machines and trucks pass through regularly and my equipment is not by far junk ,but a hair line crack in a weld is something that all the inspections in the world may not find ... But I get it your #### quit stinking a bit ago Thank God That your accredited lol ... That menas you have X ray eyes .... i don't wanna argue but I think tonight you may be a bit much to say the least
LOL! Woodsman, these guys call them 'gum'.
