Not really a surprise that neither one of you two dopetards want to get down to business and discuss anything of substance. Sad, really. Oh well, hope you have fun on the short bus.

Yeah, I'm going to get back to business right now when I can sit here and poke these wild baboons' eyes out through the bars. Right :msp_rolleyes:

Blake man why bother neither is worth your time. FTA has posted like 3 pictures since she has been here and they are all of the same little tree on the side of a hill somewhere that you wouldnt need a step stool to take down and his father AA is well I really think he has early stages of dementia. Neither are on your level.

If I just swung in there with the big ol' crane, what would my boys have to do??? :msp_unsure:

Employ 'em, don't destroy 'em, ay? Pick'em-up-sticks is not fun every day, but at least the guys know they get to play 'em.

You belong at Lowes, Ed.
You are not a tree guy. You are a guy with no qualifications hoping to be something. Quite a joke you are, but oh well.

awesome man, my only regret is not buying one years ago. completely changes everything..I'll get some footage up, but not on your thread, I'll pull up my old crane newbie thread and post it up there.

which brings up a point to farther derail your thread Matt :msp_tongue:
what kind of cameras are you guys using? been looking at the nikon aw100 - sapposed to be waterproof, shockproof, ect.. seems to be a good camera for work.

my poor canon wasn't made for what I'm trying to do with it, not to mention its almost the size of my hardhat..

A company I do a lot of work for has an altec k crane. It's to small for big stuff, but it has a million uses. Last week were removing wind damaged trees all over the place. One job, a pine blow over, rootball and all in a back yard. There was a bridle path behind the house. We picked up the pine in 3 picks over a blockwall fence and then the rootball in another. Some big Euc's that had blown over in a front yard, we limbed them, then in a few picks, put the logs, in a woodcutters trailer whole. Whole job took an half hour$$$. That same day we remove 6 massive pampus grass clumps, I put a chocker on them and we pulled them out with the crane, and sat them in the truck.
If you had to hire a crane non of those jobs would be worth it, but if you own it the possibly are end less A real labor and time saver when used for day in day out work. We lift the bobcat into the back of the truck with it. We lift chippers, stump grinders, bobcats, etc. over fences some times into backyards.
It works great for medium size removals if you can get close. He does boulder work too. Pick them up for free, and sell them and place them for$$$View attachment 211065

That crane looks a lot like Matt's and I have to say after seeing Matt's rig first hand, it is definitely the way to go if you have the volume to keep it working. I'd much rather have one of those than a bucket truck. Seeing equipment like that reminds me just how bush league my operation is compared to some of you guys.
