Just got home. Had the crane lettered today and started training on it. Its amazing what this crane will do.

Congrats man!!! nice machine! they are nicer than the Groves

Looks Good. Do you plan on haveing that thing working every day [or most every day] or is it only when needed for a real big job? I would think haveing something that big and expencive it would have to stay out working almost dailey to justify the money spent.

There are a lot of moving pieces, but we do plan on using it almost everyday. It’s a very versatile crane, we can run it as a 70 ton to a 110 ton. We have a handful of other tree services we work with who have already hired us for jobs they can’t handle.
Only time will tell, hopefully in a year we are still all smiles….:msp_unsure:

Did you buy that Grove from Dan?

no, we ordered this one custom from the factory. Liebherr seemed to be the best choice for what we were looking for

My head hurts, another 13+ hour day of training. Thankfully the rain held off, really would have sucked putting the jibs on and off 10 times in the pouring rain

Got the chipper all back together the other day. When it gets warmer, I am gonna paint the chute.

Dropped some trees for a guy i clear his front yard last year. Dropped about 30 trees, roped a few. Had one red oak that leaned really hard. I cut into it to make my notch, and got soaked. I bet about 5 gals of water came gushing out. Neighbor came over on the last tree and asked me to give him a price to drop a couple trees. Roped two of the three birch trees, just for a precaution because they were tight against the house. First tree was a PIA. Went to cut my notch, and the starter rope on the saw broke. Went to the truck that was about 200 yds away to fix it. Got back to the tree and got my notch cut, started my back cut and hit a nail. Had to go all the way back to the truck to put on another chain. Got to go back and do three more trees next week.

Removed two trees at my house, and while i was up in the bucket, i took a aerial pic of my 4000 gallon pond.

Jeff, you may be thinking of sugar pines, they have the biggest cones of all pines....ponderosa just 3" to mabey 6", would still hurt a bit

Today I was driving in the San Fernando Valley and saw a White Toyota Tundra with letting that said "Urban Tree Care!"

Did not see a bearded Norweigan man though.

You look middle eastern. Are you from the middle east? Now wait a minute before you start with the mickey stuff. I was just making an observation and not an insult. I wouldn't win any beauty contest myself.
