whadja do today?

[squad143]

Deevo was a big help yesterday.

We were doing a large Poplar removal yesterday and soon realized that it was more dead (weak) than we originally realized. A quick call to Devon and he made himself and lift available.

It was a tight fit, but the lift made it in

We had taken down most of the live portions while waiting for Devon to drive down to Toronto.

The tree tested the reach of the lift

Was a long day

Our log dolly had a flat, so Devon let us use his Arbor Trolly

Once again Devon, thanks for helping us out.

Nice pics Squad.

Yu need a real climber so as to get them dang buckets out of the DZ!

Impressive takedown mate!

A real climber ...... That's funny that you would ever compare yourself to piece of equipment that doesn't stop it just works all day to make the guy in the air more comfortable . That's a stupid thing to say and if you believe that your a fool . Anywhere when a machine can be used to help it should be . It's safer and more efficient not sometimes all the time .. I think you've been hit with the rigging in the head a few to many times mate!

Um......kinda hate to interrupt your war with a moment of clarity, but I'm pretty sure Jomoco was just kidding, Eddie.

I hope you really stuck it to them for that tree. People will let their tree die and do nothing about it until it is so dead it is about to fall over and then wonder why it cost so much to remove it.

What brand of lift is that. That is a squirrely looking way the bucket is attached. Looks like problems.

We had to pull the stumper out three times to clean it out to see what we had. A little sore from the cob fork today.

Yup, three sides to every story. His, mine and the truth I stand by my story. I have put that experience behind me and have moved on.

NC, if you want a new attachment, Nick does have good prices on them. There is no dispute to new. Used........ well everyone has their own interpretation.

This guy seems pretty popular, i'll have to give him a call. What's his number?

Well, the arm is finally back to work. Just a matter of breaking the ice really. Still calling in as much help as I can while it gets back fully, but yanking on pull cords and ****ing some **** up a little. Good as over with now.

Scored a nice couple jobs lately too. One of which is a nice maple @ $2400 that we're gonna kill tomorrow. Yeah, that's right, Sunday.

My boys on picture day last week.

Must've been a long way to the dump. My stump guy has been doing his usual brutalizing on the job we just finished. I'm amazed at the abuse that guys puts that thing through. Its a controlled abuse, I just don't know that I could stand to do it at 55k for the machine.

Sometimes I wish I had a clam shell grapple for picking up debris. I might make a bolt on one simular to bmg brands one.

You might wanna just simmer down with the giant clam for a bit. Just saying.

 

[2treeornot2tree]

Why you say that? It would be super handy for cleaning up stump grindings and loose debris.

 

[tree MDS]

I just wanted to mention your giant clam. lol

Gotta see if I can get the valve/switch that engages the 4x4 on my bucket working, as I think I'm gonna need it tomorrow. Damn thing just blows air out the side of the valve body. I tried spraying it in the truck, gonna try taking it apart and spraying it inside next. I dunno, not sure where I'd even get something like that.. short of marmon harrington maybe. Pita.

 

[tree MDS]

Could always just wrap the winch cable around the ****ing tree and drag that ********** up the hill to the tree if it came to it I suppose. Lol
