Big bucket came out pretty good as did the chipper. Working over to the crane etc. This week all tree work and touch up at end of the day. New help is really good at this stuff and bought anything he wanted. Cheers.
 
Extreme chipper winching!! :surprised3:
Seriously though, I did have to get a little creative here. Dusting off some old school skills. I’ve got 200’ of 5/16 amstel on the spool. These new winches can suck to run out, but pull at least twice what the old ones do.

Let’s not overanalyze the tuna, guys. A quick google search revealed 1600 lbs to be the average weight of a big tuna, that’s all, nothing more. No stuffing it with cocaine involved.

That was a reference to how I was told drugs were smuggled back in the day. Commercial fisherman would go to a location where a pick up would take place in the middle of the ocean. My dad had an opportunity to do so but declined. His competition however took the deal.
 
Brakes on passenger side of our woodsman chipper seized the other day. Luckily we have our bandit back up chipper. Took it apart and the backing plates are burnt up, the drum is scored and scorched, and the bearings which are pressed into the drum are junk. All and all the replacement for both sides are gonna set me back $900.

I started to whine about it but then I realized how much worse it could have been if the tire caught fire. Tire catches fire, you’re doomed. I’ve seen that on the highway, guys standing next to a tractor trailer inflames with a couple spent extinguishers laying in the breakdown lane.
 
Nice one today. Couldn’t have asked for better weather either. Absolutely beautiful. Kinda felt bad for the tree, but the owners didn’t want it anymore, so is what it is. I should’ve gotten a before pic.
