Haven’t taken many pictures lately. Crane jobs have been plentiful and smooth lately. First pic is just a spruce removal I did by hand. Accidentally took a 7600lbs top pick of the spruce in the second picture, crane was only good for 8k.:dizzy: Big nasty butt log on the trailer was 10k.
Looks like everyone else on here is rocking and rolling. Glad to see it!734A767C-4173-409C-958D-1B26B20828C2.jpeg99C9EE28-488A-4345-AE41-C20CFBEEDE24.jpegBC83D30D-512D-4DCC-BC93-CB81399B69E8.jpeg
 
You gonna keep the air trailer brakes?

Yeah. It’s gonna have both air and electric. Might want a bigger trailer someday or whatever. I’m sure it’s a lot cheaper to do it now.

I’ve been using the hell out of old Jefferson lately. I can hardly wait to be running this thing around town everyday. Gonna save a ton of time and just generally help streamline things.
 
So now the cab and chassis is done, but the loader is held up at port in Canada due to a strike or something. Gonna be another month probably (hopefully a little less). Getting closer though.

When’s the crane showing up? Last piece of the puzzle.....

Not sure how many crane jobs you do, but If you can park the log truck near the chipper, it’s the cat’s ass. Feed the chipper if you can’t put the pick right onto the infeed tray and load any logs that you may you cut off of a pick/butt log.
 
We’ll see. It’s not a rear mount, so I know I’ve made some sacrifices there. I just really needed a new wood truck and the rear mount would be too limiting for my operation. The Giant is like a mobile mini log loader anyway, so I figure the two together will be the cats ass. Gonna be a hell of a big chip truck too. Lol

It’s gonna be a beast that’s for sure! As you know, the more time you can stay on the job site the better.
 
Especially when the dump site is 30 mins+ from the job site. And the guys decide to take a coffee stop adding another 10 mins. Before ya know it, it's a hour plus dump ride.

I know, it’s going to be crazy for sure. That z fold is like 31’ 6” and can pick like 10,250lbs 10’ off the truck (minus grapple). I think it picks like 3200 or 3300 at full extension. Def going to be something to see!
