We worked in the rain all day Saturday with my buddy’s crane clearing back a driveway for a new easement. Smoked this large red oak in a couple hours to start the day, then a bunch of smaller trees that were one or two picks. Log on the left was 7k lbs, log on the right was like 5500k lbs.

And a funny meme I saw recently.

I’ve got a big old white oak tree coming up Monday on that crane job we’re on. My older trailer for the tractor (under cdl) needs a deck and my newer cam 7 split deck tilt will eventually be needing a deck. Tree is huge and straight as an arrow and knot free. Should be a sweet score. Just gotta figure out where to bring it, etc. Nice little side benefit of the job.

What do you think the white oak is worth ?

What do you think the white oak is worth ?

That’s a good question. I really have no idea. The whole lumber thing is a mystery to me. I’m guessing anywhere from $800 to a couple grand, but that’s just a guess. Maybe more, maybe less. Should be some sweet trailer decking on the cheap anyway. Lol

After paying to kill it, mill it, dry it, and then sell it who knows. It’s a lot of work.

Just had my morning visit from the company mascot. Lol. Gave him a dog treat and off he (she?) went. So cool.

You've got one now, right Mike? They’re an amazing tool when used properly. Just takes time to get through the learning curve, but well worth it. If something happened to mine tomorrow, I’d have to pony up and buy a new one.

Yup! We don't use it as much as we should. There are a lot of days when we think "Man, I wish we remembered the GRCS!"

 

[mikewhite85]

More zigzagging, cabling, and bolting.

 

[tree MDS]

Nice work!

Whats that big tater on the lower leader on left (second pic)? You didn’t run into it with the truck did you?

You're observant! That's exactly what happened!

You know what they say about the details!! Lol

 

[tree MDS]

Can you smell what the MDS is cookin’!!? Hahaha.. Just sayin

Where does one go about to buy a NEW bucket truck?

Bill Mitchell is the Terex guy for CT. You probably already figured that out, but here’s his contact info anyway. Good dude.

 

[mikewhite85]

Bad day today. Have any of you ever had this happen? Frame just broke. Here's to hoping it's less than 2k to fix.

 

[tree MDS]

That’s terrible, man!!! I’m sorry! Never heard of a tractor frame breaking like that. Have you had a good guy look at it yet, and if so what’d they think?
