Yeah, I've got a great mechanic. He successfully picked it up with his roll of without it totally splitting apart! Funny thing is the engine still fires right up. He'll probably take a closer look tomorrow and give me the scoop.
Nice work in your pics. I'm always impressed with the plywood!
That plywood is getting pretty floppy. I used to be able to get 48 sheets for $1400. Now they want $3500!! Not happening.
73 dollars a sheet? Yikes! What size do you get? 3/4?
Yeah, it’s $70 plus tax or thereabouts. 3/4” cdx
This thing is getting it’s ass handed to it. Took that whole top on the right in one piece, was taller that the rigging top. How we roll. Lol
How do you haul it an handle it? Do you have a dedicated trailer? Move it around with your loader?
We have a big pile out behind the shop. I back up my old Chevy and we toss it in sheet by sheet… and then so on and so forth at the job. Lol. It’s a lot of work, but you know them lawns is important!!
Here’s how that log on the right went down. I usually like to be double crotched (pulleyed, whatever) through two tops on stuff that big, but the lift and ground workers were in such safe positions, I felt it was worth taking the chance of going big. Well.. that’s kinda how I roll generally anyway lol.
Gotta bump this thread!
Played around on the local high school's cross country trail today. Lots of fallen trees to clear. Then did four other small jobs.
I was surprised by how much those telephone/cable lines sprung back up after cutting that stick.

Here's my tractor in progress. Yikes!
The bellhousing cracked and split when we were lifting a load of wood. It ended up breaking 2 hydraulic lines in the process but the engine, shaft, and tranny are fine.

Some pics from this weeks first job..
And then this one started today. This is at the bottom of a huge hill and around some stone walls. Getting in and set up is hopefully gonna be the worst part. We might be here a week or better. How we roll baby.
What model New Holland is that?
2003 TC33D I bought it for 10k about 2 months ago. It must have had a hairline crack on the bellhousing, We'll be back up and running next week! I've been missing my uniforest winch.
I'm dying to know. How much does the MDS charge for a week long job??

I don't know...but it's probably a lot. Because...well, you know, that's how the mf'er rolls baby. I actually have a lot of respect for the guy. To do any good in this deal you have to chew through a concrete wall and look good doing it. Otherwise you are just another wannabee.
This job is going to be a bit different than most, so figured accordingly. In other words I covered my ass. Lol. I figured it for seven days on the high end of the pay scale per day, but not taking advantage (very nice and really old lady). I figured five days plus a couple days for moving stuff, etc. Worst case the actual work part takes a little longer and eats into my moving equipment time lol. I think I might do it quicker though, in which case I’ll do really well.. We’ll see. Hope that answered your question!
I might just take it easy though. It’s that time of year where it all starts to wear my down a bit.
Does it have a hoe on it? I think I looked at them when they were new. There was an issue with them breaking like yours when using a hoe.
I think New Holland upgraded the support for the sub frame that corrects the problem.
oh so twelve hundred a day right?This job is going to be a bit different than most, so figured accordingly. In other words I covered my ass. Lol.
