Ropensaddle,s world Arkansas style

[ropensaddle]

I attempted to drive one of those when I was a co driver and they were servicing my assigned truck.I was only in it for one delivery .Head mechanic told me to just use the high side[drive it like a 5spd,peg the tach and shift,repeat,repeat,repeat lol] on the highway and low only on the jobsite.
I managed to make the run,but couldn't wait to get back to the yard with it.
I didn't want to learn how to drive something I would probably never be in again,as we had other trucks we usually used when our primaries were being worked on and this was mostly a yard dog.

Yup I use high on road and low off it takes off in high first like most do in low second.
Fifth does some wild crap kinda intermediate it seems you can remain in it on the road down to 45 no problem. It tops out at 70 mph but that is as fast as I care to go anyway and am usually at 50 to 60.

I got two more to do now at my adjusted price lol but they wanted to keep logs on the prior bid like it was The two new ones is wrote as all logs are mine lol and a bit higher that the first trees too. She came out to tell me that if I could give her a deal on these other trees like 3 to 4 hundy that she could do them now and I could keep the logs from them and her son is going to repair all the ruts the power company made and any I make. I am thinking 450 these are tall sog's bucket reach maybe a limb or two then it is climby time. I trie to tell her if we could wait til winter but she said no they need to be done now or her hubby won't be willing. I also bid two more down the street and think I got them also. The people said I was way faster than any they have seen lately lol. I said I am slow now

oooooooops wrong pic here they are

Well back at the hood lol Felt rough today got logs loaded and hauled from last week and roped this one down and measured cut and loaded the logs from it. My cam batteries quit these trees are pretty tall I cut two 20 foot six logs and two 12 foot six logs so 66 foot of log minus several feet of junk log too knotty and my smallest end is 15" I figure these trees must be close to 100 foot stump to apical bud. I have seen quite a bit taller but they are not slouches either! I have some kinda bug ,cold throat scratchy and bones ache. I wish I would get to feeling my oats, would get more done!

 

[ropensaddle]

All I could reach so climbed it from here!

 

[ropensaddle]

Took the whoop azz chipper to the job got one tree chipped made a load so I came home to dump. Going back now to climb the last one for a while in her yard will have some pics, plan to use my home made speedline at least on the neighbors job may use it on this one too!
Anyway be safe se yaáll at dark thirty lol

Started 35 minute drive chipped this load!

Went back and climbed and stripped this pine and loaded a load of wood chunks to bring back and dump not to bad really for an old fart and one helper!

Back in the am to take the log down load and haul then chip the brush!

I had about three tons on it tonight coming home lol. I put new king pins in it yesterday and am going to put air bag springs under the rears next!
Lol the cooler is were I put deer meat, it has nothing in it now. I quarter them and pack on ice for a week, before separating the meats and freezing. I am all out of deer this year already, Oh well; maybe I will get my two longbeards in April and maybe a bonus hog too lol.

Were you out alone? I see someone had to take the pics but where are the boys?
Man, that dump truck looks too clean to be that old.

I have one helper he took the pics! Yes the truck is great for its Age I will be adding things to it I have done the frontend work it had a bad center link and king pins I am replacing the center bearing this weekend,then air bags in rear springs,maybe an add on sway bar,recharge the AC I have already put my pioneer sounds in it! I will eventually swap from the 400 that is in her to a 460 crate or build that 400 into a stroker and may build the bed outta Aluminum . I will likely have many grand put into her before I am done but hey it is my chariot right?
