whadja do today?

[treeman75]

I woke up this morning trying to think how I am going to pay for this thing so I drove around looking for more crap to buy for it. Came back with a 20 dollar set of seat covers and a 43 dollar hook for the winch from Grainger then called some clients and said," AHS NEEDS MONEY!" So far, so good. They said they were happy to hear from me.:msp_confused:

Is that a 1ton?

Is that a 1ton?

Sure, why not? I used my 1/2 like a 1 ton and my 1 ton, well, I plead the fifth!

The truck in the pic has an emblem that reads '2500' whatever that means.

I bought that 2010 white 2500 cummins I was looking at last week. I cant wait to see how it pulls the dump trailer full.

Most of the trucks I was looking at that had the clearance lights were 3500's. It must be an option for 2500 too.

There's a fungus among us!

Found a decent amount of this on the lower trunk of a big mighty Coast live oak today. Thinking of using mauget arborfos injections on this. Anyone have any luck with that product on oaks?


Nice truck!

My 2500 didn't have clearance lights but I too have seen some with them.

That was a nice bit of truck

They are really buliding these trucks today for flash. Yer a nobody if you don't have a grille the size of Texas.

I can't wait to haul my chipper into some yards either. I have a good one coming up where I am bound for some scratches.

I was doing a fun job with the old Goose the other day. Out in a cornfield then in the woods on a rocky little trail rigging trees to pull over.

That big red hook is a little comical but that is what they had with a big weight rating and its fat so it won't bend the ropes to bad, it'll hold a double bowline nice and is sure to allow a clove hitch to come apart easy enough.
There is a hole in the hook for a clasp but no clasp. The guy said I have to buy that separate but couldn't find one. That kinda sucks but I can always use a shackle too.

 

[no tree to big]

Fun day today playing in the creek. To start off the day we almost fell through a driveway with our little crane. Iwas standing there going over the game plan with the bossman and was like is my truck sinking? So i pulled up about 4 feet so we could put plywood under the tires i was like 3 inches deep! Yikes! Good thing it was a county job... We can basically do anything short of tearing down a house to get to the debris jams in the waterways... I love pulling on #### having no clue how big or what its snagged on cause its buried under 10 tons of crap atleast when my backside out rigger is a foot of the.ground i can set it back down :msp_scared:

Found a dead raccoon thankfully you could still tell what it was last time we found an animal it was a big blob pretty sure it was a deer

I dunno. This is a Power Wagon, they put a bunch of stuff on them that they don't put on your regular 3/4 ton. Its got front and rear electric lockers, electronic sway bar dissconnect and they come with off road tires. It also has skid plates galore.
This truck has a solid boxed frame. I don't know if that is standard for all of their trucks but I am a little intimidated.

 

[treeman75]

The truck is a little fancier than I need. My chevy has rubber floors and gets pretty nasty, im going to have to skeep the new one cleaner.

Hi Mike,, What are the 'targets'?
I would not treat a tree without knowing the species of fungi.
BTW,, an injection is a 'wound'.

Ya, they make them power wagons pretty bad ass!

Yeah, I suppose one of these days I am either going to cut the rug out or get a set of those high end custom floor mats.
Its sounds harsh to cut the rug but I think its the best thing. Everything flows down under that plastic rocker panel cover and stays there.

I kinda lucked out. I just went to where somebody told me to go and they had something I was looking for. I don't know nothing about what's up with trucks or what to get really. I didn't even want to get involved in getting a new vehicle. I am not partial to any brand either but I like a cool work truck just the same as the next guy. I am glad to be done with it and to be able to keep working with confidence.

Im going to buy rubber mats with the bigger lip on them.

They had a few of them on the lot when I bought my 3500 but they wanted $15k more for them then the truck I got. I am surprised that truck didn't come with the HD rubber floor mats. They came stock in my. Think the dodge ones are like $200

 

[sgreanbeans]

They sell some pretty nice rubber ones, with the ridge around them, at the big box auto stores. Like 50-60 bucks. I need to get a pair myself.

 

[squad143]

I recommend the WeatherTech floor liners. I have a set in my Dodge 2500 and my wife's SUV.

Here is a link to the Canadian site. I believe they are made in the US.

2500 - 3/4 Ton

3500 - 1 Ton

 

[ducaticorse]

2500 - 3/4 Ton

3500 - 1 Ton

I'm hoping he was just joking about not knowing what those numbers mean.
