I will say, I did watch that one vid and that Reon Rounds dude is a bad mofo, no doubt! Very impressive.

Not sure how that relates ...

Just comparing what you "invested" in in your "new age Tree Service of the Future" lol...with NO CRANE but you buy a 35' wh knuckle boom compared to his what? His 100 ' knuckle boom. None of them seem to want a rickety ole scrambled egg control pad potty lift either...why's that you think? None of them choose the 170 hp single axle chipper either or a bucket with 4 wheel drive that had a 10,000 lb. elevator added to it as an accessory...that kinda thing. Yes, I think one of em might have the tank size huge wheel loader...but I bet they have enough sense to own a mini as well. And Rounds seems to work off his property like you but it is a giant farm for God's sake with huge buildings on it. Maybe it is THEM that is the tree service of the future...and not Lonely Boy Casadei?

You seem to get a boner over this reon guy.... ya know I could give him a call for you and see if he would hang out with you for a day, lol. I personally know him and I'm sure he'd accommodate a fan who is such an elite tree man, as yourself.

Treevet i don't think you'd be able to handle his crane you gotta use sooooo much plywood 2 layers and it still cracks sidewalks, lol its only like 80k pounds

At least Rounds offers something to forums unlike you, "No Dich Too Big To Suck". You give nothing at all. Kind of like the Pasta Crane Man, Lovstrom and Pickledstein. No video, no picts and no worthwhile info. At least Cassidillo sends out mass still pictures daily of all the same wrong equipment while screaming in a high sissy pitch voice "that's how we roll" Probably why he has no wife or kids (wink).

Better than nothing you have to offer tho. You are likely still climbing on a taughtline while running a chuck and duck one day a week for beer money if you do anything at all. Probably a big fat lard a$$ who just talks a big game of years gone by which only lasted a couple of years of sub mediocrity anyway lol. Surprised you can even afford Wifi and a computer.

It is the last crane vid of the Merlo (?) I am interested in seeing. Never seen anything like that before.

You continually make yourself look more and more like a total tool... you may continue haha.

Nope...didn't mean not producing vegetation. He has plenty of it between his ears...like you do Jeffy boy. (and the pasta crane man lol).
Jees, I was beginning to feel left out. Thanks for the dig. I see you have included Jeff in your circle of targets I’m sure he is as impressed as the rest with your hate for everything up to date. Give it a rest dave, your struggle to remain valid is obvious.

Not that your senile old ass is worth arguing with, but your man crush Rounds appears to have the same lift as me, just painted green. His single axle bandit chipper looks pretty damn familiar to me as well. Maybe you need to have your glasses checked.

As far as your tireless crane argument goes, why don’t you check back in with me in a few years if you’re still kicking, we’ll see where I’m at. Meanwhile, your lonely old ass and your paint rollered up equipment scrap yard can go **** yourself. Lol. Just saying.
 
ass is worth arguing with, but your man crush Rounds ...
No man crush but if any of you had the brains to notice ...these guys...Rounds, Jacob Treeson, Hunnicke, Reg, etc etc...can do the work at the highest level ...and at the same time not only record their work for example and discussion (and profit)...but they can make a highly interesting production both in content and skillset of producer, actors and equipment...that is highly enjoyable and relatable and educational to watch...Kind of like an elite level of "chewing gum and rubbing your stomach" at the same time.

Being just a 2 man op it is more difficult for me to do this but I try to add some clips of high level tree work while doing all the things a young man can do at almost SEVENTY THREE YEARS OLD. Hey if that is not inspirational...like the pro quality videos of the above mentioned ...then what is? Can one, like a carpenter or a doctor or a plumber etc., work into their 70's if they keep themselves in shape to do the work and keep abreast of technology in the practice and equipment? Fk yeah. Takes a whole lot of stress out of one's life not to have to become a ward of the system thinking ahead to one's latter years...no?

I am sure mental midgets like Classlessdei and Pastacraner and Picklestein and others will have a field day with this post ...but do I really care? Nope...I can handle ALL of them at the same time while chewing gum and rubbing my stomach and been doing it for years...just for entertainment ...and dump trailer loads of laughs. :laugh: So if I am not gonna get any vids or sophisticated discussion from any of you morons...at least I can entertain myself while doing billing or bids or reading arborist material...by slapping around the whole lot of you worthless losers...who are fighting against learning anything lol.

All the worthless losers in your opinion seem to be making a dam good living without attacking everybody every day. The fact that we occupy a space in your head is satisfaction enough.

Let's see one picture let alone video of you doing tree work lately...just one. Why don't you shuffle off and find a crane forum? You like the smell of tree guys or something?

yep, I quit babysitting daves stupidity, and im making close to 1K/day, maybe if he'd get off his ass and do something worthwhile he could afford a spray gun for his chipper

Oh gawd...15 year old boy Zineb Watts is back and his dad, Watts Up who likes to be taken for a 15 year old cuz he is a 15 yr old mentally is back too . I think everybody thought the kid went to the beginner's forum while who cares where the dad went to....damn...
 
Not going to enter into the sandpit of personal attacks.

But that Palfinger on the Kenworth is a ripper. Imagine north of a million AUD, very similar unit got set up here in WA, although more focused on plantation work, around 1.2 million was the figure I heard. Having some family dollars & backing of a broad acre agricultural enterprise seems to certainly have helped the equipment fleet for RR. Does look very fragile when compared to a traditional stick.

The Merlo's are handy & staples in most larger ag enterprises, not cheap, the Rolls of the telehandler world. Have used them a bit in the past five years (not with a grapple saw head), useful, but very two dimensional range of movement. If you've got one for lifting bales of hay & silage like RR, makes sense to throw a grapple on it. Fast ground speed is a bonus. More common, for the same application, here are the Hitachi 17 tonne traxcavators (excavator on wheels) fitted with a grapple head. Fast ground speed (compared to traditional excavator), still with the advantage of 360 slewing. Very useful for storm damage clean-up on roadways.

Think a good spiderlift is many times more versatile than a bucket truck & will be one of my next big investments to get ahead of competitors here. In my region bucket trucks are the domain of utilities hackers who couldn't climb a bunk bed & wouldn't know a finishing cut if they tripped over it. The only other regional tree service here running a spider lift has no climbers & pass on more 'technical' work to smaller outfits who can climb. Figure a decent spider lift, with a crew of three - four strong climbers, along with the various other handy bits of equipment with be a solid team.

Love my climbing, as do my guys, but have had plenty of awkward trees recently where being able to sneak a spider lift in to do some spreading leggy 20 metre tree over a restaurant would have saved some energy for climbing the 40 metre straight up tree over the cellar door....

How many crane jobs a month do you think justifies purchasing a crane?
Average company around here charges $1200-$1500 a day for a 30 ton. It comes with an experienced operator for the most part, and the crane leaves at the end of day, without the concern for maintenance, insurance, repairs, registration, DOT inspections etc by the tree service subbing it out.
I would think it would only make financial sense when your doing a crane job at a minimum of once or twice a week. Even then, someone has to run it, which generally means another employee, so you need to hire an operator or another climber, which will cost more than the crane plus everything else included, and it’s just about impossible to find good employees in today’s market.
 
Had planned on climbing this one because I was worried about the side slope/hills with the lift, plus wasn’t sure our usual amount of plywood we have on hand would be enough to reach it After looking at the tree for a bit I realized what a pita it was gonna be. Pretty big red maple hanging over towards pool, trees and brush all underneath it, so no decent lowering zone. Ended up putting the lift in wide track with the legs part down and went for it. Had the perfect amount of plywood as usual too. What could’ve been a nightmare turned into a pretty decent day.

Took about 20 mins to make that plywood road and 15 mins to chip those brush piles with the heat and tunes going. Nice Monday.
