I must say that is a 'cute' little machine. First thoughts compared to the bigger Giant?
Are those side 'gate' things annoying? Does that grapple hydraulically rotate? Can see two hoses going in, then four on the pendulum.
Put the down payment on this crane today, will
is that legal on three axles in ohio or is it heavy on the tandem?Money maker.
pick it up Tuesday. I’m pumped to put it to work.View attachment 974195

The codom has been cracked a long while. I'm usually one to try to preserve trees but I'm a bit skeptical if I want to try it.
They might get a couple more years out of that tree with a cable but that's a big gap to stitch back together. If it's been split like that for a while it could be all dried up and compartmentalized in there. Wouldn't that mean they would never really grow in together? Or was it included bark to begin with?
You tell us, you're the certified master arborist!
Oh man, what a bummer! Sorry to hear.So one of my guys hit me with his two weeks notice yesterday after work. Doesn’t really matter what his plans are. Gone is gone, no changing that simple fact. I won’t say I’m not a little disappointed and discouraged (this was the class a cdl kid/best guy) but what’re you gonna do. The MDS learned a long time ago that the only person he can count on in this business is himself. Even that can be a little dicey at times.
Not sure I’m gonna go forward with the two crew plan in light of this. Too soon to say really. In a way my heart wasn’t necessarily in it anyway. I just didn’t wanna see a good guy get bored doing ground work, was my main thought, rather than the money. I would never buy equipment based on one employee, so that’s not really the thing. I mean a backup lift and an under cdl giant that’s lawn friendly will always be useful. And who knows, down the road if I happen upon another guy with potential at least I’ll be prepared. He can buy his own ****ing cdl though. Lol.
Ha im flattered!They might get a couple more years out of that tree with a cable but that's a big gap to stitch back together.

You never know, he might eventually be back. Sometimes guys need to go elsewhere for a while to realize how good they had it.
Ha im flattered!
A split codom never grows back together. We just occasionally support them a bit with hardware. It's almost literally like screwing two boards together. At least the wood behaves the same way... I'll bet there is some compartmentalization in there.
If I have time tomorrow I'm going to ride the bucket over and take a closer look. If we do bolt it, it will be quite a workout 40' up with my gas auger drill.
Would that be the bt45?my gas auger drill.
