Would 4 ton capacity really be worth it? And if that's your max, what's the WLL?
Thats a cool thought for the right jobs. Imagine one with a grapple! How much do they cost? $$$ I mean, you can repair a lot of yards or buy a lot of plywood for a lot less. It would definitely be innovative. Have you seen any other tree guys online use something like that?I can see where it’s limitations in capacity could be made up for by its convenience, light weight, ease of setup and ability to do the impossible in a remote access type situation. I can see it being a total game changer coupled with a spider lift and forwarding machine. The last piece of the backyard chess match, so to speak.
So says the Vanity Manatee, and Vlad the Pukin *****all about how you use them
I cant get a silky blade to last nearly as long as people say they will
but, if I can get a few months out of a blade im happy, it stays on my saddle and gets used for little suckers and smaller limbs too close to a rope to use the trim saw
im liking the new thread, feels like less of a pissin contest
we are all human, none of us are better than anyone else
my sh*t dont stink
Are the teeth induction hardened or can you file sharpen? I've sharpened induction hardened teeth with a Dremel using a cut-off wheel but it's kind of a pita.FNG broke my silky blade, got a whole new saw (wanted the zubat as an upgrade anyways)
its the little things, im stoked lol

A big crane is a definite thought someday, but I have to say, this thread I saw somewhere on the Hoeflon C10 mini crane has really gotten my interest. I mean how cool would something like that be for lending a hand on backyard spider lift removals. Might just be one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I could almost see paying off the first lift and adding something like this down the line. Similar cost to the Omme’s and about 1200 pounds less. Think about it, same trailers, same plywood, mats, whatever. It’s a really interesting thought to me.

So I think I know why you have such a problem stopping your truck.... that there is a dually truck and you only gotz a single wheel... bigger brakes less rubber = skid marks, lol.

There is a thread on another forum about the Hoeflon 10. The guy loves it and it is impressive for such a small machine. I can’t remember his name or where he is located. I’d love to see it in action though.
The CMC and I are no longer friends. Thing decided to freak out and left me about 8 feet in the air on Saturday. I bailed and overrode the system. Apparently that’s not what I was supposed to do. Today I had to use that bottle jack type manual override to finish stowing the boom and lift the outriggers. That wore three of us out and took till noon. Spent the rest of the day looking at estimates, picked up 25 new mats, and helped the mechanic with his crane issues. Got that down to a bad wire but all the electric valves use the same color wires and are in the harness together. The wiring diagram wasn’t important enough to make it in the owners manual I guess.
EDIT:
I just checked and the guy with the Hoeflon 10 is in Rhode Island. Also we will both be attending the same class at the end of the month. He will probably be sick of me by the time it’s over. That thing is cool.
