[Pelorus]

Put a receiver on front of truck and made up a little bracket for vise.
Also have one on chipper fender as well, but one can never have too many vices, especially when working with saw-abusing animals.

Yea tell me about it i show up to the job with 8 sharp saws and end the day with one and thats the one that wouldnt start... That reminds me i need to do some sharpening ughhh!

 

[treeman82]

Looked at 2 jobs today, we'll see if I get either one of them. First was some minor pruning and phc type stuff, the latter was cleaning up some downed trees and taking out 2 hemlocks. Only reason I went in today was because I thought I had to watch over DF as he was supposed to finish hauling logs out of that one house today. He couldn't go yesterday because it was raining. Guy shows up this morning, HO says they don't want him there on Sunday... understandable. So I asked DF what he did with the 2 saws I had left for him? just so I knew how to get them if need be. 044 and 460 were supposed to be locked in the chevy truck each night when he left to go home. What did he do? Left them on the brand new flagstone patio under the house! I was very clear with him on this... saws stay on the grass or on the trucks, NOT on patios, and go home or in trucks every night. He even repeated this to me... so he knew. Tomorrow I will be going to a local tack store to purchase a whip. When he returns to finish on Tuesday I fully intend to be perched on a wall overlooking his work zone... "Work faster! CRACK! Take bigger pieces! CRACK! You stupid SOB! CRACK!" Oh G-d I sure hope my saws are still there, and that they didn't leak anything on this guy's patio.

Nice Dave, when can you make me one? By the way an all orange saw looks better on the front of a truck!:msp_w00t:

 

[Pelorus]

Never managed to get more than about two years of reliability out of the orange color, Devon, and parts/service for them things got a tad discouraging around here, so I gave up on that flavour a few years ago.

Will be happy to rig you up a hitch vise sometime.

Had to use my front hitch a week or two ago to get the chipper up a driveway. For what that thing cost, I'd say it's been a good investment.

I've got a vise bolted on the back of my ford flatbed. It's surprisingly useful.

Enjoying a little prune job in 75' weather , saw black sabbath last nite in homdel nj , and my sons 7u travel team won a tourney all a great weekend

I hope I make money this week , would be nice to clear my plate for the month or at least a good portion of it

Did a simple lawn install for a customer of mine. Nothing but kudos and a paid in full invoice up till this point She had another guy come and cut the sod we had laid down, after scraping looming, and grading. Sod had set up about three weeks. She calls me up today complaining that this guy told her we did a #### job, nothing is level etc.. So I go over there today, and there were a few spots tht needed to be lifted and filled, how this happened, I don't know. We had a compactor in there, graded with a bobcat etc. No big deal. So then she starts telling me that the natural slope bothers her. I tell her if you don't like it, we can add a three thousand dollar retaining wall at your property line and redo the entire yard. Other than that, not much I can help you with. The grass cutter also used his trimmer to hack the #### out of several parts of the lawn as well. Ughhhh....

I am also shocked

Worked on these two poplars today. Got the one on the left done. Gotta finish the one on the right tomorrow. There's a nice drop off behind that house. I am very close to 100ft up believe it or not. Was using a 200ft work rope with very little to spare. Not much room on the ground. And I was working with a rather inexperienced crew. Fun fun. They actually did pretty good. At least they all know that they don't hardly know anything. That's a good start towards learning.

Even been down in the 50's-60's at night, only had the ac on once in the last 10 days or so, pretty freaking sweet.

Let me make sure that all know this is meant in a friendly,joking way ,but ,,,,,kiss my ass .

If we turned off the ac for an hour ,we could probably fry an egg on the counter top.

I will be sure to rub it in this winter when you'all are buried in snow and I'm working in a t shirt.:hmm3grin2orange:
