whadja do today?

Does it have a hoe on it? I think I looked at them when they were new. There was an issue with them breaking like yours when using a hoe.
I think New Holland upgraded the support for the sub frame that corrects the problem.

I'd like to get a backhoe. It just broke when lifting a heavy load. The bellhousing is literally the only thing connecting the front end to the back so I get why after 18 years it finally broke. We'll be welding on a subframe support.

My guys did a fairly tricky one today. Lots of wires. Next to a stream.

Shouldn’t that log be tied up a little further? Maybe it’s just the way it looks on my phone.

That looks like a handy little block and sling.

Yup! I didn't notice that until i looked closer at the picture. I'll talk to him.

Omni blocks with infinity slings are great. I think we're on our third one. https://www.treestuff.com/rope-logic-ultra-omni-block-sling/

you need to tighten up your lanyard, kid. What’re you afraid of the tree? Lol

 

[tree MDS]

Is that your dad? That’d be pretty cool if it was.

 

[ZinTrees]

What’re you afraid of the tree?

yes

dull gaffs and rock hard bark make ones butt tighten

thats Bob, AKA Tennmogger or Hammogger, the owner of the tree, google either of those usernames, lots of cool stuff he has

I always loved that maniacal cartoon. That’s what is think employees are doing when they put gravel driveway rakings through the chipper.

I’m amazed at how long the blades last in this drum chipper we’re primarily running now. I just train everyone to be vigilant about not putting rakings in it, etc., and hit it up with the knife sharpener once in a while and I can get months out of one side.

I figure it’s because the drum chippers actually use the entire blade(s) uniformly, unlike the disk where two blades do most of the chipping.

Nothing throws chips like a disk though. If chipping into the woods, the disk is the way to go.

Just finished climbing this beauty. Growing in/ over a maple that needed to stay untouched just to make everything more interesting. Was able to rig one top and pull two over but one I had to climb to the tip and cut every branch then pull the nest I made out of the maple. My zig zag and zillion are so pitched up they're borderline unusable.

Good to see some young blood getting it. If it hasn't already been said, get yourself a pair of boots that will support those spikes. Looks painful. Also, do you really need all those toys for that particular tree? Drop the weight, your body will thank you in 30 years. Be safe.

Finally washed the bucket today. Thinking I might pay it off this year, figured I should see what’s under all that grime. Not too bad.

Now I just gotta refrain from buying anything else for a little while. Lol. Hopefully nobody pisses me off too much.

 

[tree MDS]

Extreme borrowing. Lol.
