Stein Arbor-Trolley

No that's Blake, the daughter of one of my coworkers. I took this at our Christmas party moments after I presented the crew with their Christmas present...the new arbor trolley. Blake Approved!

She is a cutie! Wit de big cheekys.

Arbor Trolley increases production on the job site.

We weren't quite logging like Bix, but got a lot of use out of the AT on the hung up alder the other day. Hope Erik got a good pic or two of the job. Maybe later today. I'd say the AT made a $75 pay-back/ ROI on that job. Keeps adding up!

Oh yeah, the Ropetek comm units were super important on that hung alder, too!

Alrighty....Bix, Bonner your good promoters of gear! Pulled the trigger on one from tree stuff this morning! Shipping was very reasonable! Have a pretty big job next week, 5 Chinese elms in tight back yards in Toronto, can't get the mini skid in. Should be here Friday or Monday morning depending on FedEx! Third tree stuff order in a week! Lol last one til my lift arrives in April! ( yeah probably not)!

Handy little sucker...

I've said it before to Arb Trolley doubters but I'll say it again.

The advantage is not just the amount of brush that it can carry but the fact that millions of twigs and leaves don't get left along the drag route. 95% less raking the lawn at the end of the job.

Brilliant!

Devon, did it arrive?

Devon, did it arrive?

Sorry had a busy week! Oh yeah! Awesome in the snow! Got mixed reception fom my guys becuase I didn't bring the mini skid (very tight yards and limited access) boy did they ever like it after they used it! Now that we have have helmets Comms I can hollar at them and tell em to move faster! lol

I ordered one the other day and can't wait until it gets here.

Two man move on on a soft path with a tight turn, flat, then downhill. The photo exaggerates it a bit, but it was lowered onto the cart and cut down to size.

 

[rumination]

Wow, that thing will take some weight!

 

[SouthSoundTree]

As you see at the butt of the log, there is decay. That this tree didn't snap, when tipped into an adjacent one, bending about 70 degrees total from bottom to top, amazed me. If the log were solid, it wouldda weighed a lot. I'd say that it was 20'+. Using the comm units not only makes it easier to clearly communicate, even when just moving this thing in a tight track to not start pushing out a retaining wall, but keep your ears warm when its cold. Brrr... musta been 40 degrees F that day. haha. Sorry guys in the cold parts.

The Arbor Trolley is awesome!

True, but let's see how well it's doing after a couple years OTJ.

Butch they are built too last! Strong steel and supports in the right places! Have to try one out to know what we are all taking about!

 

[SouthSoundTree]

Who cares if it breaks in a year? It will have paid for itself in so many ways over and over and over. Buy another. They are easy to replace, a back/ shoulder/ wrist is not.

 

[MasterBlaster]

It BETTER last more than a year, lol.

 

[SouthSoundTree]

It will, but it is still a worthwhile $800 a year. You wouldn't go for an Craftsman over a 200T if it cost $800 a year for production work, right?

It will last more than a year, easy. I'm just saying.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I just don't think it was originally designed to routinely haul heavy loads over rough terrain.

 

[squisher]

I'd say if it didn't bend or break with that birch on it, it'll last a good while.

Has anyone bent or broke there's yet?

 

[flushcut]

I think Nicks has bent a little in the brace in the bottom of the cradle but that's all I have heard.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

A couple new welds wouldn't surprise me
