This past Thursday. After I get more comfortable with the situation, a tree like this should take 10-15 minutes, assuming I only have to cut a couple limbs out of the way. This cut was around ~80' at around a 35' radius. From memory the top was ~3klb.

Helping a buddy, first job of the day earlier this week. Was supposed to be a crane job next week before lightning struck it and caught the house on fire.

Yeah it’s a current issue. I’ve emailed and tagged @Brandon about it.

Doing hazardous work, changing your schedule to accommodate the emergency of the insured but charging the same as regularly scheduled, traditional work... yeah, I can see why you don't like emergency work.

Easily should have been well in the teens. Perhaps a thread in a more private area would make sense.

Are you billing appropriately? The last insurance job I did, we pulled out around 3AM, I got in bed at 4, and was on a field trip at 8. I wouldn’t want to do that every week, but the juice was worth the squeeze.

Yesterday’s job, I’ll grind the stumps after the utilities are located.

I’ve been curious about that as well. Any thoughts, @Brandon ?

Not on that jib, but I have an idea along those lines, minus the expensive metal. 😂 It's the best grapple truck I've had. 500hp, automated 12 speed transmission, Rotobec loader, around 65 yards, ~44k miles on it. One day I'd like to build my own truck like I did with the...

@Nutball I could take most of those pieces at full reach over the side. The initial picks are over the blade where I'm quite stable. I'll potentially add ~1500lb of counterweight to the excavator, but so far it isn't a priority. The OEM additional counterweight is almost $6/lb, not doing...

Check out the neighboring house on the left…. Affordability won on that job. 😂. There wasn’t much grass between the houses anyways. I don’t chip. Those three fit in the 30 yard rolloff, but usually we haul tree debris in the grapple truck.

First day with the jib, worked a treat!

It can create a necked down spot in the trunk/causes more stress. Like this

It does fine and was ~1/3 of the cost of a Hypertherm 85 with the hand and machine torch. If I was in to heavy production I’d be interested in a Hypertherm. Everlast consumables are very cheap compared to Sync cartridges, Hypertherm last longer.

Nah the 45 is a Hypertherm, the 100 is an Everlast.

Gouging with the 100 amp plasma is heckka fast compared to the 45 amp.

It's my favorite CTL that I've owned by a decent margin. The first was a Mustang branded Tak, second was a Kubota SVL90-2.

I started the day pushing a few loads of dirt out for my neighbor, apparently he spend an hour with a small tractor trying to spread the little bit that was done in the first picture. The top soil should have been cut out before dumping the dirt, but not my circus, not my monkeys. I was...

Yep.

This is what 4800lb of plastic bumpers looks like. This is the third time in 19 months I've hauled bumpers from this body shop.
