    I wanted 10' 5k ones at first. I just really didn't want to drop 600$ + on them. Plus the 10' would poke out of the truck bed too much.

    Mackie Enterprises. Check discountramps.com too. They had some good prices, although nothing in the 3k lb range, just 5k so I went with Mackie.

    Saweeet. I got some new ramps, 3000lb capacity for loading the mini. No more butt puckering. It was always the most dangerous time of the day, unloading and loading.

    I fell victim for some new truck bling. My current wheel simulators are a pita, and look cheesy but better than steel, takes 16 extra nuts for them to come off, and they cut my hand when I lock the front hubs. Lame excuse but I ran across these factor ford aluminum wheels on craigslist for a...

    I've got a friend that's pretty gullible. He told us he had a neighbor that works at the railroad, if we need any tools let him know. We would tell him to ask his neighbor for all these ridiculous tools. "Metric Adjustable" "Bucket full of steam" "Muffler bearings":|:

    Sweet. I've seen that name on my spliced rigging slings before I used to make them. Matter of fact, I'm just about to call my Vermeer for 200' of Velocity.

    It's a pretty cool unit. Just have to find a spot to mount it now. :roll:

    Just got this little unit this morning for the rig. It's a Ford Auxillary Idle Control unit, mostly found on ambulances. It's going to be great for warming up the truck in the morning, jump starting people, and long lengths of idling to prevent "wet stacking". It keeps the idle at preset...

    hahaha. My Petzl's have problems closing on their own, they are fine at first but generally start to suck after a while. They are stored in dry boxes and used limitedly. I'm sure a squirt of dry graphite would help, just yet to locate it.

    I picked up a Stihl HT-131 telescoping pole saw today. I've been pondering one for a while, but kept talking myself out of it. I've got a few jobs where they want some trees raised and I was tired of putting ropes in trees to go up 15'. The thing sounds mean, it's got that 4 stroke thumper...

    You'll find how there is a pinch point, it really depends on what machine you have. I welded a exhaust clamp on mine to hold the hose from the pinch area. Hydro oil in your face sucks.

    Freaking sweet. Looks like Dave changed the grapple claw a little. Mines all sorts of bent up. A regular BFH helps.

    Sweet deal, sucks about the damage though. Screw the trailer, get ramps. I've been rocking only ramps since i've started my own gig.
