wow bigun!!!!

glad you are enjoying it Sean.

I know Im doing it wrong but Ive been doing it wrong for so long why change now. I need to hire help for Coxs tree and Ropetek and Im sure in the long run Id make way more money. However I have never had financial obligations and hate to fire folks so am very slow to hire. KEEP IT LEAN

yup I roll with just one groundy too but sometimes feel guilty as he is just overwhelmed lowering and guiding it ....

Never used spider legs. These just jive with my style is all. We use them for all sorts of applications..

OK so heres what I use http://www.westechrigging.com/chain-slings-single-leg-mgs-grabiq.html Buy 2 and get free shipping and you will never need another sling. They are so quick to use and you can adjust it by the link. Groundie never has to touch the ball just unsnap the hook. Only downside...

John nice job. Do yourself a favor and get some lifting chains they freakin rock for crane jobs!!

Not really sure, Ive been told hook up is on them , anything past is on me. I guess the overweight log is on me? I have also been told if the ground fails under the outriggers we are liable. I really don't know and hope to never find out....

Sean that stinks, hope they make it right pronto. I get peeved when my old shit breaks but Id be lived about a brand new piece of gear.

This is from Monday, hot day. We had topped the tree out with the crane set across the street due to power lines and traffic but were going to move closer for the big wood. Crane operator wanted to take this pick before we reset. He was good for 3000lbs, I opted to reset first , crotch wood is...

Ask Kong

Call me crazy but I would almost prefer that to the chain of aluminum that you are supported with........

John, what crane is that?? Looks cool. I need to get a couple of paddle boards as we live right on a reservoir.

Stig, great thinking on using a zip line to clear the path for a zip line. Sounds so obvious when you say it but Im sure not many would have thought of it, me included!

My mother has this and has lost 3 toes to it. Hopefully its not hereditary but I fear I follow her in many ways, I hate the cold with a vengeance.

:lol::lol: Fiberglass tube crushed and got ya !! Imagine that! That has to be as poor a material choice as when I made an aluminum HH and then went to a big trim for my machinist. Got to the top on my Wraptor and them started trying to descend SRT and couldn't move:lol::lol: Biner peened into...

I have a Wraptor;) About half of that tree had to be roped, rest dropped. 2nd one was WAY taller but went real well. Peter that tree looks WAY taller than 88ft !! How tall is the building?? Optical illusion maybe??

One of 2 biggish oaks I took down today, all debris stayed:)

I just pulled a figure out of my ass. He got truck, chipper, saws and phone for $50K. The first dumb thing he did was not getting workman's comp. as he said he couldn't afford it, basically lost at least 50% of the business right there as we worked for a lot of insurance co.s and municipalities.

I sold my VERY profitable business in DC years ago to an employee. I used to work 3 days a week and grossed over $200k with a 2 man crew. Within a year he had run it into the ground......
