Didn’t you tell us about a spotted owl or some other endangered species living in the woods next door? Lol That sucks about the woods.

How did you guess?

Awesome scenery!

Just some random tree weirdness I thought I post.

I use Spark Plugs and the voices in my head keep me company. They tell me to do things lol

Pics So one pic has shiny spots on the Rigguy, the other is a nice little melted end, and the other shows melting of the zinc coating. This was the cable in the tree half that exploded.

So we removed the tree today and the cable certainly looks struck. I’ll get a pic tomorrow. The end of one of the strands is melted over and there are shiny spots on the Rigguy, looking like arc marks to me. I’m guessing the cable attracted the lightning. Reason being is that I found chunks of...

I’d weld a ball on top of the arm.

It’s something to consider.

That sounds very much like a rust belt problem. If it ain’t leaking don’t touch or it will.

Should we be installing lightning protection in cabled and braced trees? We had some bad weather roll through yesterday and one of my custies trees was struck and blew apart. The lead that had one side of the cable shattered completely releasing the cable. So that got me wondering about the...

I think I’m good to tow 38,000 with the 5500. That’s just a lot, 7000 pound chipper is all it will ever see. I’ve had it stuffed with logs many times and many tons lol.

Every trailer needs to be tongue heavy or it will sway at speed. Just not excessive tongue weight.

That load could have been balanced better,

Drive forward and lower the bucket on top of the front wall. Keeping more of the weight over the axels, still tongue heavy but more manageable. But your new trailer is a better solution that two feet is going to help.

He just got an endorphin spike from the heat and spices. Lol

Idk maybe it’s the ‘shit my pants moment’ of being absolutely green and clueless when tree parts start moving aloft. Standing in a ladder thinking, falsely, that you are on firm ground.

Better yet let’s add a vector of line angle to a dead tree while rigging, that should make it safer. wtf
