Back from walkabout?

Yea, I love my kit!

Yo, just started watching, Loved the pic of the old guy with the walker! It's a part of equation!! Hats off to you sir.

Hey I dug the music too, even if it is just perhaps AI generated.

Ok, time for annoying tree guy comment- aint it time for Damien to quit with the little angled cut on the front side? Just cut through that sucka with one cut from the proper angle, reading it all the way. Kinda like Sir Smooth does it.

Anyway, as usual, thank you mucho gusto for posting!

 

[August Hunicke]

Thanks Cory, I'm ok with him doing it that way. I never cut the way he does for crane but I don't mind.

It’s a safe cut. I’m the course of the day it really might only add a few minutes for a full day of crane work. For the two cuts he made maybe a few seconds. For the little crane experience I have I’m proud. A straight through cut takes quite a bit of certainty to do it and have it work perfectly. A V cut or shelf cut or whatever they want to call it can take out for a certain margin of error. Not my cup of tea but I have done it. To get a straight through cut to work perfectly a lot of things need to be set up perfect.

Liked the video. Figure out the short yet?

 

[August Hunicke]

Not yet, but a circuit board is fried in the central unit is what we believe.

I figured Damien picked up the crane cut from Reon when he went and worked with him in Wisco. But Joe does it in your latest video, too...

Our climber almost never does it working with the grapple truck holding the piece to be cut. Straight through or a snap cut that the grapple breaks off and then lifts or lowers away.

 

[August Hunicke]

ya, well, young guys do young guy stuff. its all over IG the v cut

 

[Stumpshot]

You like the Sena unit to the side like that? Or did you just run it that way (Motorcycle style) due to the shortness of the boom mic cable? We got Xbox mic extensions off eBay and gained 5-6 inches of length (hrmm, sounds like some other kind of ad!).

 

[August Hunicke]

i put it there for some reason. don't remember. prolly cause i was running 2 and had the back of the hat used already

Nice work!

Why the "V" cuts?

 

[MasterBlaster]

9 trees, 9 cuts!!!

 

[August Hunicke]

they like em

 

[MasterBlaster]

It's cool, but unnecessary 99% of the time.

AH, looks like you are hitting alot a home runs with your crane. Now that you've had it for awhile, are you thinking you'd like a rear mount or are you happy with behind the cab mount?

 

[MasterBlaster]

You don't see many rear-mounted cranes.

 

[cory]

Around here they are in the majority ime.

Also, if you want bigger capacity crane I guess you would have to get a rear mount. I've never seen bigger than 26t mounted behind the cab.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Rear mounts are bestest!!!

Rear Mount seems obviously the smartest for tree work. But I got this baby for 49 k so. . .
I like it.

 

[MasterBlaster]

A rear-mount will be your second crane.

Loving the crane man.
