Ya know what’s fun? Mesquite sliver stuck in the inside of the eyelid.
safety squints my friend, use emYa know what’s fun? Mesquite sliver stuck in the inside of the eyelid.
same here, I've never once worn a pair of safety glasses and NOT get stuff in my eyes, even safety goggles still let stuff inI wear safety glasses that fit so close they’re almost goggles…still get tons of crap in my eyes. Desert
I just now realized, humans went THOUSANDS of years without safety glasses, and only in the last 50-60 years or so we decided to make them mandatory, what changed in 60 years? OSHA, the same people that will hand out a quarter million dollar fine for a $12/hr employee not wearing safety glasses while hanging drywallThey don't prepare for an intrusion as they usually do when working in a nasty environment with dust and chips flying everywhere.
Nice looking machine, similar to my Avant. You mentioned no need for the boom extension but I find it super handy. I leave mine fully extended almost all the time because it puts the grapple out where I can see it easier. I suck it in when picking up heavy pieces but then I still extend it out to get over the top of my 4' sides on my F450 bed.finished Wednesday's job, Wednesday went really crappy, today I brought help, had equipment lined up, everything was perfect, textbook day, got into some funky double rope tree pulling to help "contain" the stems from the hemlock behind the shed as we fell them, worked really nicely
start a 2 or 3 day job tomorrow, I bid it for 3 days but hoping to squeeze it into 2 and take Tuesday off while still making a days pay to sit at home, then another 2 day job Wednesday hauling logs, been busy all the sudden
new machine has 24 hours already, yikes

Get the scoops and broom with your BMG,I plan to get a root rake like that one, I've ran them with and without tele, sure I'd use it but I don't need it, never once had something my boxer wouldn't get to, and this machine has even more reach
loaded this in about 15 minutes with no tele, gonna 100% get a BMG, right now I have to cut everything to 6ft long or so just to carry stuff out past a house, BMG can carry stuff sideways so I can do whole limbs without cutting, was very efficient on my boxer, I had both styles and used the bucket grapple maybe 10 times in 2 years, vs the BMG almost every day

Damn, that's badMy F350 went kaput coming home from a tire mount and picking up RX last week.
I had topped off the fuel before I left the town the tira place was.
Truck started running like crap and had to get towed home.
You don't want your fuel to look like this.
Had to bottom drain 6 gallons before she would run again.View attachment 144324
