Pulling wood out of the brush?

Dave is the MAN .
TNT all the way baby.

Tip on the oil dip stick, bend it towards the opening.

The air filter can be taken off and on without removing the air tank, just gotta twist it a bit. Both are retarded designs.

I know, now at least, dragging brush go backwards, bu I was trying to drive up the ramps and drop it on the trailer, as I did with the logs.
I also learned REALY FAST that I shouldn't have my fat azz standing on the platform while trying to back it off the trailer!!! Yeah, that got hairy FAST!!!
Educational day!

Damn ,you didn't flip that thing did you .

 

[lumberjack]

I've laid mine over several times, rolled it a couple times, and turtled it once.

Normally the platform bottoms out and keeps you from going over, generally.

 

[darkstar]

Frigg did u roll it ?
Very dangerous.

 

[sawinredneck]

No, no fliping, came close though!

Played a little, got the two speed switch freed up and working again. Then I swapped the tires around, the two bald ones were on the left. The bald ones are on the back and the good ones on the front.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOOOOOOOVE!!!!!!!!!
The mini!!! Had to make an emergency run this morning. (We were broke.)
Should have gone solo, but tried two trucks/trailers and two guys. My "help's" dream has always been to do the cutting. He got his chance today, he failed miserably!!!! Even going 100yds to the trailer, driving on the trailer, dumping and straigtening it out, then go back. He couldn't keep up! He thought he needed to place every piece perfectly and help me pick up every load!! Just keep cutting!!!!!
"Well, which tree now?" Dude, do you see the dead ones? "Yeah." You see all the trees on the ground? "Yeah." CUT THEM UP!!!!
Jeez...................... Is it that hard?

I got so frustrated with him, instead of putting straight gas in the mini, I dumped my saw gas in, DOH!!!! Glad it wasn't the other way around a least, and all the internals are geting lubed good!!
The grapple was amazing!!! If it couldn't pick it up it would drag it. I need to learn how to use it unloading now!
I wish it was a hair faster, but probably good that it isn't I need to build a scabord of some sort so when I go solo I can just have the saw right there with me. Might not be a bad idea to take the bucket once in a while as well, that short wheelbase can get rough over some of the humps I was jumping today, but.................
All in all, pretty happy so far!

Toldyaso!

Unloading is the same as loading, just in reverse.

What saw was he using that he couldn't keep up with you? In 6' wood maybe, but around 2' shouldn't be hard to double cut while you're on your 200 yard journey.

glad to hear it andy!!

Carl, this guy is an IDIOT!!!! He had the choice between my modded 350, my modded 046, his stock 350 or MS270. It wouldn't matter, and didn't. Every time I made a run I had to explain to him AGAIN what to cut. I would seriously do better by myself!!! DTW met him, maybe he can explain better!!
No, he should have cut and been sitting on the tailgate for an hour and a half waiting on me!!

The rubber check guy?

 

[sawinredneck]

The rubber check guy?

That would be the one and only!!!

Idiot?

 

[tntree]

Ran up to McPherson KS after breakfast and Mark Treder had two 36" Elms on the ground. Mark wanted to buy my other newer Thomas. We ran 3 diff machines, after loading and dumping two trailer loads and 3 chip trk loads in about 3 hours, he bought the New Boxer 427 wheel right there (more lift & twice as fast as the 25G).
he was going to have his guys load them by hand

When I pulled away from there and left that machine he had mighty happy employees. pix kinda suxs

 

[tntree]

Then I booked over to Manhatten to see Charly Portoff, This man is really cool. You wouldn't want to Fuk with this treeman.

He graciously gave me a quick tour of town and his operations, Nice Axe Collection, and Timberframing

I haven't seen a 36"elm in Ohio since the 60's . They might be real lucky to hit 20" maybe 2 feet at the most before they die .

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Damn nice axe collection ... looks like he knows how to use them too

 

[tntree]

in the afternoon we loaded a ~ 30" pine in his chip trk with the Boxer 320 and the used Thomas. He's thinking about getting an Articulating Machine, got to send him aquote on a Boxer 732, left for home at about 6:30pm drove all night crawled into bed with my sweety at 5:30 am all in all 1500 miles in 3 days - left with 5 machines came back with 2

 

[sawinredneck]

SO................. I could have had the nicer Thomas after all HUH???????????????? I see how you are

Glad to hear you made it back alright Dave! I was a true pleasure to have met you! Sorry I wasn't up to par and the wind didn't cooperate!!!

 

[SkwerI]

Andy, you could have had the nicer Thomas if you would have pried open that crusty wallet of yours.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I think he made out just fine... I wish I could open my wallet and afford one of dem... maybe when Andy upgrades I'll buy his.. LOL
SOMEDAY.... I will probably end up with a regular crawler tracks up here though.. mini won't go in many places in our terrain.....

 

[sawinredneck]

My wallet isn't crusty, I think that might be the problem

Even Dave, "Man, I seen all those tools you had in that garage, mama must not be that mean to you!"

 

[stehansen]

Glad the mini is working out for you Andy.

 

[sawinredneck]
