Brian, what kind of tree was that?

Brett is correct, a camphor tree. They grow like weeds and are quite heavy when green.

Forks help with big pieces, scooping from down low seems to lift more

I just bought pallet forks but don't have the trailer modified to carry them yet. I'm going to put two slots in the side of the bed, under the deck, so I can load them from the side of the trailer. One bar or strap to secure them.

All I have used on an avant is pallet forks, combined with a hydraulic thumb.

If you have a chance to get the root rake grapple, do it! Very well made and designed. You can do so much with it.

That does look pretty handy.

Nothing special but got the tree done and cleaned up in under 3 hours so I’m pretty proud of myself 😁

Well you had a bucket truck and a guy with a backhoe to do the cleanup.

Thump...Brian bringing TinyHulk back down to earth,
Good clean job there for sure

Strange looking house Matt. You don't usually see brutalist(?) residences. Almost looks like used to be something else.

 

[TINYHULK]

May have been. It was out by the beach so some rich ladies home. Yeah it was an easy job. Only real obstacle was the occasional truck and the one street sign. Had the tree done and on the ground in 1.5 hours. Took us that time again to finish clean up. Sometimes the boss has us take the bucket truck and my first thought is “that would be such a fun climb! I don’t want to use the bucket lol 😂 “

 

[Nutball]

If it's a pine, use the bucket

 

[TINYHULK]

Yeah definitely a cleaner job that way. It just always seems all the fun jobs are done with the bucket and the butt busting jobs are done climbing. I want some fun climb jobs sometimes. I need some more tight back yards 😁😁😁

Be careful what you wish for, grasshopper...

I fell in love with climbing when I was a landscaper. Making not a penny more in a tree than on a mower. Climbing came before trees, bucket trucks, or the money. I’ll set a line in a tree and get my butt kicked by it any day before I take a fence down to get a bucket truck on the job. Don’t get me wrong. I love the easier days of making good money but the climbing is where my passion truly is

Nice work Andrey. Pain in the ass stuff, but it looks good when you're finished.

Bartlett job here in my town. Guess the crane op was a tad hung over….

That's a lot of detail! Bet you weren't expecting that Bermy.

 

[flushcut]

Am I reading that right 441 ton? That’s a big boat or is that considered a ship?

The crew consists of 51 people, including 32 trainees (age 14-18 years).

Vessel class - KM(*)[1] R2 special purpose ship of the Russian Maritime Register of Shipping (RS)[3].

The register number is 885379. IMO number is 8827038. Call sign: UFW.
