That's fantastic. I could've used something like that when I was dicking around with those pine logs.

Guessing that was about a 5k log

Pretty bright out here sometimes… I much prefer PNW or any bog.

Is that a mimosa tree?

 

[cory]

Different islands…

So you take a boat? Plane? Submarine ?

 

[lumberjack]

Would be nice to have a grapple on the end. Maybe make it out of aluminum or magnesium to save weight.

Not on that jib, but I have an idea along those lines, minus the expensive metal. 😂

Fine looking fleet.

How do you like the Volvo?

Did you remove the lettering etc from your Rayco?

It's the best grapple truck I've had. 500hp, automated 12 speed transmission, Rotobec loader, around 65 yards, ~44k miles on it. One day I'd like to build my own truck like I did with the Freightliner/hooklift truck.

I did remove the stickers on the grinder. I plan to put my own branding on it, as well as the rest of the equipment/trucks in the near future.

Raj it’s a monkey pod tree, beauty wood grain, fun to climb and is in the fabaceae “bean” family.
Love it.

I fly around w Hawaiian airlines, I’m racking up the miles on my way to Pualani Gold member status.
It Is a life.. one place I camp outside between a chipper and a dump trailer I hang a hammock for a week...
Hawaii is limited on affordable housing.

Dang possibly the reality isn't great but that sounds wild- contract climber flying to jobs, camping out in a hammock in the yard. I like it.

 

[Bodean]

Shower from a bucket, poop in green waste pile, drinking canned coffee…. 2 blessed 2 b stressed. 😂

 

[cory]

Fug yes

I need to sit down and catch up on all the work out there. I finally got some tree work, stump grind a 5' maple. Only took a couple hours, that included playing with a dog.

 

[cory]

Lordy, did you see God before that was done!?!?

Who cut that beeotch so low?

 

[treebilly]

Found something unexpected today. Made a few calls and they were able to relocate the hive. This was after finding a doe and fawn in a small fenced area resting under a fallen tree. That was a fiasco trying to get the fawn out through a gate since it couldn’t jump the fence.

 

[Nutball]

Honeybees?

 

[treebilly]

Yes. Relocated with no injuries on our side.

 

[Maximalist]

Today I cut down 5 trees. These two birches were the most interesting -

Nice butt on that tree. You could do something interesting with that.

 

[Mick!]

My nephew in the UK, doing his first ’crane’ job.

 

[Maximalist]

A small rescue operation -

 

[Maximalist]

It would be interesting to know how each of you would solve this small problem?)

 

[Kaveman]

Much like you did sir. Whack the branches, maybe assure myself that the trunk is stable in its new position by tying it to the building, then make salad of everything and chuck it clear.

 

[Treeaddict]

Secure the tree and climb it to de limb, then maybe pull the trunk sideways or backwards

 

[Maximalist]

I used a winch to lift the barrel slightly above the roof (O), (1) - stabilizer, (2) - to pull the barrel in the right direction.

 

[cory]

Max you are a heck of a tree guy but you must me an even better salesman, finding all these jobs where you don't have to clean up the mess

 

[Maximalist]

I'm just doing my job, and other organizations are doing the cleaning up.

 

[Kaveman]

We were lent a hand today...

 

[lxskllr]

What is that thing?!
