What kind of abuse, chipping big hardwoods?

Anyway, fine looking machine.

Nice!

 

[treebilly]

Nice prune job.

Cory the abuse would be my bosses brother. That man should be a tester for equipment durability. He would never make it as an employee but since he is part owner he can't be fired.

 

[cory]

Oh geez!

 

[treebilly]

yeah. My insane place of employment. It's crazy but for some reason I'm still there. Of course this may also explain why I have a drinking problem

 

[cory]

 

[MasterBlaster]

I have NO problem drinking!

Love the leafy graft pic

+1!

Never have seen that before

 

[Grendel]

Crazy right? I can't believe things were ever still enough to allow for that, being on an inland lake and all. . .

Thanks guys

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Prune we did yesterday after I took down that split hazard tree fodder....

 

[squisher]

Great looking prune job.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Sharp!

 

[cory]

Cool double tie in.

You are a top climber, there are 8 million dead trees in your hood needing attention, you are booked till January.....I think you should upgrade your tractor, get that new branch manager thingy!! You know how it is, if one has the work, the equipment pays for itself no problemo

You just put a new motor in your mini, that'll make it quicker to sell

^^^^Dittio^^^^

Stephen, you rolling on the right way.

 

[Grendel]

Yes!! You're killing it out there Stephen. Seriously high end stuff man! Expert.

Still on the park trees. Big hemlock slaughter planned for tomorrow.





Also got the pad laid for a new string of garages up at the Club, and all the new dry transformers are in for the big electrical upgrade. Busy times man, busy times.





Cheers!!

 

[treebilly]

What are the spots on that pad? Electrical outlets or drains?

 

[Grendel]

Drains

What's with the old fire truck off to the side...?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Thanks guys. Nice thing has been climbing live trees and pruning them.... Soooooo tired of dead poles .....
Cory, we need two loaders and I will probably never sell the mini. It has it's niche. Tracks work where wheels don't. It fits great with the mill in that it can slide under the mill rails with a load or take on out better than most larger loaders. I really need to fix two trucks so I can tow around more kit too.
Down side of this job has been the hazard mitigation. Another company came in and did some felling. Trashed a bunch of oaks. Split and broken from being hit. Sketchy shit.

Here is the one I posted the video of. Split down the middle. Definitely barber chair material. Bound it all up and felled it by boring the hinge. Pulled it over with the big skid steer on the project. Shot a pull line through both leaders so it would help bind them together. That is the 066 with a 36 bar. Broke the 10k strap binder I had on it. You can see it fly in the video

Interesting stump... That's one of those: "Cut the face as deep as you can before you run out of guide-bar," cuts. I dun many of em myself. And then on the back it's like, "Dog around to the far-corner and cut up a bit, and then power back to the near corner, and then sweep a bit."... and then the dang thing goes before you can square it up. I done a ton of those.

Willie: Good to see the pics, brother... keep crankin em out.

Sam: Wow, man... you're a man of many labors. When's vaycay?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Here is one more pic from the milling that went on. The lower portion of a 1/2 dead tree turned out as millable. So Rob made a table slab. Tad bigger than 36" at the base opposite the union. Should make a Nice table.

What's with the old fire truck off to the side...?

Old international 4x4. We use it as a brush truck for wildland. It's got a huge pump.
