My little Bandit is parked behind a snow pile right now Tom. Everything I've done for the last few months has been no cleanup. . . Boooo! haha

Got a nice branchy maple to do away with once the ground stiffens back up. . . That'll call for the chipper and dump truck. Hopefully early next week.

Willie that country is just. . . amazing. You and that state above you, it just blows my mind.

Cheers

Willie what's the reach on that thing? And capacity at full reach?

 

[cory]

Willie your truck looks much more beefy from above!

 

[cory]

Rich, that chipper is so nasty looking, post more pics!

 

[SeanKroll]

Massive, Sean. Had to produce a lot of chips...you get to leave them?

Interesting idea about the "wedge"...thanks.

Small urban lot... About 9 yards. Would put stump chips in, too, to max the load, but that darn sun went away. Hauled at the end of the day. Going to a CHIPDROP.IN residential dropsite $20 paid, 50/50 to tree company and Chipdrop.in service.

We got in at 630. Not a full day of production, started around 11. Some drive time.

Dug out the rock around the stump with the loader bucket and a mattock. Ended up a foot deep. Thankfully, "Ogre don't care!"

Two of us for most of the wood down, mostly bucked, stump cut/dug out and mostly ground. Found a 4" rock in between the trucks with my handy 32" Stihl rock detector.




My Stumper and I are getting better at working together and keeping up maintenance.

My employee finished the other side of my F450 box, leaving doors to build in the rear. My gf named it Gandolph, old, white and powerful 460, whereas my chip truck has a smaller 429.

Love it here. People say I'm lucky to live here, I tell them no, I chose to live here!

Willie what's the reach on that thing? And capacity at full reach?

Almost 71' of side reach. 970 pounds there

Willie your truck looks much more beefy from above!

you still need to post more pics!

 

[Sgriff]

71'?! I can't believe you could reach over the house!

 

[sotc]

Into my last extension here but not boomed quite flat as i wanted some room above the roof for flex

 

[Mick!]

That is a great machine and some great pics Willie.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Great tool Willie. Damn I would love one. Someday.
Sean, that there is the tree that just kept giving. Tons of brush. A lot of scurrying about in it as well I imagine.

 

[flushcut]

That's a nice chunk at 71'.

 

[Sgriff]

Pretty bad ass imo!

 

[Raj]

Great run of pics.

 

[treebilly]

Thanks Willie. K booms interest me a lot. I'm trying to figure out a great setup and best bang for the buck. Does anyone here run a "tree-mek" ? K-boom, grapplesaw combo. I'm supposed to set up a viewing of one soon. I doubt my boss is serious about it, but I'm willing to take the 1&1/2 hr drive to witness it for a day.

Kind of the same old same old here now that we had a break in the weather. 4 accounts, all neighbours for the whole month. With some variation. I actually got to crown raise a cedar (after taking down the dead threats to the house.
Fodder.


Hard to believe there was any green on that new natural bridge eh?
Over 36" DBH
Here is the after of the cedar. The lighting was horrible in the morning and afternoon, not as..... bad......
Dead wooded, crown raised (limbs were literally on the roof), old dead stubs from HO cuts. Left some low limbs on the bare side to help feed the stem. Had to raise those some as well since you would hit your head on them going up the path.

 

[sawman]

Nice run of pics!!
Man you got some big nice trees out your way..

 

[pantheraba]

I like the cedar. And the excavator....big thing.

 

[biggun]

Nice easy Friday. Working for a private housing association. Little deadwoods of a couple of trees and then cutting back dieing limbs from a couple of sweet chestnuts which were overhanging the railway lines. The guy I worked for spent three weeks putting a method statement together and specific risk assessment and booked it in with the trackside maintenance teams.

After all that they didn't even turn up, so we made a complaint and cracked on.

Grcs made the rigging easy.

Nice day for it and an early finish.

I like all the rope colors. And the subtle Akimbo picture

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Great stuff Rich. The Akimbo rocks. With Willie on the rigging pics. Nice stuff.

 

[biggun]

Thanks.

Nothing worse than 3 Orange ropes up a tree

 

[pantheraba]

hahaha...it almost looks like you are rigging off that cyclone fence.

Looks like a technical job well done.

 

[Levi]

Nice Rich! Looks like you're having fun at work
