The Official Work Pictures Thread

Thanks mang
Work is getting faster and faster... Now we just need one more head set and a self feeding chipper.

Oh, to have a self-feeding chipper!!!!


I know what you meant.

How is your chipper access now that you have the mini for moving brush?

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Mini also moves chipper... LOL
Access is sweet. Still have terrain issues from time to time. But we are working on some of that with the jobs we are taking on. Bid the really steep jobs "I really would care not to" high and deal with it accordingly. Mini makes a good small yarder as well. Well.. with proper rigging it does

Still waiting to hear about one of our friendly competition that has closed. He has a 6" self feeder I am interested in knowing more details about and purchasing from him. His wife told me he is holding onto everything for now as he is not sure he will be completely out of the game as yet. He subbed me as a climber a few times. But he never had the chipper with him. I was just a contract climber for him on a few. Material stayed on site handled by the HO on those. But he did offer it to me in a way, asking if I was interested in it if he closed shop. I told him I would be and would like to come take a look at it. Wifey said he is just taking a break to make a decision about what he wants to do.. I will be patient and keep building my credit.

Only one broken rafter(2x6) and a couple punctures in the roof. Amazing, to say the least. It was a single car garage that was added to.

Nice work and pics Stephen!

Nice pics Stephen!

Lit the pile at the folks house, then went and cleaned up some trees I had knocked over last Wednesday. Impressive strength on the ex, that's a ~2'+ gum stump. The former ex could have rolled it into the dump trailer, but the new one loaded it over the side without issue. Then after looking at work, I replied the fire and that wrapped today's endeavors. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have a plan to modify the thumb to remove some of the suckiness.

Daaang! very nice; you should invent an articulated mini excavator

[Bixler]

Yeah Carl, mod that thumb. The enclosed cab is nice.

Cool pics Stephen, nice trunk tie.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Cool Iron Carl!

Yeah Brian ... sometimes you just have to put a leash on em..

 

[woodworkingboy]

Wonder if Carl's burn pile can be seen from the international space station?

 

[lumberjack]

I'm sure at night the light could be seen, although it might be hard to discern it from a city light source (parking lot lighting maybe) without a closer look.

So where does one get a self-feeding chipper, Stephen. I could do without a groundie!

We are still doing storm clean-up.
We cleared about a mile of forest road today, a formerly nice stand of mixed grand fir, hemlock and Norway spruce.
Now most of it is knocked on it's ass and If they don't clean it up fast, it'll be a breeding ground for beetles.

 

[squisher]

Looks like a lot of blow down

I can never get over how flat it looks there!

 

[FJR]

That is a neat looking wheel loader Stig, do you know what make it is?

 

[sotc]

Cool. Grapple skidder is like cheating. Everyone should have to pull a nasty ass jaggered up line skidder mainline atleast once in their life. Lol.

Our bull lines were always retired sky lines or skidding main lines, they started out jaggered!

Weidmann?

[Thor's Hammer]

Surely it will mostly go into Biomass Stig? Energi Randers are always looking for material...

 

[cory]

Thats a fine looking loader

 

[Burnham]

Indeed.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Ok OK ... Hand fed with feed roller................... More accurate?

geeeez Stig.. what a mess!

 

[Fiddler]

 

[Burnham]

Looks familiar, Stig. A whole lot of my FS saw work was like that, sans the sweet loader, sadly.

 

[rskybiz]

Few from today

The one small snag at the ex H.O presidents house go figure.

Even golf balls flying with the course so close.
