Alpine tree service ,Lima Ohio .

That artwork looks to be straight outta the Sherril book. Dont let Tobe see that.

[NeTree]

I like the artwork. Not Sherril, just same style. Definitely plenty of ad space!

[Wagnaw]

Did he give you any details? Miles, recent replacements, etc...?

[Al Smith]

The phone number is on the side of it .Give him a call ,ask for Tom .

[Jonseredbred]

Would he sell just the chip box and tool boxes???

[Al Smith]

Well he has another box ,nice one ,11 footer sitting at my shop . 900 I do believe .

[Jonseredbred]

too small right now.

Ya think?

The rigging picture is so clearly right out of his catalog.

[sotc]

find the same pic in his catalog you got something, if its just similar you got nothing

[MasterBlaster]

If it's an exact copy, he may have a case, but subtle changes would prevent that.

[Wagnaw]

Tobe wouldn't even have a say. A guy named Bryan who works for davey is who actually draws all the photos. ...and he's super chill.

Tobe owns the copyright of the images in his catalog. Just ask him. :lol:

[Al Smith]

Good grief it's just a picture :what: Besides that ole Tom buys a lot of stuff from him any way . Further more old Tom is a trimmer he isn't in the biz of selling arborists and loggers supplys so the point ,if any is moot .

I'm a thinkin a couple of you folks would make good bar room lawyers .:lol:

That's funny... when I organized ISA's photo database, I asked Tobe and Bryan who I should credit for the photos (many of which are in the sherrill catalog), and they told me that they were still Bryan's. Tobe just payed to have them in his catalog I'm pretty sure.

It is just a picture Al and no big deal really. I only mentioned it because Ive spoken with Tobe and Sean in the past about using illustration from their catalog, and was told they could be used with permission for education ONLY. And that ANY use for personal marketing would be copyright infringement or whatever its called. They also told me they would appreciate being informed of any unauthorized use so they could take legal action.

Thats the only reason I brought it up, because I know thats an illustration from the catalog.
Dont worry, Im not outting anyone, Im not that kind of guy. Just wanted to point it out is all.

Sorry for the derail. Its a nice looking truck and looks to be a good buy!

[Al Smith]

Al, whats the outside dimensions of the body?? Height & width?? Here ya go .Southco model LL-132 .

Length 132 1/4" Width 93 1/8 " height top to bottom as shown in the pic -
63" .Over all from sub frame bottom to top of the box 71" .It has 1" steel blocks so if those were removed it would lower 1" .

Lift assembly fits dead on with the Chevy frame of 34" outside frame rails .

It looks to me like either a 4" or 5" lift cylinder of which I saw no indication of leakage but then I've never seen it in operation .

[Al Smith]

There has been some questions arising about the orange box and how I would load it . I have a double set of tram rails with 4 chain falls hanging on them in the center bay of my building .That box is shown as it was a few years back after it came from down south .

The radial drill ,shown suspended most likely weighs between 5 and 6 thousand pounds

[Al Smith]

Well the big chip hauler is gone ,on it's way to Oregon as I type .

[sotc]

oregon? where abouts?

[Old Monkey]

To your competition Willie.

[Thor's Hammer]

damn Al, I wish you could post that orange box over the water :(

[Al Smith]

oregon? where abouts? Some guy bought the thing from a site I no longer visit . Now check this out .

He directed Tom to take that thing to Freightliner and have it checked out ,wheel dyno test and all ,prepaid .He then flew in from Oregon Friday ,Tom picked him up at Dayton airport .He drove the truck ,paid Tom .Then took the truck to near Cincinnati to have it shipped and Tom took him back to Dayton to catch a westbound silver bird back to Oregon .

Whoever it was knew all about buying used trucks .

I did learn something though . It seems most of these type trucks are made on the east coast and are cheaper here than west ward .

Oddly enough though it seems chippers are more expensive .As a matter of fact Tom is on his way westward today to pick up a self feeder he found someplace . It seems his old chuck and duck Lindag needs some work and he doesn't want to be without a chipper at the moment .
