Yesterday I took the ole 340,000mi dually dodge and towed the 9,000lb F350 flatbed over the mountains for repair. Picked up a 1500lb hay grinder (mulcher) rotor. Dropped off the Ford. Went up to the higher mountains, spent the night, and cut and loaded a few thousand lbs of beetle kill oaks on...

I had something similar happen. It was/is a dead silver maple that we set up on and found the tree needed a crane, way too rotten to rig anything and over the garage, two fences, and formal garden so cut and chuck was out. Bailed out, new price, new estimate, she didn’t get back to me and six...

Or it gets the chainsaw again

It puts the wood in the basket.

Good, dry day. One set of customer: 2 apples pruned, Ben and I levered a small peach out at the roots. Other customers: fell the hard leaning maple that the husband started beavering, who the wife convinced to wait., leaning cherry on a heavily sweeping butt, flop a maple without...

The other half of this madrona smashed off by a falling snag. There is a primary power line over the building running parellel to the ridge. I had an 80-90' TIP in an adjacent-ish fir. Leaned more than it was tall.

i can see where a rigid grapple might be useful but maybe could get me into trouble also? will a klou type grapple roll the machine over faster?

Testing! Testing!

Dunno, I was speaking completely from experience.

So the strato is the petzel padded one?

I keep thinking about that. It occurred to me that my tree work is after hours…so you’d either be doing the whole thing yourself or nothing while I was working. Most of my jobs pay little or nothing, labor trade etc. That being said, I’m bidding 10 beetle kill oaks in the mountains, a couple...

Sorry, wrong thread.

YEAH! Dats da one Rob wears! Heavy as all get out, but if I had Rob's job under us, I'd want nothing less! He says it's hot as blazes(and I agree) but it's an armored layer that's solid and secure. My biggest piece of advise is to wear a DuRag or some such head cover. If you have long hair, it...

Whenever you need me David. I'm just three weeks out now, so there's that...

I have a protos, partly because the lad has one and it made the fitting of comms a bit easier. Very expensive but I keep mine in a box in the cab rather than rattling around in the back of the van, so should last a good while. They’re heavy so the odd day I will wear the old husky forestry...

Sadly, too many people waited until the ash was super extra crispy before dealing with them. It would have been cheaper to have dealt with them when they had some green left in them.

Miriam stayed busy elsewhere. New Ben and I worked for a regular. High TIP shot into a tall fir to give some backup and easy of climbing a compromise Madrona. Took down a forest ash that would otherwise die once EAB hits.

The amount of fun I've had with a shovel and a bit of skill... Your wife is crazy for not joining in!
