Not on that jib, but I have an idea along those lines, minus the expensive metal. 😂 It's the best grapple truck I've had. 500hp, automated 12 speed transmission, Rotobec loader, around 65 yards, ~44k miles on it. One day I'd like to build my own truck like I did with the...

@Nutball I could take most of those pieces at full reach over the side. The initial picks are over the blade where I'm quite stable. I'll potentially add ~1500lb of counterweight to the excavator, but so far it isn't a priority. The OEM additional counterweight is almost $6/lb, not doing...

Check out the neighboring house on the left…. Affordability won on that job. 😂. There wasn’t much grass between the houses anyways. I don’t chip. Those three fit in the 30 yard rolloff, but usually we haul tree debris in the grapple truck.

First day with the jib, worked a treat!

Made a jib for the new excavator using a plasma table and welder 😂

With 45” of access, a spider lift and spider crane seem the obvious answer to get them down. Tarps to cover the pool.

They were considerably cheaper 3.5 years ago, and I got a decent deal then. 😂. I think I have ~140 hours on it now.

Here's my grinder knocking out a 4.5' stump as measured 4' above grade. Solid stump, took 90 minutes... mountain of chips. Here's an attachment on my smaller mini ex (47hp, 13klb) And here's another video of my grinder at 8x, the first stump took under 10 minutes. This was with the...

The attachments can certainly perform... a stump grinder attachment on an excavator running a power pack would smoke most grinders, but that's outside the scope of most residential tree services. My 72hp excavator with a grinder attachment couldn't hope to keep up with my 3200lb stump grinder...

A dedicated grinder will be faster/better. An attachment will be less investment/more versatile. I have 2 tracked skids, 1 stump grinder, no grinder attachments.

I haven’t used them extensively yet, but for the price difference so far they’re an easy winner.

I was glad they were a $17 loop not a $32 loop of Stihl chain. The job was $1300 and took 75 minutes, I didn't price the chains in, but there was enough margin in the job to handle it. 😂

X Cut will, rather begrudgingly, cut through steel pile and rebar. Luckily only moderately damaged another chain cutting the other two.

He’s contacted me, I sent a password reset yesterday and a new password a few minutes ago.

Pretty consistently crappy reviews with leaks being a common issue.

A 40 hour battery life is amazing! I sprayed 70-80 gallons of herbicide this morning before work, sprayed 100 gallons Monday after work. I wish Milwaukee made a decent 1-2 gallon sprayer to use the existing batteries I have… as it stands I use a manual pump sprayer and my assistant 😂.

It can create a necked down spot in the trunk/causes more stress. Like this

Can you give an example of an electric spider you're looking at? My first thought is you're looking for a budget lift that will have crap for parts availability/affordability and will turn into a money pit almost instantly.

I'm assuming a CBN wheel is the way to go, perhaps a Baltic? I remember using pink stone wheels, I don't like the dust or the constant dressing/adjusting/fidgeting. Would I not want the Oregon 620-120 for the auto hydraulic clamp, one less thing to mess with/make the process easier?

I'll hand sharpen on the saw on the job, or replace the chain with a new chain. At some point I'll probably figure out getting a grinder, then the pile of chain will continue being an asset.
