    Work vs life

    How many hours a week do you guys do you guys work? How many hours a day do you work on days that you work? How many days a month do you do family stuff rather then work (weekends included)? I've always been a wierdo, and before the wife and kids i would work a ton. I'm talking like 5 16s...

    Wire rope stuff

    @cory you were mentioning how your slings are getting kinked and hard to use, maybe you might want to look into something like these.

    Dumpster bags

    Has anyone tried one of these? Basically a tarp dumpster, complete with straps for moving/ lifting with a machine. Some are priced for the garbage company to come pick up, but i was thinking of reusing them type stuff, such as rakings. Thoughts...

    Ground lead rigging

    As I just made it home, i was relaxing and decided to pick up the fundamentals again. I noticed a section on ground lead rigging, where you put a block at the base of the tree and run it over to another tree or vehicle or something. While i have done that to pick stuff before, and use my truck...

    Saddle fine tuning/ adjustments

    I'm still climbing on my heavily modified weaver cougar, which i love. One of the modifications i did was adding the rigging plates for my leg to saddle connection. As i was playing around with my new rrp, i started to think i might have them a bit too far in. Where do you guys have yours, as...

    Kyles redneck builds/ ideas

    Intro: skip to the end, it's likely too long, and basically says I'm gonna post future/ current projects here rather than boring people to tears with a bunch of different threads. So, as i get older, i find that my time is being pulled in many directions. I'm pushed forward in my pipefitting...

    Chuck and duck/ old school drum chipper adjustments

    So i played around with my chipper that i thought had a bad injector and got it running pretty good again. My question is you have a few adjustments on them, and they perform much better when adjusted right. I have a manual somewhere, no idea where. From what i can tell the feed rate is...

    Old school radiator repair

    We got some top shelf mechanics here, got a question. On my 52 case backhoe the radiator finally went. Got it pulled, there are 4 tubes that have blown right at the top. Brazed ends, think the core is aluminum but not sure yet. A new radiator is like 400, and its time i learn to fix these. Lol...

    Dot and CDL stuff

    I searched for some threads on this here, and am not aware of any yet, which is kinda surprising if that's the case. Anyways rules continuously change, so maybe it will be worthwhile. As I'm sure you all know, i got a new dually last year, and i have a handful of trailers too. The truck has a...

    Random intoxicated thoughts... possibly nsw

    I always wished i remembered hilarious, thoughtful, or otherwise completely random thoughts while drinking (or otherwise lol) so i figured this would be a good place to collect them.... Even though i live in a different hotel room every week, how do i always manage to remember the room number...

    Derrick rigging and redneck cranes

    I'm putting this in the rigging area because I think that's where I guessed it should go, if you want to, feel free to move it to the gear section or wherever you feel it should be (garbage can, etc lol). My day job is heavy pipe construction, and as part of our apprenticeship, they have over a...

    Winch bed and trailer build

    I'm going to be building a bed for my 96 f250, and I've decided on building a winch bed so I can change beds out according to what I'm working on, but still use the same truck. Winch beds are used like a rolloff, but are dramatically simpler, consulting of only a flatbed, headache rack, a...

    Completely random but awesome knowledge

    I've been thinking of starting a thread about useful info for awhile now, nothing trade specific but just handy things to know. Kind of like tips for doing random things that most of us come across. So here's a few that I learned lately 1. Penetrating oil Never buy penetrating oil again, just...
