Talking ground speed on the tracks

Stump grinders are small and light, and only spin a wheel, basically. A lift is and does so much more. No surprise it's slower.

$500, 18 years ago, for a tough access stump.

Seems like a cribbing thread could hold its own. I'm curious how people manage slopes. When I ran a bucket, the manual said no more than 5 degree slopes, IIRC. The lift was spec'd for 2 outriggers, but it was built with 4. Versa-lift. We set up level, but the flat metal outriggers were right...

I might anchor it uphill with a chain to something solid, to give me a bit more piece of mind, before flying.

I would use a clinometer for sure in San Francisco.

i can see how a bag could rupture. Some Japanese sometimes don't like to spur trees they're removing, as it disrespectful, apparently from Jay's anecdotes. They do weird things over there, including sandbag plus wood cribbing. I suspect pics are in the Paul's/ PCTree's Grove crane thread.

What's it run a month to finance, roughly?

IDK how you most situation is. Might want to scrub the outrigger pad placement before dunnage. Maybe Jay's sandbag methods.
