At the time btw, I didn't have a compressor, I kept it 'clean ' with a leaf blower.:|: Religiously, but yeah, nah

Truck was running hot, brought it to mechanic who had to remove and separate the radiator and clean it

I learned that the hard way when I had a forestry body, blowing off regularly wasn't enough.

True. I guess the forestry body is at least a deterrent which sometime can be enough

Meh. Those doors can be pried open and ripped off toot sweet. And then the rods can be worked on. Ya know, by enterprising addicts.

Ha I like that. But I'd guess their entire lifestyle was considerably more laid back, so while they're was likely bouts of manic activity, overall things were more mellow. Heck they had to be, their nutrition sucked! Any of you read any of those books on how use of fire enabled humans to bloom?

Kyle, when you can I think you'd enjoy this article about A look at the varied diets of hunter/gatherer groups contrasted with that of typical modern society. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/18/w...mentsContainer

I think they did, based on what Ive read about current stone age style hunter gatherer societies, like the Hadza

Kyle- :drink:

Chit's getting real!!:lol: :thumbup:

I think it has made the wiser among us much stronger and healthier. The hot polloi may be struggling if they choose to eat crap food. The basic challenge remains of making a living, it seems to me. That is a fascinating premise. Makes sense on the face of it at least.

Great points, Kyle. And I also agree re your grapple assertion- I think of our wheeled loader as a mini crane, it handles everything up to 15' high! 8) Dave, I do have a lot or admiration for Mayer Tree. They are tree men just like all of us and have carved out a large niche in their area with...

I never said it looks good, I simply stated this is currently the cutting edge of tree removal, afaik. And the engineering and capability is amazing. Down the line, I suppose that machines will continue to reduce the need for manpower in tree work. It's the way of the human brain. Lots of...

This machine is far more heavy duty, shorter, and has far greater capacity. Different beast for similar application. A treemek could work tighter spots I expect

Not positive but I doubt it. Mayer went to Stockbridge for Arboriculture, started small, borrowed heavily (he's the one that said 'as you sign the note for new iron, if you don't feel like throwing up, you didn't buy enough iron), and was in the right time/right place when the feds decided to...

They love that chassis.

For sure

For sure but I'm confident they are making big bucks with it 4-5 days/week year round. They do tons of utility, municipal, commercial, and residential. They have a fleet of ultra productive Grove cranes. They have a Sennebogan which is like a high reach wheeled excavator with a saw head and...

The pressing question is: How exactly are there any trees left in Massachusetts?

Lol. Mayer treeco has a license to print money. Street legal FB, I like that, and yeah it is. But a FB lives and dies by constantly cutting max wood as you describe. This thing does tree jobs where wood is merely a byproduct. Granted they have the huge chippers etc to keep up with that thing...
