    I believe that they are purchasing from all over the world, an insatiable appetite for pulp. They like Eucalyptus for some reason, I assume that means from Australia.

    Tom, all I know about is Paper and cardboard products, and ladies sanitary items one site says. I suppose you could also say food products, if you include the pot stickers that were imported here and there ended up being a big stink about....the pork having turned out to be cardboard. :roll...

    Are distributors common? I've always wondered what the story is with them over in the west. The Chinese will buy anything now, money to burn! :D I hear that they are mad for chips currently.

    That is a large boom! Two and three section booms are much more common. Right, I believe that they are all made over here for some reason, a few different brands. You can use the boom to pack down brush in a high walled truck by pressing down on the load as you add on the chokered piles. It...

    If you don't exert care, you can tweak the boom on those pretty easily, or smash in the side of the truck. The guy here I originally did tree work with was a real expert at using one. Even with the outrigger extended, he'd pick up loads that pulled the truck up on two wheels, and I'd be afraid...

    You are right, people sometimes do get carried away with them. I've always thought that one could bring in a good income in the states as a mover of things. Unloading more than a few sheets of sheet rock or plywood by hand is unheard of here. Machinery movers, you name it, they all have one...

    When not getting them picked up, this is the way we load logs and brush when there is no large crane on site. Unic truck crane, handy dandy. It loads and unloads the mini as well. Is it common to see these running around the states now? You can't stand on any busy street for more than a...

    Haha..probby yank the stems off before the cut is completed. That isn't good on the boom.

    I guess it's the same here, really. Some areas are prone to have a lot of cranes, some aren't. Most of the crane work has always been new construction, from buildings to dams, so the cranes follow the action. The crane guy I work with as a rule, he's an anomaly in that the majority of what...

    Andy, you must not have many cranes in your area if you can't get one for less just to be sitting there ready to start charging on top of what they are already due...or, so much work that they can keep those high rates?.

    I'd be inclined to crane them down in two or three sections, then limb remove when they are on the ground. Less of a jumbled mess when it comes to cleanup. That would be fast and no damage to the ground. No problem then if weight is a concern with a single pick for the entire tree. You work...
