The Official Work Pictures Thread

Proper training would be nice to have, I sometimes get skeered that the ex is going to tip over. I see more advanced people rock and roll it with abandon. Sometimes jobs will specify a person with training and the license that comes with it. I have to sneak on.

I am thinking something like this, less the detachable cab and the like. I agree about the steering as opposed to articulating.

Haha I was trying to keep the cost down to a more manageable figure using more commonly available parts and technologies!


Jay, they're pretty stable! Swinging a load over the side can be more exciting, keeping the load as low/close as practical helps a good bit.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Awesome, Bud, but I would shut off the mood music.

Nice photo, Carl, got your ass up in the air there.

 

[lumberjack]

...Where's that grapple Carl?

Still haven't made time to work on it. The job it's for is being postponed by the clearing and now added dirt work. I might have time this week to get the metal for build the jib although it'll be next weekend at the earliest before I can get to building it. Still haven't fully figured the design, but it's getting closer.



Yeah, Jay. I was trying to get the stump to slide out of the hole. I had to place some logs (as seen in front of the push blade) under me (perpendicular to the tracks) so I wouldn't sink.

Looks a tad wet there Carl haha. Digging a pond behind that stump I see?

 

[lumberjack]

Haha no, that's just a stump hole.

Same job, this is a hole! The bottom is about 3' below the water level. This is going to be a sump for the job site, a ditch and its laterals will feed into it where a pump will pump the water across the site to a ditch which will carry it away.

 

[rangerdanger]

Wow, you're working some soupy stuff man!

I'm liking your choice of foot wear btw. Just don't walk in the mud haha.

 

[lumberjack]

Haha I swung by there yesterday and dug the hole, hourly work is nice like that . I'm trying to work out the power to the hole, then I'll set the pump and discharge and dig the ditches.

Here's the hole today, 9' of water and I haven't dug any ditches yet. Hopefully I'll get the pump set up tomorrow. Worked out the power for it this afternoon.

First time I ever saw 2 GRCS cinch a tree together prior to ... You cable that?

 

[woodworkingboy]

Was there some concern that the tree might split apart while you were working on it?

 

[sotc]

Removal. It was popping while I waited for the crew. Used 1 GRCS and a block to support that leader and the other to lower brush. Made the job a cinch

Couple pics from a job on thursday. Crane sat idle for 2 hours in the morning because of thunder, lightning, and pouring rain but after that it was smooth sailing. 4 removals total. I love crane jobs.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Outstanding!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Nice work and cool looking crane truck.

 

[mccauleytree]

Outstanding!

Thanks boss!

Nice work and cool looking crane truck.

Thanks! You should see the new 45 tonner they just finished repairing.. It was actually a rollover that they purchased and rebuilt the entire truck. It is gorgeous. A little big for tree work though, 2 drop axles make it a little tough to get in driveways for residential work.
