I meant to post these pictures as well:

That is sweet the way it is usable, saves a vehicle and driver.

Was there a learning curve to riding it? Imo PPE for sure. I'd probably go with gloves as well as helmet and kneepads probably wouldn't be a bad idea.

Er, um, how'd I not know or forget you have a grapple truck? Have you ever posted vids of it?

Definitely a learning curve for me as I've never done board things (skate board, snow board, wake board)... but nothing crazy to get a basic competency conveying myself in public. There are people who can do gymnastics on them, I'm decidedly not there. I've only busted it a couple times, neither were problematic physically. A buddy that wake boarded was able to hop on it and ride around a parking lot way better than I could the second day.

I bought that grapple truck used in Nov 2021. It's handy, but now that we have the MRT, it mainly hauls rakings and logs. I'd like to get a different truck, perhaps with a z fold loader on the front and a dump bed (or hooklift hoist) so we could chip in it as well. Maybe a JMAC, but it has a bypass grapple which isn't good for rakings/small material.



We really thought this setup was fire 😂 Still have the truck, the lift is 22' taller (and we don't use it), the mini skid lifts 2x what the ASV did, and the grinder gained 80hp. I sold the trailer.

[stikine]

I think so if you are planning on a single fell.
With cable assist.

Most of the fence is coming down

Customer is talking about maybe removing the limbs over the road. I think only light tip reduction. Thoughts?

Thanks

 

[friedrich]

not knowing anything about the species, i would go with light reduction/ clearence pruning for the road.

Coast live oak. Previous cuts are not healing over, not a good sign. Probably weakened, but removing large limbs probably worse.

 

[SeanKroll]

Clearance for the road. Structural pruning for bad structure, if present, e.g. a badly included fork may warrant some gentle reduction.

You're not looking at freak ice- loading, right?

No ice. I need to get up there and look closer but there may be structural issues from those unhealed cuts and breaks. Unfortunately, removing them would be more than gentle.
