Old super happy customer dog.

Good stuff Grendel,.

Not inconsiderable cedar today, mostly crash'n'bash stuff, no action pics but here's the last lump getting moved.

 

[Grendel]

Nice! What a great little machine eh?

 

[stig]

Bet you love that lil' blue machine, Mick.
That is pretty impressive.

 

[flushcut]

Hydraulic muscle!

 

[SeanKroll]

How's your grapple quest?

 

[Merle Nelson]

She's a beauty!!!

 

[Sgriff]

Nice girth!

 

[Mick!]

How's your grapple quest?

Good question! Nearing its end hopefully. I couldn't import one from the US due to certification issues, after a merry go round a fabricator in Wales is making one as we speak.

I was moaning about it on an owners forum and MultiOne themselves came on to say they're starting making them for the machines this autumn.

Too late for me but there you go.

 

[SeanKroll]

Worth the trouble!

You'll love it!

Is France out of good fabricators?

More dead and dying ash

Got the humbolt right on my first attempt today for a big top.

"Grapple Quest"

Has a certain ring to it.

Dayum Rich👍
You took that face deep,nice shot. Is that a 66?

 

[treebilly]

661 Sam. And the face was a bit deep but I wanted to undermine the COG just to make sure it would tip. Had a storm blowing in and winds got to be a bit of a nuisance. Had a couple of wedges palmed in for gusts. It went with a good bit of hinge though.
I'm beginning to hate ash. The cleanup takes forever

Local Phoenix area hardwood...



These are from yesterday. Cute little 'Sissoo dalbergia' removal, super heavy and hard wood. Excellent hinging ability. Had a nasty side/back lean over a fence, window, and propane tank. Laid right on the hinge with a little tug from the truck.

Can't seem to get a break from the heat, 109° or something like that yesterday the truck said.

Can see the angle of the lean kind of in this one.

Stubs were left strategically as I was piecing this tree in a specific order (using attached branches to shield possible targets) some had to be rigged still (which is why the larger diameter stuff I left til later.)

 

[treebilly]

Looks like they grow well there by the looks of that hinge wood.

 

[SeriousTreesAZ]

Pretty damn fast growers that tree is only 20-25yrs roughly

 

[Sgriff]

thats some growth there.
I thought 109 is cool for your part of town!

 

[SeriousTreesAZ]

It's cool but we have had humidity too, plus that's air temp, with reflective heat from houses and air conditioning units among everything else it gets hotter. One day this year 122° with 40-50% humidity. Thought I was going to die.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I had a sissoo at my house in Scottsdale. Loved that tree. Shaded the whole front of my house in less than 10 years. Nice fragrance too.

More rigging less dumping helps. Just wait until they get really crispy year, year and half after death: splat instant firewood length.

 

[treebilly]

That one had leaves yet Rajan. But yeah at a year and a half dead they just crumble. I honestly want to try a power angling broom for the skid loader. Like a brocie broom they use on road work. I also need to look around at the shop because we used to have a rake attachment for a walk behind mower I could tweak for the mini.

 

[SeanKroll]

Anyone use a power broom on a Kombisystem?

 

[Mick!]

Yes Sean, use mine for clearing up grindings. It's good for that.

 

[Sgriff]

Ah hell i was just joshin ya!
