Looking very nice brendon

Here is a couple of pictures of my exciting stump hauling. The neighbor raises almonds and back in October a bunch of his trees blew over. Another neighbor cut the firewood and the farmer dug out the stumps and as we can't burn anymore he wanted me to get rid of them for him. I hauled them to a place where they will be put through a tub grinder and the chips used for bedding for dairy cows.

 

Why not mate?

 

Have you signed the Kyoto agreement then?

 

How much did that little lot weigh do you reckon?

[BrendonV]

Thanks.

 

Here's a tree I climbed today for another company, get it to the ground.

I would say between 8 and 9 thousand pounds. Never sign anything that doesn't make you money. My Dad taught me that.

These are some pictures of a set of ramps I made to load my John Deere into the dump trailer. My old ramps got stolen so I decided this time I would make them to slide up under the trailer. They are locked in place when not in use by those spring loaded pins. (Brendon's idea)

Top job Shansen.

 

You can weld mate.

[BrendonV]

Been working on the beak, roller fair lead mount. All that's left is to box in the bottom, and weld on the roller. Then I'll weld it to the plate, then plumb some hydraulics!

Here's a bit more guys.

[Rupe]

Good work. You get the neat workshop award too!

 

Now, do you watch american chopper by any chance? Do you have tool envy? I bet between a bunch of us let loose in the OCC shop, we'd come up with some cool stuff!!

[BrendonV]

Ha, I do envoy the tools they have. All my work is done with a 4.5" angle grinder, drill, and small welder. If I only had plasma's, english wheel, presses, band saws, I'd be in heaven.
