New tower(bucket)

[skyhuck]

You have some great looking gear!!

 

Is that your work shop?

[A_lopa]

Yes mate thats were we work from,Most of my gear is pretty long in the tooth to be honest the travel tower has 600,000kms on it and my patrol has 500,000kms both original engines!!

nice truck

 

Thanks Lee hopefully it wont let me down,The 4x4 and winch will be handy thats for sure.

 

Going to make up another bumper/front rail

[Lee Winger]

She looks like a solid truck mate , I doubt she'll let you down, those Jap engines run and run..

 

I like the body design, IF I ever bought another truck I think i'd go with a open tailgate/rear like you have

[A_lopa]

Finished putting it all together at 8am and had it on the job at 10am,Goes very well in low range.

[Lee Winger]

so your back to line clearing then mate

[A_lopa]

Yes doing a bit(transmittion lines),Could be alot more in 09'(distribution) It doesnt exite me other than its easy to organise.

 

Got alot of low voltage work for 09-2010 all my guys are ticketed.If i stay in trees i bet ill be fairly big lineclearing monster in 5 years,its the only tree work you dont have to really watch employees IMO.

 

Just low margins if the utility wants to screw you with K.P.Is' and auditers from hell.

[A_lopa]

Got a nudge rail and pull points put on the nps.

 

Palm clean from tower.
