    Roberts a top notch dude, Looks like you guys had fun!

    I never really forget anything of necessity. The truck is setup with everything needed to do standard tree work. Two truck boxes hold everything. Saws and blowers go in the chipper infeed, or the truck bed. Any job out of the ordinary is when I have to add things. Maybe an extra rope, rake, yada yada.

    I replied but lost during the switch. Get a mini! LOADS of uses.... here's a couple perfect examples. No access for my chip truck, but the 1500lb mini brought the 5000lb chipper into the backyard to blow chips on the hill. Another job below...I didn't want to drive the chip truck all over their lawn, so the mini brought the chipper to the tree!

    I like your guys trucks. I am thinking you make dump trips ALOT. I have a small rig by US standards, holds a good bit for what I do.

    Haha. Here it is on one of my jobs....

    Thought you guys might enjoy these. I was hired in because my buddy hurt his shoulder in a car accident, and had this Pine TD. We used his Tuepen 23 GT, and a 35ton crane. The yard was tight but we were allowed to use the church parking lot. Done in about 2- 2.5 hrs. Trunk wood weighed in about 3000lbs +. It was my first crane job, and 2nd time being in the spider lift.

    Mines a Thomas, yep. They don't make the mini skid line anymore. Ed sells Ramrods from what I understand. A nice machine also.

    Your ability to balance limbs like you do really amazes me. Nice vid.

    I use a mini skidsteer....there is plenty of brands to pick from. Would quit tree work tomorrow if for some reason I had to get rid of it.

    Indeed Beech roots do graft. Looked this morning.

    Stihl here. I like my dealer, the Husky dealer locally suck. I really do not like the flimsy start/stop/choke whatever you call it. 200t, 361, 460, br600, bg55?, ht-131, BT45 drill, and more....

    I almost want to say I've seen exposed Beech tree roots grafted to each other at one point, I'll look next time I'm near the tree I'm thinking (in the back yard). I'm not sure if it's something you are going to pin down 100%, but other factors could be involved. Like said, sun scald and wind.

    Very nice. Here's one we did out of a triple stemmed Maple. The center stem pretty much just fell out from the included bark so we just made it into to backrests.
  15. BrendonV
    Why do you remove all your videos?

    It was a Silver Maple. She was worried about it splitting during a storm and taking out the power. The union was bad, soil and water filled and split on impact.

    Little tree we killed today.

    KISS. I carry an extra climbing biner, and an accessory biner to through on the big saw handles to clip to my saw lanyard. Of course all the usual's like handsaw, lanyard, saw lanyard, and prusik setup.

    I really enjoy your vids. Wish you still had the old ones up on u-tube.

    I feel better from it, knowing I'm not alone. Now if we can just get rid of the rain here we've been having.
  21. BrendonV
    I don't know cheap. Expensive stuff seems to call me. Here's one of my hobbies, cost 2X my daily driver pickup.

    Thanks for bringing this up. I really have never told anybody all the crap inside. From the moment I wake up in the morning, my heart starts racing. Sometimes I'll even wake up an hour, hour and a half early before the alarm because the day is already on my mind. I'm young (23), and have tryed to tell myself chill out man, but I have this notion in my head I have to do X amount this week or else. I've lost a good friend almost 2 years ago now. I'm not sure if it's related to whats going on but there's a possibility. My business was one year old before it happened, I loved going out to work, even though sometimes I wouldn't make as much as I'd like. Buying new equipment was exciting, even though I didn't have the money for it. Now that it's all payed for, it's really not a financial worry on my mind. I've really got no motivation either.

    Both days were in the 20's.

    If I can only have the diesel you guys have in mine, I'd be a happy man.
