mdvaden · 25th August 2007, 09:15 PM

Hey, matches my trailer !!

That's a serious size piece of equipment.

Looks well taken care of.

Mike Poor · 25th August 2007, 09:22 PM

Super nice rig Mark!!! You're going to love that thing! In the photo it looks like you got the Hetronic brand remote too! I like the bed (do the stakes/posts on the top of the sides of the bed extend up?)

TreeCo · 25th August 2007, 09:28 PM

Awesome!

Ekka · 25th August 2007, 09:40 PM

Wow, great unit.
No running wire?

Roller · 26th August 2007, 03:11 AM

wow thats a great piece of kit, very very few UK arb company's could justify or afford a piece of equipment like that!

TrevMcRev · 26th August 2007, 03:34 AM

That thing is unreal, love it!

Are you located anywhere near Mike Poor?

I smell a bit of competition in the air

allmarktree · 26th August 2007, 04:52 AM

Mike: I did get that remote. The stakes pull out turn upside down to make them longer. On the back where the 45 is there are to full length too slots for pruners etc.
Quintex: No wire rope or winch
Trev: Im not right near Mike but I did spend time with him before I decided on mine.

allmarktree · 26th August 2007, 03:43 PM

I got called for this storm damage today. Not the greatest pics but my first jobwith the crane.

Mike Poor · 26th August 2007, 04:32 PM

Hey Trev Mcrev How ya' doin? (sorry i haven't posted much lately-been super busy!) No competition between Allmark& I at all! (He's over 1000 miles away from me!) He came out & worked with me a couple days last fall (truly good man) I tried to give him input to help him make purchase decisions. Had a good time hanging out, but we worked in the cold rain the whole time! Another company from Canada came down here last month to check out the crane. The lg tree i took down in 2.5 hrs, he said his crew would have taken 2 days! Sooooo, he ordered the same rig! I don't get anything out of this except knowing i've made someones working life easier and i can always learn something from them too! I realy think we're going to see alot more of these rigs in the industry soon! Roller any company with enough work can afford one! If a company has lots of idle time, then i wouldn't recommend splurging on one (you've also got to have good credit & some money down) If anyone ever wants to come visit, you're welcome! (i'm about 2 hrs south of chicago)

allmarktree · 26th August 2007, 05:50 PM

Yeh it was a great time working with Mike. Really helped me finalize my decision. I also learned alot of techniques for working with the knuckleboom. I hope I can find stuff to passon back and forth so we can all become more productive and safer. This kind of sharing amongst us can only help the industry and ourselves.

allmarktree · 31st August 2007, 03:56 AM

Some from this week.

Ekka · 31st August 2007, 05:59 AM

Darn that thing has some reach!

Gee you get some storms with them busted trees, been a long time since we have had some decent damage here.

Very nice units.

Roller · 31st August 2007, 10:28 AM

This guy has the biggest hi-ab i've ever seen it has a 90 odd foot reach, he's just over the water in Northern Ireland
