| Hey Ekka, We still have our share of hackers here. If i drive by a job i've bid and it's been done right that's fine but when i see poor quality pruning etc. that stinks! Hey Trev McRev, The truck saves labor and workers comp insurance, etc. It definately seems to be working out. As long as I'm careful and don't overload it or something it should work out great. It'll be paid for in three years so if it holds up I'll be rid of that nasty 3300 per mo. payment! |

| As always your photos fascinate me, mainly because the technique is so far removed from anything I've done, never having had a radio controlled anything! Plus not being permitted here (thats a quess it might be legal in other states don't know). Interested in what tree you were removing? Also whats the tree to the left in the first photo in bloom? (very nice!) and....man your truck is shiny!

| No doubt about that bit of equipment. Looks like there's plenty of work for it too, good on ya. Great pics and some big wood on the back of the truck. ![]()

| I'm glad you guys liked the photos. Thanks! Boa the tree with leaves just start to emerge and expand (in the left of the first of the six photos) is Quercus alba/ white oak (great trees but they're rarely planted here anymore.) 2 of the removals are Acer sacharinum/ silver maple. The other ( the trunk pick out of the deck and logs on the truck) was Quercus macrocarpa= the best oak in the midwest u.s. They often live 200+ yrs., but this one died a few years after being hacked/topped by a self proclaimed tree expert! |

| Very nice ![]() That looks like a go anywhere unit and judging by that last pick it has a great capacity. The wheels are wild, real wide rubber, no getting stuck in mud. I went to the specs page ... Quote:
