Brian's neighbor needed a tree cut down so Tractor Time with Tim loaded up the Kubota LX3310 with the Skid-Lift and the Deere 2038R with a new Precision Manufacturing grapple. Chris, a church friend and retired farmer, joined in the fun.

Fun video to see the lift in action, and how it could be used in several ways. I like the battery Stihl saw. If my old Stihl quits, I’ll have to get the battery one. Good team effort, and fun to see someone learn and appreciate the features of a grapple. Blessings to all.

@Harry-zz2oh 3 жыл бұрын

I have a brand new Stihl gas chain saw (18") which I inadvertently bought on eBay. It cost less than at the local dealer, but I was only looking, not planning to buy one yet. Somehow I ended up with one. Soon I'll get it going so I can cut down some trees. Most of the time I use one of my electric saws which are so much handier to use and weigh so much less. Unless Tim wants to buy it?

@larryalbertson3042 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve been using a scissor lift for quite a few years now for tree work you just got a watch for branches coming back and hitting the lift but I remedy that with a pole saw so I can keep my distance from the base of the tree when I’m trimming the tops. The cordless pole saws work really slick they are a lot less weight and you’re not getting all the fumes.

@kdegraa 3 жыл бұрын

Cutting tree branches with pole saws is generally easier and safer than with a standard chainsaw.

@Harry-zz2oh 3 жыл бұрын

@@kdegraa I have an electric pole saw. The only issue I have is the fact it is not weighted enough at the base. Most of the weight on my mine is at the end where the chain is which makes it awkward to use.

@kdegraa 3 жыл бұрын

Our pole saw is a cheapo unit from Aldi. I think it cost around $100. It’s battery powered so the weight of the battery counters the weight of the motor, bar & chain. It’s pretty good but I’m thinking of replacing it with a Ego pole saw. I already have the powerhead for the pole saw so it’s a matter of just buying the attachment which costs around $240 in Australia. A bit more expensive but I think it would be quite balanced as both the motor and the battery is at the operator end of the machine.

@larryalbertson3042 3 жыл бұрын

I have a stihl power head combi when I’m on the lift I use it w/o the extension pole and it balances really nice, otherwise I use the Milwaukee cordless system since that’s what my other tools are.

From the title and thumbnail I’d say no on the grounds that it wound be unstable with the tiny wheels but since it’s got legs and attached to the tractor I don’t think it would be that bad. A boom lift would be better since you can keep the machine away from the tree base and not risk damage or injury.

Shared and SAVED!!! As a Novice Tree Cutter, I can see potential safety problems. The biggest hazard is the inability to avoid a barber chair as there is no way to get away from the cutting area.

The tree company down the road from me has been using a scissor lift for years for pruning and taking down trees. They specialize in working in trailer parks and the lift works best because of the confined spaces as the lots are so small. In areas that are to tight for the lift they use an old arial ladder fire truck that can reach over quite a few trailers safely.

@johngrossbohlin7582 3 жыл бұрын

This pretty well validates my previous comment that such a lift could be useful for the maintenance of rail trails by volunteers. There are often widow makers, branch encroachments, vines, etc. that could be safely removed by volunteers with the aid of such an attachment. For the various rail trails that I'm associated with we've got trained volunteers (e.g., Game of Logging or Arborist training), and in some cases DPW crews, who can handle the removal of hazard trees (felling and/or bucking). I think a scissor lift could work well as we don't have to go all the way around the trees. We're concerned with the hazards that are over or otherwise could fall on the trail. As an aside, some of the comments that trail users make when they come across volunteers would have you think that there are trail fairies that magically make the trails safe... The reality is there are dedicated volunteers who typically bring their own tools, equipment, and vehicles to perform the work. With COVID the trail use has exploded and the need for inspection and maintenance has exploded with it to keep everyone safe.
