Pretty decent but sometimes we get a foot or more, so the bigger tractors are better

@@metaspencer I'm in North Dakota, so a "foot or more" is still fall or spring to us. LOL

@@toddjenest3212 gotcha. yeah, I like a heavier machine for moving snow

Hahahahha there ya go! Exactly

Good to hear!

Check a chart. Depends on distance and load. Don’t go too thin

absolutely :) gets air to the welding burns

@@metaspencer exactly!

I'll be doing the bagged rope thing this week -- glad to hear it works out!

nice ... yeah, pretty decent equipment

hang in there and stay cool!

You can set the system up that way, with each thermostat calling for water off the heated loop. But we have just kept it simple: each radiator is either off or on, no thermostats. works great in our home

@@metaspencer yea K.I.S.S. makes the most sense to me. is it just turning the valve off from manifold or off switch on radiator? see a know on top right on one so assume it’s a fancy ball valve on the actual radiator? thanks for the video and reply looks awesome

@@EricPurington we can do it either way: turn things on and off at the radiators or at the manifold. I prefer the manifold. we typically just run 2 or three radiators and the house is nice and toasty

When I find the crew I'll let them know there are leaders somewhere

Cool idea and nicely adjustable

Great to hear! Thanks buddy

long enough to get a good connection into the framing members below

yeah that mini brings the power for sure -- so nice to move that amount of material so quickly. As for that first bid (the super rotten maple) I thought long and hard about it and devised a way that I think I'll be able to get it down. So I bid the job and they accepted the offer. I bought one extra rope I'll need for the job and I will likely post a vid about it before too long. sketchy, but I think it'll work out. With that said, though, I DO turn away jobs every few weeks. It happens

yup you said it

thanks buddy -- yeah, sometimes the headaches kick in ... you know how it is

Oh yeah! will be splitting it this weekend ... you know how those trees are: already nice and dry

Big money! yeah, that's likely what the demands will be at the bargaining table :)

Stayed on the trunk on that one and no lean -- when they're punky or need limb work or have lean, I keep my feet on the ground

they were pretty toasted out

Big thanks! much appreciated

yeah the wood is pretty solid if you don't leave them standing too long ... I was at a property the other day with 58 dead ash trees. crazy stuff

@@metaspencer WOW, its all goin away.

A company actually sent me a chipper for FREE today ... one of those mini little electric units. we'll see how it goes haha

Thanks buddy! more dead ash trees around here than you can shake a crumbling ash stick at :)

the brutality! :)

You said it man ... gotta wear a lot of hats out there haha

100 percent agree! Usually rental/apartment complexes are the worst!

@@ClimbingColt the renters were like "Whaaaat? We never heard you were coming"

second, bigger machine ... I moved into a bigger one that can lift more. no problems with the first one it was just on the small side

brambles! no fun to fall into but lots of fun to nibble on

It wasn't a leaning tree and was actually pretty solid -- but always nice to get down on planet earth again ;)

books don't lie! another question for the test ;)

a lot of them big ashes around here haha

thanks love!

one guy ... that's how I roll

I joke about having a crew sometimes ... but I'm the crew

I love it all from the tree tops to the rake handle

Always a good idea to add sealant if there is any chance of water getting in there

Sounds like a great idea!

Good luck with that new business! lots to learn and figure out but you've got this!

great point -- yeah keeping debris out is always a challenge and well worth it

Fair point and understood.

Sold it after a little over a year because I bought a bigger machine. I didn't have any trouble with this one just needed something bigger (more lifting power) for my business.

I'm assuming you're following a strict anti-inflammatory diet and are maintaining your vitamin D levels while reducing stress? hang in there friend

I hope it works out for ya! mine remains a ripper after that first carb tune

thanks for checking it out -- things have changed quite a bit and these machines have become more easily available here in the U.S. ... nice machine and easier to get these days

Yep very satisfied. Awesome machine for what I do and how I work ... serious money maker and time saver

yeah two people have a much better chance of holding it in place
