Oh ya from the time my shop door opens till it closes or till I’m sitting on the next jobView attachment 206740 A beautiful Friday morning waiting on the contractor to show up. The wind is supposed to get up and I’d like to have these 60 ft trusses up before it does
Yes I saw that as well, I was waiting for all the regular jack a$$es to say how another tree outsmarted a crane operatorLooks a lot better than the last manitex picture I saw:

Too much tree, too far away, and probably soft ground too. At least no one got hurt.Does anyone know the story?
Think the way to remove a tree would be to do it opposite to the way it got there and that big.Too much tree, too far away, and probably soft ground too. At least no one got hurt.
Tree work is some of the most difficult work you can do with a crane. No one wants a huge crane on their driveway, and that expense, but they want a huge tree taken out, on the other side of the house.
I hear you, I wash on the downhill side of a gravel driveway that runs down beside the barn then onto a concrete pad that holds my manure pile.Though I do keep my National in a heated building, it has no floor drains, and I am loath to just let any wash water run out the door, to seep into the gravel outside. Reason being, I have set septic tanks for buildings in my area, needed as a "grease settling tank", or words to that effect, as part of a near 10 K system to tie into the city sewer system. One of my past customers let it slip to the P & Z people, while applying for his building permit, that the building was going to be for storing his large, bus sized, motor home in, and maybe they asked him if he'd be washing it in there, next thing you know, and 10 K later, he was able to (legally) do so! I use the car/truck wash, and spend about 6 bucks in quarters, a couple of times a winter. The rest of the time, it looks like crap, but all vehicles here do in the winter time. Just be aware, washing heavy equipment may require more then just a standard tie in to a sewer line, less said the better. The commercial high pressure car washes have already jumped thru all those regulatory hoops, and i don't mind giving them a pocket of quarters to keep the P & Z types off my butt.
It may be even more of a regulatory nightmare, if on a private septic system, if the wrong agency knows about it!
this dust collector is only 7,000 lbs.
when I was fine tuning the radius looking up at those slow moving wispy clouds I got that split second feeling it was coming over on me. Gets your heart going. Lol
