Regarding the ‘Manhunt’ I live in Australia and sometimes I think I’m on another planet listening to the news about teenagers who have multiple court convictions doing really bad things (robbing liquor stores, breaking into someone’s house to get car keys to steal their car, really bad stuff) they get bail and offend again the same day. One young boy had 388 convictions but still out on bail. What sort of world are we living in. I understand what you are saying.

[@comlbbeau]

I see "deer stand" written all over that lift.... I'm with you, Mike, on ladders. I can sit all day 20' up in a tree with my bow as comfortable as can be as long as I'm strapped in wearing my harness, but put me 10' up a ladder and my knees are knocking, too.

[@jacobrunklewithjacobscount4248]

Mr Mike, you're absolutely correct about the lift...I'm a volunteer fireman, and recently, we had a call involving a man lift and high voltage power lines. The operator didn't survive. I guess my comment is a general warning for everyone watching. Please be very careful operating all machinery.

Lets be honest here. This is not work to Mike or any other equipment junkie. He's having fun the same way you or I or Mike would, or is having.!!! If you truly enjoy your job you're not working. Got to admit I did expect to see Melissa running that roller. Going slow of course, but still going. Mike, I bet if you put the roller information ie..... Model, year, manufacturer and anything else Adam has that 1 of your viewers could help locate a source. Maybe not today, but you get 10 or 15,000 people looking and you'll find something. Look at what it did in helping those 25 cops in finding that crook 🤔🤔🤔😵‍💫😵‍💫

Hey Mike check out diesel Creek write down the road on 79 he has multiple old rollers on his channel and he does sell a lot of his equipment I'm a Florida transplant who grew up in Carnegie and love watching outdoor with the Morgans and Diesel Creek my two favorite homegrown KZbinrs

[@keithburch5506]

Corning had a dozen lifts like that but electric. They stayed busy too. One year i and another guy each took one, his was a scissor lift, ane we used brooms and leaf blowers to take down all the spider webs, bird nests, and dust in our warehouse. I got all the areas around dock doors and ramps where a sissor lift couldn't get to. As many drives and roads you keep up, a roller would be nice to have. Just keep your eyes open and maybe a deal will come along like w Adam. I bet the road will hold it's shape longer after being rolled. Very nice of Adam to loan you his. I didn't mind a 30 minute video at all!! Thank you.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@tsant6591]

Good morning Mike and fam. Nice seeing all the upgrades on the property, and all the equipment that you're running..! Man, what a change from the old days! Cheers from Florida!

[@cayminlast]

That roller looks like a fun machine to operate. We live in the largest county in Florida (by area 1,996.8 sq. miles) luckily our crime rate is pretty low, law enforcement has a big space to cover so they have helicopters, drones and boats.

[@kenmckeecma]

Mike - very enjoyable seeing the road get “stoned”. I still see lots of cut trees and branches along the way, next to the new road. Are you going to stockpile them somewhere, or just leave them to rot? I know you are busy, but it is like unfinished work, that needs to be addressed, or maybe it is just my OCD kicking in.

[@ericrobinson7664]

Mike, you've done a better job giving the facts than most any news outlet. Thank for your always time showing us what you witnessed. God Bless

I have a gutter cleaning extension for my blower which can get me about 24 feet off the ground. I built a PVC setup that connects to a garden hose, that gets me 24+ feet. Between blowing air and / or water, my gutters should be easier to keep clean.

[@fit4ya1975]

Get gutter guard. Never have to worry again.

[@tkalus5736]

I used to think that I was afraid of heights. I came to understand that I had a trust issue, just like Mike. The first few times up a ladder, I am slow climbing. After I gain some trust in the setup, I climb like a monkey.

[@warrenstanford7240]

That’s a smart looking Cherry Picker the electricians on the Gas Plant where I work use a similar unit to change the lamps on lighting and cable inspections,etc. They work as a pair and are harnessed so if they get jolted out of the cradle they return home in one piece and only have underwear to launder. 👍

[@dougvazquez6571]

😄I have been in the same boat. I use to hate it when the delivery guy leaves before I have a chance to get the basic program. It seems like all of them have their own little operation control quirks. Sometimes the lifts require a secret squirrel handshake to get them started and or moving. Your go lucky. Having a little rain while you are rolling is a very fortunate thing. A little water can go a long way to help with compaction. One safety thing about the boom lift- you could be launched out of it if the wheels hit an uneven surface just right. Using them on a construction site, the operator had to be harnessed to the machine with a full fall protection harness.

[@chadcollier250]

We have multiple man lifts at work of all sizes. Seems like every one of the operates different. Have to figure out how to start each one of them. So don’t feel bad.

[@jeffpage7815]

You would feel better with safety harness hook to.basket. also moves faster with basket fold down.

[@emilwaldman7906]

Mike... Your "road to nowhere" looks absolutely incredible !!! Like everything you do... perfection !!! It was great seeing your bride [during that short segment] ... Mike, you should consider getting a scanner for your "family building" . It's amazing what you can find out about what's going on in your area.

I bought a used 45’ JLG that has an articulating boom vs the straight stick you have. It was $22k. So nice to have around.

[@Ubergamer256]

Make sure you dont drive that boom lift over a drain field. Take it from me… it took all day for the contractor to pull it out. 😂

[@waynelofton645]

It's interesting the differences that still exist in the northern and southern regions of the US. Your investment in machinery and stone for building driveways would be considered unnecessary in the south. All you really need is a good 4 wheel drive, a winch, and a snorkel to make it to you house.

[@Hoa-Mechanical]

😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

[@crbourret]

We have a JLG lift at work and you are not allowed to operate it in the basket without being clipped in with a safety harness because you can get catapulted out of that basket in a hurry if you hit a bump while driving it.

[@lawrencetirrell8414]

Hi Mike. I ❤ that lift.( I prefer a smaller one.) My family didn't have money to rent one. But. That's my history of 9 ladder accidents. I've been banned from ladders since 2011. A smaller life would helped. Just saying. Those " renters" should had a operational manul to run lifts. Save a lot of grief & frustrations running lifts. Just saying. Adam's roller: That roller look a late 1980s or early 1990s model. 2000 models are quieter. Wonderful roller. 🥰😊😉👍 Great job on your road Mike. I thought 5 loads of 2a limestone. You want a decent final layer of 2a limestone. We all know how you ❤ mud. SARCASM! 😆😆😆😁😁😁 Yes. We get manhunt in Upstate N.Y. & Vermont. Sometimes. Both N.Y. & Vermont work together. They caught a guy in our nieghborhood's swamp in the late 1990s. He & another man escaped a N.Y. County Jail. N.Y. state police caught the other man in N.Y. Me & my family were 7/10th of a mile from the captured man in the swamp. We had excitement back then too. 2 helicopters, all types of N.Y. & Vermont law enforcements w/ thier vehicles. We saw in on our N.Y. news station. ( Our house was Upstate N.Y. The is road was Vermont.) Well. Say Hi to Eva, Tyler, Hannah, & Hunter. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Mike , please use a harness when you are in the basket of the lift. I was using one and hit a bump and it nearly bounced me out of the basket !! Pucker factor was VERY HIGH , be safe.

[@kenmarsh2668]

Mike and family, good morning, used a lift similar to that one to change out the old windows in our old brick colonial. Worked great but because of its weight I still find where the tires went around the yard. Since then I have used a towable lift, 45’ or 55’, works great; have taken hundreds of trees in tight spaces, safely and efficiently. I am tracking Tyler; have a great day and week.

- Ladders- Seems like everyone knows someone who has had a bad ladder incident. I chose not to become a statistic as I tried to maintain the exterior of my restored two story farmhouse. Knowing your limitations as you get older is the key. As hard as it was sold the house and live in a single level home.

Mike, hi was wondering where is the high, boy thanks Randy

[@johnnye7599]

Mike, after the man hunt did you check the mini cabin?

[@barryhoneycutt3894]

I saw a 60 foot JLG for 15,000. Could be reconditioned. What i found out is that they are really close to the vest on their pricing. They want all your contact Information, before they give you a price. I guess that is so competitors cannot shop their prices.. ? I was an Electrician for a Contractor at the Firestone Tire & Rubber Plant in Orange, Texas. I used Manlifts, Scissor Lifts etc. For the towers i used a 120 Foot Boom. They are very safe and nice. If your interested there are many types, JLG Standard, Genie types, New, Used, Reconditioned are all available. That Roller is the ticket on that type of work for sure.. Thanks 💯🙏

[@JV-wq6xb]

Mike, is that 2A limestone the same as what they calll “crush and run”?

I used to work industrial maintenance at a galvanizing plant, and have spent many hours on a man lift. Even though its better than a ladder I'm not much into the heights either. Especially over tanks of sulphuric acid or kettle of 830 degree zinc. I'm like you Mike. If it will start up and move I can run it. Been on vibratory roller, skid steer, excavator, etc. I'll be 74 in October so reserved myself to just 2 wheels now. We have a sunbelt rental here in southern Indiana. Guess they are everywhere.

[@brianalben1971]

[@blunderbuss9927]

It's never been the height. I routinely sit 20-40 feet up trees during the fall and winter. It does however, give a bit of a pucker when that tiny thought of the sudden stop at the bottom enters the brain. I always recheck my harness and safety line every single time that little thought worms its way up. All of this after descending at terminal velocity from very high altitudes in my youth. Just always remember - Safety Third. And how I love the JLGs vs the Bos'n chairs.

[@hiwaydan]

Hey Mike, tell Adam that roller was originally made by Vibromax for Case. Vibromax sold to JCB 6-8 years ago. Vibromax went independent of Case back about the time the Berlin Wall came down. They were headquartered in Racine WI. There might some old dealer out there with old parts inventory and old knowledge. Good simple roller.

[@hiwaydan]

I forgot to mention that Vibromax was a German company

Used a manlift many times over the years during my time in maintenance in the mill. They get very sensitive the higher you go. I was up about 90 feet on a job and sneezed. It almost bounced me out of the basket. (we are required to wear a safety harness) It definitely beats ladders.

[@SquireJethro]

The rule is the last person to use it, stores it.

[@timraber6575]

When I worked at the Water utility, we would rent one of those lifts for maintenance work. I was able to operate them after some study of the controls. I always managed to get some great pictures from a view I could get any other way. We never got one that large, but they are handy.

[@PatrickWagz]

Always should wear a harness when working in a lift.

I’ve been waiting to rent a lift to repair the roof on my old barn. That’s similar to the one the rental place showed me…think I will look for a smaller simpler one. I will have to be laying on bucket floor to screw tin, so scratching my head a bit. No way I’m walking on steep pitch rusty metal roof and of course it’s so HOT here the tin will burn your hands.

[@henryoppermann134]

Lifts cost between 65,000 and 250, 000 depending on self propelled…I have a 65 that cost 95 when new…in the tree business it makes sense for daily use…but I’d love to have a 95 footer. Of course they come in many flavors.
