I'm trying to be a good person, Mike, but I have to admit there is something satisfying about being comfortable, relaxing indoors, sipping a hot cup of coffee, and watching you work in the rain. Thumbs up.

Master Blaster, I like your daily stories! It pays for us for you to go outside your house and see what's happening in your town and tell us about it. Your video unique angles are appreciated. Good work. Happy New Year! From New Fairfield CT

[@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.

[@jeoinaforest]

I concur. Please consider utilizing a harness when relocating. Up/down, no big deal, but moving ups the danger big time!

[@kellymeade4587]

Great video, Mike! That roller is the way to go . I worked construction 30 years ago. We used a (Genie boom lift). Pretty much the same spec. It Was battery powered …with hydraulic motors, driving the wheels. It had a high speed cruise setting with the boom down ….And bigger tires. I was riding with the operator on my first day. He drove around the building, at the site. He ran through a big depression in the service road at high speed. He almost catapulted both of us ….out of the basket, … multiplying the movement at the end of the boom. We were halfway out from the waist up, holding on to anything we could. 😂 Those days in construction I’ll never forget.

[@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.👍🚜❤️🙏🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@Catfish5577]

Hey Mike, I work in traffic engineering in Virginia. Those traffic lights you spoke about are using a system called Opticom. They work with a strobe light on the emergency vehicle, most noticeable on fire trucks. When they approach an intersection that strobe turns all lights red except for the lane of travel the emergency vehicle is in. They can turn them off and should only use them when needed. The strobe has an ID and is monitored. They save a lot of time on response and save lives. Thanks for all the great videos over the years.

[@Tdale85]

Good Sunday morning Mike, Melissa and family! I hope the Huntman had a great birthday yesterday. Have a fantastic start to your week!

[@gunslinger8718]

Hey Mike, To safely operate that manlift you should have a full body safety harness and tied off with a safety lanyard to the basket loop anchor point.

[@rolandharrison5651]

Well done. Through this whole series of videos, I found it remarkably refreshing to witness the journey of Matt’s Mallet. Thank you for the insight.

[@funk7875]

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.

[@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!

[@johnkirby6547]

Hello Mike, The road is looking very nice after the new stone and Adam bringing you a roller to use is very special. Hope Hunter's birthday was a good one.

[@jaycroyle8761]

My oldest son is the lead driver for Sunbelt in the State College area. When you said they have nice equipment you are so right, I have used a bunch of it. I laughed when you mentioned "pucker factor" I'm right there with you buddy. As always, have a day!! Jay from Pa.

[@PatrickCPalmer]

Awesome tutorial Mike. I’m so confident now after watching you demo the manlift that I can honestly say that I could rent one and safely pay someone to operate it.

[@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.

[@nathans3094]

Those man lifts are great, we rented one that you tow with your truck, if my memory is right you rented one of them years ago. We used it to take down a tree that was close to the house, worked great. Thanks Mike.

[@jbbrown7907]

I watched this from the Cracker Barrel in Junction City Kansas. My load is having a church day with the small Anish community in Wakefield, just north of here. We will be visiting two or three communities in Missouri tomorrow.

[@richardgillard779]

Agreed you need the body belt and tie off lanyard.

[@dmorgan28]

Mike you’re doing an awesome job on that road. It’s looking great. Nice of your friend to drop off his roller. I do love those man lifts. They are really the ticket. Take care and have a good one!👍❤️

[@guido2110]

I bought my Kubota B3300SU in 2010 . I bought a a box blade..month ago after watching your videos. I love it , should have came with the tractor. Work's great for me.

[@fishndoc11]

We have a lift very similar to that one at work. It cost $80,000, but it was about 10 years ago that it was bought.

[@hiddenspringshappenings3945]

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.

[@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. 👍

[@timmalanoski9516]

Good morning there’s something about the sound of 2 A limestone makes while being spread that’s very soothing like a gentle rainstorm very relaxing 😎

[@herbward5240]

Mike tell Adam that suitable cables might be had from West Marine. Teleflex makes shift and throttle cables along with turnbuckles and other suitable hardware.

[@davidmc8110]

I just recently got done using a Genie boom lift like that to take down a couple trees (a pine tree, and a dead elm), and trim up several more trees. It was borrowed (trade for a tune-up and oil change [Kubota gas engine]), and it only ran at a fast idle when we got it, but we got it fixed up running at the right speed. ((I see a Genie boom lift [diesel] at Ritchie Bors. starting at $5000)) If your feet are only about 5-6ft off the ground on a ladder, the trick is not to try to stop yourself if you fall but roll when you hit the ground. It can work if you're higher, but you know... 😄

[@tangocharlie9538]

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.

[@sandyd829]

Mike, i have never seen anyone enjoy getting stone as much you do. Greeting to Morgan clan. God Bless

[@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 💯🙏

[@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.

I ran the basket lift many times. Last was in red wing MN. We were putting in a grain extracter and it was 80ft . I was lead guy over 12 guys putting in pipe for this.

[@dave-uf8ir]

Good times mike cheers 🥂 😊

[@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. 🥰😊😉👍❤️💜🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@1944chevytruck]

Manhunt! crazy!

[@Jamesattended2245]

Having an old roller about is always handy.especially the stone you put down without metal tracks to compact it.bit of rain always helps if the stones dry.

[@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. They can be annoying at times... but also quite informative at others ! Have a week !!!

[@Hoa-Mechanical]

[@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

[@kearnsey64]

Mike, those rollers when in vibration mode have broken watermains when we reclaim roads which means we grind down to gravel, in case you didn't know.

[@Ned-p1y]

Old cast iron gas mains just love them rollers

[@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.

Mike, if u find yourself renting a lift frequently check into Skid Lift, we use ours on our track loader for putting up siding, trimming trees, painting, gutter work, etc

[@jeffpage7815]

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

[@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.

Lifts are fun. The brand has an electric version with the same controls. The electric ones are really quick and can be scary. The speed control on the lower left is your friend but it can be your enemy as well.

[@DanaFoster-vl5os]

Great job

[@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.

[@davidbarton2732]

Hey Mike Long time watcher here. I was going to comment last post, but now have to this one. Since the beginning your camera work has really improved. Now, from just “good camera work, “ now, with this opening, your moving into “cinematography .” Great work !

[@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.

[@hunterlogan2913]

my road related projects haven't graduated to a land plane yet. Your accelerated time lapse is one of your best skills along with a very controlled pour when u dump grave

[@bpmunroe]

You’ve got the speed control on the lift dialed all the way down (turtle). Turn it up a bit (towards rabbit) and it will go faster.

Poor ole blueford has to be feeling neglected and forgotten about with all the road work that has been going on. 🙂 I've always thought that with the price of the new dump trucks you have been looking at and thinking about buying that you should get blueford fixed up and use it. I know it would take spending a fair amount of $ on it too get it to the point that it would be road worthy, but I'm sure it would be much less than the price of a new dump truck. Just my .02 on the subject. I've been watching since around video 150, when you were numbering them. Keep the great content coming, I always enjoy it.

[@waynebarnett7467]

I’m a seamless gutter and downspout contractor with way to may years in the trade. Use those all the time , some are great , some are not. JLG built units are well made and fairly easy to operate , but they all have their quirks. Way too many redundant safety features. I’m not afraid of heights till I get up about the hundred foot mark then things get wonky. But you are correct , a lift is the only way to go. Just takes a while to get accustomed to how each one operates.
