Great job and video Bradley

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

Thanks!

Bradley, have done a very similar job here with giant black and red oak; but no chipper. Had to grapple carry the logs about an eight mile uphill into the wooks. I would suggest a round with the aerovater when the ground dries a bit.

My customer is aware of all the great stuff that I offer! The last tree crew that was in there left a LOT of ruts in his yard and he want's me to fix them!

[@carlinatkinson5288]

Man, that looks like you were having fun! I was impressed with setting a couple of logs out to lay that tree down on and will tuck that trick away in case I need it in the future. I wondered how you were going to get those trees down without damaging the turf. I spent the day on my Ventrac mowing and also transporting/spreading 4+ yards of topsoil around creation. This makes me want to get back out there 😆

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

It's even more fun when a customer realizes you're worth more because you do a better job. Too many are looking for cheap but there are still some that are willing to pay for quality

@@bluecordprecisiongrading2504 Absolutely. I am glad there are still some fantastic customers out there who are willing to pay to get a job done right!

Looking good. I was wondering if lift arms on ventrac ever bend or are they plenty strong. Thanks

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

The won't bend. It would take more than even the full weight of the tractor to bend those things

[@JohnBraman413]

what's the biggest log you can pick up? 6' length?

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

I believe the grapple is rated for 750 pounds. As far as log diameter, I've picked stuff up that was around 30 inches across
