    All those years in the woods cutting for your dad has prepared you for this exact moment and season in life! Hope you have continued success!

      Tim definitely has the best touch of anyone on running the grapple and loaders!!! Experience shows. He’s earned his stripes and moving on with his career!!!

    I had just told my wife that saw is letting you work in the comfort of ac. Saves the back and keeps you out of the heat of summer, and it's warm in winter. Providing safe work for you.

    Tim that grapple saw is a time saver, back saver and possibly a life saver. Especially on a big ol bushy top like that with those big limbs holding it up. People don't realize how much tension those things are under. Cut the wrong limb with a chainsaw and she will roll right onto you. I lost a good friend that was a lifelong logger just that way. After he didn't come home that afternoon he was found around midnight after a huge limb had crushed his head. Anytime you can minimize the dangers I say it's worth every penny....plus its cool as hell lol.

    So nice to see a master tree feller at work! And the Rotobec is a real game-changer! Not cheap by any means, but not nearly as expensive as a Back operation! Compared to my Tree Shear, the productivity of the Grapple Saw for clearing Locust looks amazing!

    Anybody complaining about you buying that setup must have never limbed trees in the south during the summer. I like that head, it seems to have better control than others I've seen

    That grapple is awesome, I’m proud for you that will make life a lot easier. I may look at a Hyundai when I upgrade my Volvo 88. I would do more tree work if I had that grapple!

  • @pauliossi2674

    the new machine is a monster, fast and safe, keeping you out of the danger zone is worth the price to say nothing about the labor savings and increased production.

  • @carlwilliams1570

    You do residential tree work like a logger would! You feed your chipper with the grapple on a mini just like its done on a logging job instead of 3 or 4 ground men hand feeding a chipper. The grapple saw lets you cut up and buck everything instead of doing it on the ground with a chain saw. People just don't understand what they don't know. I will choose the cab when ever possible. Nice work!

  • @keithdunlap2701

    Well, That's crazy why people would ask , why you got the saw !! lololol... I'll just say, "Here's Ya Sign" !! lololol.. There are just so many plus factors for having it, I think your whole set up is about as perfect as one could ask for.... Great Video Tim, Be safe out there !! Have a Great Day....

  • @thomasmiddlebrooks5169
    @thomasmiddlebrooks5169 10 місяців тому +5

    The question they should be asking is why not. Just like you said”cause I’m in here in the a/c in a quiet cab not tripping all over the tree while running a saw.” Basically! The question is why wouldn’t you have it?!? 🤷🏽
    I am a soil scientist in Georgia and I use a kx-18 kubota mini to dig test pits. Why would I want to hand dig holes 4-6’ deep when I can dig with an excavator. Work smarter not harder.

    • @ryany4326
      @ryany4326 5 місяців тому

      We'll the simple answer is the attachment alone is $50,000. Plus installation another 10,000 with parts. Do you know how many yard trees you have to cut down to even break even on that machine?

    • @thomasmiddlebrooks5169
      @thomasmiddlebrooks5169 5 місяців тому

    Hay Mr Tim, how much money does safety cost.
    Getting away from a downed tree for limb work has to be a huge safety factor for you or anyone in the industry.
    I just don’t get why some folks complain about what kind of equipment you buy too do your job.

  • @eddiemays2113
    @eddiemays2113 10 місяців тому

    Having that to cut the limbs off is cheaper than if you cut by a saw and you are out of work for a while some people just don’t think before they say something and you can get your work done faster and can move on to another job so in the long run you are saving yourself money

    People asking why pay 40k for a grapple saw... just have them pay payroll on about 5- 10 guys a year with Worker's Comp.. and matching their taxes.
    If somebody came up with the machine that can "limb-anate" that I wouldn't give a darn if it is 140k. I'm buying it.
