      My wife's grandkid is 25 and a degreed graduate of Uni. and will need surgery to get the couch off of his back. Had everything he needs handed to him..
      He's never had a job other than a short spell with food delivery/ car hop..
      Flip side, I think this young fella will go places and if given the right opportunities really far. Perhaps an inspirational speaker for high school students..

    With gears and levers, and a purpose so clear,
    My first piece of machinery, I hold it dear.

    I've run heavy Equipment over 30 years as a crane operator- learn your charts young man. 16000lbs capacity is directly in front of the carry deck, fully boomed and stick down you'll be lucky to lift 800lbs They are also most often ran indoors on solid concrete as well. it's better known as a carry deck mainly used for large plant indoor maintenance so be careful be safe, make sure you have solid cribbing under your outriggers every lift

      Outrigger cribbing very important when working on that kind of ground it's a bad feeling having a load in the air and seeing an outrigger go away! That carry deck is a work horse!

    Congratulations on your purchase, one small piece of advice is that you MUST grease EVERYTHING on that machine, grease is your best friend now and it's cheaper than buying new parts.
    Remember, grease often and grease everything.

    • @OldJeepGarage

    What a handy little machine, they definitely work better on hard ground. If you get stuck, you can often get out by extending the boom all the way out. Shifts the weight to the drive wheels. Having the outriggers really helps if you get badly stuck.

    Equipment like that as long as it's maintained and works, will resell for just about what you pay for it. It's worth it for a project like yours and cheaper than renting. If it cost you $10,000 and you get $9,000 for it that's a $1,000 rental bill you can't pass up.

    @tim196868 6 місяців тому +1

    I am a union crane operator young man I have ran cranes all sizes for over 26 years and if you're not probably trained on that machine it is a death trap. You have to deduct the weight of the ball the hook and the line from that 16,000 lb. And the more you boom out the less weight you can lift. It starts to flip or toss over on you whatever you do don't get out of that cab keep yourself buckled in and go down for the ride so you don't kill yourself. And the key is for the carrier deck to be totally level before you do your pick. Get it as close up to the cabin as you can. The more you boom out the less weight you can lift. And you should have help you should have a tagline on your logs and someone holding on to the tag line to help you set the log. And for the love of God get proper rigging gear. Be safe God bless you. An extend your outriggers If you have any And set your outriggers down and pads. If you have any.

At least that's what I believe. He's done this so many times already, I believe he is going to do it again - safely. And if he can't do it safely, he'll have no problem saying so.

    That's an awesome little machine.
    Before you give the tractor back, one thing you could do is scrape off the top soft layer of soil and use your excess budget to get a bunch of rock to spread around so your crane doesn't sink as easy. Not sure if it's the best solution, or even a good one, or if it would help once it snows, but it seems like a good idea in my completely inexperienced head lol.
