Tree house started, beware some green color

[plastikosmd 975]

Well, more of a deck in the sky, set up at 50 yrd line on my range. Will be good to shoot from, also adding a climbing wall and zip line for niece/nephews. I don't plan to add an enclosure, will just pop a tent up there to camp in or play in when they are up. Got 3 of the 5 poles in today. Deck will be 16x16 or so.

Poles are 25-30 ft

To wide for trail, so used the arch

3 done, gonna be high for some 7 yr olds. Wish I had it when I was that age

looks like a pretty cool play ground you got there

[Simplicity7013H 95]

Nice property too!

[plastikosmd 975]

All 5 in

Pretty neat log hauler (the blue thing behind the 4 wheeler). Did you fabricate that? Could you take more pics of it? Did you purchase the pole?s or were they used from the power company? sorry for so many questions, but that is intriguing. JH

[plastikosmd 975]

Poles are from craigslist. Log arch is a logrite felling arch with winch,tow adapter and t

All looks terrific, car not so bad either : )

Doe the Arch telescope in length?

[fishnwiz 3,290]

Sweeeeeet.. Always been a big log home fan !

[plastikosmd 975]

Car is a fun toy. The arch does not telescope. When using the lift handle I was able to pick up 30 ft telephone poles by hand but it was tough to push them on rough ground with 1 person. Using tow setup was a breeze

Nice everythingdOd Is that a crawler up by the house?

[plastikosmd 975]

Good eye, I have 2 oliver oc3 and a ih t340 up there

IH is hiding, oc3 u see is parts for the machine under the deck. if u look close u can see it

[plastikosmd 975]

More progress.

Wife saw me doing this...

( I have angle iron on ram but still a pita)

Bought me this.

42 ft operating height, 32 ft extension. Honda power. Great little portable unit.

I think I will try jumping out of a plane next, maybe get a jet?

[isetta 50]

I'd drive a Yugo and wait for the Ferrari!

[isetta 50]

Does that lift have to be attached to a vehicle when in use?

[plastikosmd 975]

No it does not have to be attached. I just move it around with the bucket on the deere.

I considered a 4x4 lift or scissor 4x4 but for the height I wanted, they ran 15k-17k lbs. Too much for me to trailer.

I like this one as the electronics are simple, Honda motor and easy hydraulic runs except for the in-boom run. Also the straight stick is relatively quick compared to some of the articulated ones. Articulated have some positive featured too but run more money. This was very clean and cheap for what it is.

He who has the most toys-- Right ? nice collection seems it would be hard for you to get bored:D

My dad has an OC-3 and OC-46 so kind of easy to spot, did see other once I looked again. That is one beautiful place you have there

[yukon 331]

wow

[Mike_H 92]

Hmmm...Lucky Dog. Last time My wife caught me doing something dumb to reach a high spot, I got this...

[plastikosmd 975]

Lol, well it is a nice ladder!

720, I considered a 46 also, I think I we will wait for my barn to be built before any more crawlers

[720nut 4,225]

I'ld like to have them but just no room and I'ld like to stay married if you know what I meam.

[plastikosmd 975]

I hear you, happy wife, happy life.

[GrincheyOne 52]

Well Doc, Pardon the pun BUT that is one slamming "posting"
