Redneck Crane

[GLyford]

Any equipment with redneck in the discription does not need to conform to any regulations.

Well, perhaps not regulations, but there are traditions that need to be followed. Someone needs to say "Hold my beer..."

Except he’s lifting under 200 pounds not 1000. His other practical option was set them by hand. I’ll take the mini excavator over by hand any day.

And, hard to argue with someone when it worked and got the job done. Kind of like how i used a 4x4 on my loader to set trusses by myself.

Depends on where you are working. Big city, on a job with permits, yeah you're better off hiring a crane. Out in the country, on a project that doesn't require permits and you are GTG. OSHA looks up permits to see where worksites are and then they go raid them.

Excessive regulation is killing this country.

This is very close to using equipment as designed. Attachment to bucket is only variance
