Tree Removal with BH and Grapple

ccdva,


"Stop the Burn..." thread, http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachments/92660-stop-burn-new-jimna-chipper.html?highlight=stop+burn, has some nice action photos of the Jinma.


There has been quite a discussion about the Jinma's. My take is that it does a very nice job for about 1/3 the cost. OSHA would have a heart attack about the lack of safety in its design, but operators with at least average intelligence should do just fine with them. Plus, it gives me more reasons for projects to improve the machine. Many have done quite a nice job improving the Jinma.

Enjoy!

EDIT: I'll probably break out the camera when we chip up the limbs from this tree. (I love looking at other's photos too.)

MadDog,
Great thread and story and your pictures were terrific. You are making good use of your backhoe and thumb and also the grapple. It's amazing how fast you can zip through that stuff if you have the right set-up. Makes you happy you got all that stuff.
BTW, do you know how to post "clickable thumbnails" to make load up time for the dial-up users a little easier? They can click on your image to enlarge it and read the rest of the post while picture is loading up.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Rob,

No, I'm not aware of how to post "clickable thumbnails". Any guidance would be appreciated.

We suffered for way too long with dial up out here and finally got hi-speed service, so I appreciate the challenges of rural living. I've reduced the photos down to about 50-60kb to help with that problem.

Real nice machine!!! I love that thumb!! Man I gotta get my butt in the shop, and get back on my grapple build. I think maybe a thumb will be in line as well.
