    But they pay Ron! I dont care what is on the trailer mate, money is money to me. They have not been bad so far, the routing is retarded at times, but it's the same with blades too. Bank balance certainly likes them!

    So what happens next is a nightmare...back hoe dead battery, once the jerks at richie bros help jump it is to low on hyd fluid to lift the boom any more....drag across the deck. next the frigging lift had no timing cover and starts bellowing oil on deck (they originally put it on with a forklift but since they had to help jump the backhoe they were not about to move this man-lift again, so tried to drive it back on its own power), did i mention its just puking oil, shut it off. but ... success is in the future...

    all said and done pops was at richie brothers 9 hours, paid and extra 1000, but hes pretty upset and moved chains 3 times...needless to say we'll be on the, 1 and 1, no trap, low pay loads for a bit!! some times easy, out weighs pay.

    fisher guy, Here's a hint. Next time take a small block of wood and set it on the deck before you lower the stick on the deck.
    The bouncing can cause your deck to get a hole in it seeing how it looks like a alum. deck. Also no paint damage or scaring on the end of the stick

    Also you might want to move your chains closer to the unit if you can. Less chain sag. The closer the better,the chains can flex.

    I try and tie closer to my lds. not having the chains back so far, but that's just me.
