    Got 2 loads of big ash rounds using my crane winch. Worked good and saved my back! Got this one on Amazon for under $200. tmp_9276-photo-11-1685276490.JPG tmp_9276-photo-12-1463625674.JPG tmp_9276-photo-13-74512769.JPG

    Nice crane, scooter422 :thumbs::yes:
    I guess a 12v electric winch woulda brought that price tag up pretty quick!
    Great back saver!!!

    Ahh, sweet, beautiful ash. Makes me want to cut some right now. Not gonna happen, though. Hot and humid forecast for the weekend. Hunting season fast approaching. It will be January before I get to cut. Until then, I will admire the pictures from others in their quest for sweet ash.

    Thing is heavy but I bought hitch pins to replace all the bolts and just assemble it at the site. I didn't have to cut any of this tree service dropped 5 ash trees for a couple my lady knows and I've been picking away at it:)

    Thanks guys. The main reason I bought this was because I had hernia surgery 3 months ago and wanted to keep getting the big stuff. Like this Fat Ash!
