Snow Equipment Owning/Operating Pictures of your snow weapons

[civilian]

Thanks for the various comments on the operator/driver error on the salt pile. I think I have learned a bit more about stock pile and digging with my loaders on my Kubotas. Not the same as that big front end loader, but the idea is the same. As an operator of a logging tree shear, I know how quickly things can go wrong. I was falling trees on a slope going up the slope. Cut a tree and next thing I knew, I was on my side hanging from the seat belt. A combinations of things turned me over. Shut the machine down, unbuckled and crawled out. Called my brother the boss, and he came out to flip the machine back on its wheel with the cable skidder. Didn't really get an a** chewing, just a discussion of what went wrong. Second time on the flat select cut, cut a tree off and tried to turn it around and it didn't want to turn around. While trying to lay it down then, it took me over. I wasn't the only one to do it. Luckily no one got hurt, including the tree shear.

Hydro Ax 511B-2 Feller Buncher with Shear for Sale - YouTube just took this from the web, very similar to the shear I was using.

Were those triangular "interior wings" reactive additions? If so, what was the issue without them? Did it solve it?

BTW, love your flag.

The triangular wings are the typical attachment method to keep side panels straight and aligned. Many just use a length of tube but this method provides greater strength. Thanks for flag compliment.
