carlotpilot Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Carlot: My imiadiate area is most likely safe, I live in a green belt here in the valley, flying sparks and burning debris is a concern for us as it might land in a hay stack or blow inside of an open building. A bad senareo for us would be continuied strong south winds. or the loss of power that would affect out irrigation abilitys.well good to hear hope everything stays intact be safe 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36309-tender-box-in-the-making/page/5/#findComment-302030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead204 Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 getting a few lightning strikes to the north of me now, some in the U.S. some in B.C. looks like some rain to go with, so likely to have some sleeper fires to deal with in a day or so.

Popular Post gearhead204 Posted August 31, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2015 SIPWLKR: we have them, but the state dont like to pay for them! also a u-blade just makes a hell of a mess that has to be cleaned up later. we run mostly d-6 and smaller dozers with 6 way blades, they are faster to move point to point and we can turn the transport around easy, tractors,jeeps,lowboys, and boosters not so much. In the right conditions I would love to sit on a 8-9 sized machine and push line. In heavy timber we use feller bunchers to cut a wide line and then use smaller dozers to grub out between the stumps. guys have also built dozerengines a dozer with the ability to pack and pump water in remote areas that one ton brush trucks cant reach. others take grapple skidders and either remove the grapple and install a water tank n pump, or simply pack a round tank in the grapples. the term for these are skidgines. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36309-tender-box-in-the-making/page/5/#findComment-302074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
