Good evening BC folks and all who lurk here.
7,500 pounds is a lot of lift way up in the sky! My Bobcat doesn`t like anything over 4,500 lbs on level firm ground. It`s rated at one half the tipping weight of 5,500 lbs.

Good evening everyone.
Hello Morris.
Many operators around me want to only use old junkers, and light lifters.
That is good if your not doing real work with them.
But they are unable to do the bulk of what we do.

Most common helicopter in BC is the very crude, slow, limited range, and barely able to lift a thing bell 206.

Good day to all.

As long as it doesn't snow here I'm happy, the cold bitter weather can stay away as well.
