Skids Up Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 The average JetRanger nowadays weighs in at about 1800-11900 lbs. :shock: Holy Cow Cap!! What do you have in that Jet Ranger???? If it is all engine it must be quite a stump puller... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ame206350 Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 A little different from the jetrangers I've been around... The second number must be with extra avionics, spare battery, ski basket,etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullcap Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 The second number must be with extra avionics, spare battery, ski basket,etc. No just in typical Bell fashion it includes the 212 to sling it out ha ha,,,just kidding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offset Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 Yeah the numbers I'm seeing around this topic are pretty close to the ones in the town with the wooden man. When I was there everybody in town but the big green and yellow monster was giving their 206's away. The competion was pretty nasty. Judging from the machines I looked after they could not have been making any profit. Because they sure didn't put any back into the machine. It was the one man operators trying to gouge each other. Those tactics will always be around they just ruin it for everybody. :down: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenestron Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 there are so many large wooden men out there....So i can't nail down what town you guys are talking about for the life of me.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reffering to the formerly wooden now made of tin man in the bottom photo. I think the locals burned down the wooden version a while back.

Freefall Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 I think out of all the wooden men you posted hes the only one thats kind of large. The others seem sort of average. edit: I guess the guy with the spear is pretty big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Copterdr Posted July 16, 2007 Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 Good post T/R, I know there is some ridiculous pricing going on there. One has to wonder a few things with those kind of rates. When posted tarriff rates exceed $1000/hr for a jetbox, why are these guys cutting their own throats so badly? Also, These guys have a horrible safety record, it is easy to see where the money isn't being spent. I dont give a rats *** what anyone says here, who are the chisel charters trying to hurt but thier own employees? The people working for these outfits must have a morale problem, after all, when you know you work for a sh*t show what do you have to be proud of? This industry is full of passionate people and nobody likes to see these kind of stories. The way I figure it, those Jetranger 4's (or ++'s so they call them) they have must be 300 pounds overweight! what a laughing stock of the industry - way to go boys, you are really making a name for yourselves out there!
