    Echo CS-355T

    is this 355T comparable to husqvarna 338 climbing saw? i believe the 355 to be about a hundred bucks cheaper. hoping to get some input on this comparison as the 338 is all ive used and I may buy this saw tomorow morning ;)

    Omni-Block 1.5

    how would this pulley hold up to negative rigging? if you would negative rig with this at all whats the weight limit you would stop at? also, oceans I had the same thought as you where a 48" heavy duty webbing sling would be most versatile. Sometimes you will need to secure it to a small...

    Spar Work

    I really like that idea and I'm surprised i haven't seen that done yet. stupid question maybe but lets say if you were to take the weight off the running bowline for a couple seconds and than sit back into it could it slip down? being so vertical and maybe on a smoother tree? ive never...

    Spar Work

    [ QUOTE ] Steve, an easy system for you to set up with minimal gear is to tie a Running Bowline for a choke and set a carabiner hanging in the eye of the Bowline. Grab the tail of your climb line below the hitch/pulley and pop it into the biner. As you descend, it will be like leaving a pony...

    Where would YOU make the cut?

    I apologize if this has been said...im going to admit to not reading anyones responses and im going to impulsivly scroll to the bottom and give my thoughts. Its situational for me. A big factor being what if this is a clients tree that gets 2 visits a year because they have a lot of money...

    how do you teach a first timer on crane picks

    Mostly for me but honestly both, just something I've personally been hearing guys at my now current experience level of tree work talking about. I just decided to be the one to post on here as I am eager to get into it.

    how do you teach a first timer on crane picks

    also what do you all think, If a reputable arborist (and theres many on this forum) were to film more in depth videos on par with these workshops...would you buy it? or would it have to be assiociated with TCIA for you to buy it? Id buy it!

    how do you teach a first timer on crane picks

    thanks royce, I agree the skills should be built slowly and not just throw someone in there and hope they survive the learning curve. also, im not doubting these crane classes are some of the best ways to learn crane work at all but I'm wondering if they tend to be designed for a more...

    how do you teach a first timer on crane picks

    how do you all teach someone who's been on the crane job before,is a good pruner/climber but never done any crane work? How do you best explain how to not get your saw pinched when cutting,handle big trunk cuts and how to stay ultimately safe?

    Stein RC-3100 Pre-tension pulley

    [ QUOTE ] P.S. Do you know how to 'sweat' a rope in to tension it? This helps in a variety of situations where you don't need to set up a 3:1 for pretensioning, not lifting. [/ QUOTE ] nope not sure what your talking about but i am interested in finding out ;)

    Stein RC-3100 Pre-tension pulley

    how would you use it to pre-tension a lowering line with the omni block ? i want to buy one of these as well but it would be nice to get two uses out of it.

    Stein RC-3100 Pre-tension pulley

    also what about using this with a portawrap? i dont see why it wouldnt work but is it as easy as it looks with the RC-1000 or 2000?

    Stein RC-3100 Pre-tension pulley

    well since the pulley isnt too pricey by any means I still want to buy it. but I still am interested in when you all think its worth setting up. something about pre-tensioning is exciting during the job haha. anyone got videos in action?

    Stein RC-3100 Pre-tension pulley

    And what would happen if you were lifting a large branch and the hinge broke early so now you've loaded the pulley. How much could it handle I wonder if that stem that attaches to the prusik could break off ?
