    Experience with smaller/low-end chippers?

    Look for a bandit 65xp at the minimum, I personally wouldn't go smaller than that ever the other 6" chippers are smaller because they have a 6x6 opening compared to bandits 6x12. I have a 95xp with a 37hp and it's sufficient for my needs and honestly I'm torn when it comes upgrading on whether...

    Maine climber killed in accident

    It's not even that he screws up what seems like a lot for a professional especially one who pushes their presence, I make my share of mistakes as well last one I face cut a little off angle and the top 5 ft got the fence. There's somethingto learn from others mistakes pretty much the point of...

    Big guys

    I've seen a couple that are off mostly just one in Winchester (fancy hoa here) but other than that it's been really close we double check it with Google maps as well if it doesn't seem right.

    Anyone else making their own wire core flip lines?

    These are what I use significantly lighter weight than most wire core lines if you wanted to shave some weight off the times you need/want one. https://www.wesspur.com/FLI138M-Maxi-Flip-Sport-Flipline

    Anyone else making their own wire core flip lines?

    I like the isc snap hook it comes with so that's a win for me, I use a Petzl micro grab with my flipline as well wouldn't mind going to the art one but it doesn't work with that thin of a wire core unfortunately. I can on a decent/good work day make that much money in the x same amount of time...

    Anyone else making their own wire core flip lines?

    I buy the maxiflip sport from wesspur, comes it's a flemish eye splice on both ends with a clamp and thimble and has an aluminum triple action snap lock the 12 footers are 154$ which seems pretty reasonable to me by the time I've bought everything to make it I'd probably be in 70$ and still need...

    Ms261c

    I got the non c version of the 261 liked it so much I bought the 261c a week or 2 later to make sure I'd never be without, both are great I prefer the c because it auto resets to run. They're a great strong lightweight saw I just go straight from my 540ixp to a 261 now haven't used my 201tc in a...

    Big guys

    I feel it's pretty the contractor getting sued as well is pretty reasonable, if you're hoping over a fence to do the work it's not that hard to check onX or whatever property line/ownership app you use. OnX is great and pretty reasonable too plus a handy tax write off for your non work related...

    Tormek T8 – Bench Wet-Stone Grinder / Sharpener System

    It's a great knife sharpener it does put a hollow profile on the edge so wouldn't really be ideal for axes or other things with a higher bevel imo. I just use my 2x72 belt grinder to establish edges on new knives and sharpen knives that have been mistreated I usually go to about 800 grit belt...

    Thoughts on TreeRex Saddle?

    He's using the same suspenders I am, I think there's places for them to clip right on otherwise we might have made little loops with throwline, pretty positive they clip directly on though.

    Thoughts on TreeRex Saddle?

    One if the guys that works with me is using a treerex it's a nice saddle and he likes it he's 5'7 and like 145 lbs though. I'm in the tm pro and happy with it I'm 6'2 185. I use these suspenders I don't see how they could really get any better I've tried a few others and these are the best so...
