    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Just pull them maybe cut a bunch off with the pole saw if there is something to put a block for the grcs in I'd maybe use that.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    The scrub oak we have is super brushy a 2.5" diameter stick could have a 5x5' or bigger clump of brush on it that's really dense and springy so it just doesn't such into the infeed well, slows chipping down more than anything else.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I can't imagine using one of the vermeer or morbark 6 or 7" chippers with the square opening we have a lot of scrub/live oak here and the bushy-ness of it would clog the infeed constantly. I've used the 65xp a few times it's got a 6x12 opening so it'll still take forks and branches that aren't...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I have a 95xp with a 37hp motor on most jobs we do including removals is all we really need or can even benefit from as long as you know the amount of efficiently eats and don't try to over stuff it, it'll keep 2 guys busy feeding it just about as fast as is comfortable. I'd like to have the...

    Harken riggong winch 500

    Some material loss doesn't really matter and the amount is so minimal I'd never take the weight trade off.

    Bartlett Antidote rope

    I forgot my asolo mountaineering boots once, climbed in my regular very light hikers for about 30 minutes on gaffs went home and got my other boots. I don't mind doing an oak prune in my light hikers I wear them for most of my ground work, but I wore them to dead wood a big fir up in Tahoe once...

    Harken riggong winch 500

    The aluminum bollard on the grcs works very well, I also bought the ftc micro bollard that's aluminum it's great, I got a stien as well it's not as nice as the micro bollard but a little bit larger.

    Harken riggong winch 500

    Grcs is bigger rope diameter than that 8 won't work, 12 mm sirus barely grabs and would be the bare minimum if you're not just using it to pull tension by hand maximum diameter is at least 5/8 but i belive is 3/4 max. The half inch atlas and 9/16 kraken both work well in it.

    Cost of stepping off the ground

    Even without travel time setting to low a price especially the first time you work for someone isn't a good move, I've had my own business doing primarily small jobs for 9 years going to low to get the job will hurt more than help.

    Cost of stepping off the ground

    Bump that minimum up to 120$ you'll make the same or money even if you work less. 20$ to cover operating costs gas etc, 100$ to pay you for your time even if it only takes you 20 minutes on the site you've still got drive time and time spent dealing with gear you need to account for, if people...

    When arborists agree

    I had a guy contact me to remove a large pondo like 50" dbh maybe larger very tall straight and healthy, he wanted it removed for a tv dish, we told him 10k to fall it and chip the brush in hopes of encouraging him not to do it.

    Cost of stepping off the ground

    Normally 500-800$ minimum for me if we're climbing, the exception being if we're already there and it's something we can quickly do. Example we had a short day neighbor across the street asked if we could pull down a couple widow makers for him, gave him a do it now price life 250 and he said...

    Bid that tree!

    We do day rates pretty much just half and full, typically though it's only for stuff like minor pruning if there's climbing maybe small non technical low/no risk removals, brush clearing, silky work just a general make things look nice day, wood removal would be additional unless it's hardwood...

    Steel Geckos - alternate mounting holes for gaffs?

    Happened to one of the guys that works with me when he first started climbing. He took an oak limb and made is top cut on the wrong side of his under cut and it peeled down and squished him against the truck fortunately I was right there and it was low so I was able to cut it off for him.
