    Zigzag not grabbing

    I don't use my zigzag often partly because I'm usually climbing srt, partly because it doesn't grab like it used to. It doesn't slip at all once my weight is in it so I'm not sure it's worn out, but I have to set it by hand for it to grab. It seems like the little spring on the top link gets...

    The box was/is? 9'3" long x 8' wide x 5'7" high, when full, it would be dragging mudflaps and definitely overweight being an F350

    This is the Akimbo

    Can you elaborate? I haven't had akimbo in hand yet, but I'm seeing much more in common with the two than being made of metal...

    Rig N Wrench

    I was envisioning the same as it is now with a the spliced tether holding the two together...thinking it over though, maybe there are hardware options that'd work but I can't really imagine anything being an improvement over the tether as it is now

    Relatively small but dumb mistake(s)

    I agree, ladders are probably the most dangerous tool in tree work. I avoid using one 99% of the time. When I first started tree work, my foreman broke his shoulder falling off an orchard ladder, he was using it because it was wet/rainy and too slippery to climb :rolleyes:... A wheelchair bound...

    Chipping vs Grappling

    For now it’s got to be one or the other for a few reasons, (mainly space/storage) ...So I get they both have their place but do need to choose. I believe you as you do have both, but am surprised chipper and grapple upkeep have been similar. I’d really expect the chipper with its fast moving...

    Chipping vs Grappling

    Thanks for all the input. I don’t thing I’ve found anyone that regrets going this route which is encouraging. I’d think the 3:1 chip vs grapple ratio would probably be a good average. Yeah I’m sold on the maintenance side of things for sure. I can take the loads to a mulch place for about...

    Chipping vs Grappling

    Interesting and I can imagine how nice it will be someday, just not sure it’s our best move right now. Curious how much do you pay?
