    WTB Enforcer

    The Enforcer has know issues with humidity where it will read as overloaded. Not saying it's not a good device but there are a few good alternatives out there that I would consider as well.

    Chip trailer

    I'm looking at doing something similar Kev. I'd like a dump trailer with tall sides for brush/wood days and set up a removable chip box as well. For storage I'd like to have a toolbox on the front like in the pictures. I'm wondering if having storage built on the sides like you said is a better...

    Loading only one side of a double pulley?

    For anyone else interested in this configuration, RE recommends the use of both sheaves. The pulley is designed to be in-line with the load and single sheave use causes a slight offset towards the outer plate.

    question about cabling

    I've taken out plenty myself. It's all gotta be installed properly and that involves building a system suitable for possible loads over an 8-12 year period.

    question about cabling

    I understand your concerns. I would never require my clients to commit to a maintenance or replacement program. I inform them of the manufacturers recommendations which is to have the system routinely inspected and that the system has a lifespan. I even explain that squirrels are dicks. I also...

    question about cabling

    Liability for the system should be written into your contract, along with the obligation to have the system inspected by a competent individual at specific intervals. Once a system is installed according to the manufacturers recommendations, the client is solely responsible for having the system...

    question about cabling

    Absolutely they work well on specific species, and they are very long lasting if installed at their final resting spot in a mature tree. However that leaves a lot of grey area. If the tree is not at maturity the cable should never be viewed as permanent. And depending on your location you may...

    question about cabling

    I stumbled upon this thread and am a little shocked to read some of these statements. When I describe cabling systems I think in terms of steel and synthetic. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, however, synthetic can be installed in both a dynamic and static configuration. Yes...

    More views of SRS lanyard implementations with C. Hook and short lanyard

    I've had my Hitch Hiker 2 on my lanyard this season. It's heavy and will eventually be replaced with something lighter but man is it handy for setting up a secondary SRT system. I need another Akimbo!

    Hardware Hauler

    X2 on the battery tool bags. I keep all my major gear in a Milwaukee tool bag. Very robust...and free. For light rigging I have a 1/2 line in a rope bag and I have a smaller rope bag that fits on top with a mini POW and some other pulleys and trinkets. For my static line setup (haul line or...

    What kind of tree is this?

    Looks like a Larix to me. We only have Tamarack and European larch around here but I remember seeing a blue variety like this down in Salt Lake City.

    My Apologies to all.

    Wishing you the best in your recovery Rico. I did my fib in 2011. Similar situation but in winter conditions. It's a long recovery but I'm sure you'll be back in the saddle, even stronger than before.

    Chainsaw Bar?

    I'm trying to decide between the 18v Makita and the Stihl 161T. Does anyone have experience with the two? I know the Stihl will likely be the better saw but it's almost double the price and I'm sure it's worth it.

    SRT device poll

    Great discussions. Has me thinking about the Unicender. I find my Akimbo and Rope Runner to be very similar in performance once they were broke in and adjusted. Ease of midline "attachabilty" is high up on my priority list and for this reason I prefer my Akimbo. Sap isn't an issue of mine as I...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Glad this started back up again. I am trying to get a different set up than what I've seen but it's always cool to see how others are still banging off work without a huge operation.

    Back problems in tree care

    This routine has helped me a lot. Very much a yoga based approach, focuses on lower back stabilizers and loosening up hammies, QL, etc. I try and do it everyday. This may not help you recover from a new injury when inflammation is high but in combination with chiro you may find some progress in...
