    Bandit 1890HD and GMC Topkick Combo

    Oversized infeed and wheels. You should be able to see them about half way through the video.

    Bandit 1890HD and GMC Topkick Combo

    I ran the business on the side when I was still teaching. The chipping one of these does in one hour is equivalent to three or four hours on a 12 inch machine.

    Saw purchase help

    Just a couple of thoughts: 1. Which brand has the better mechanic available for you? For years I went with Husky simply because the dealer and mechanic were both reputable stand-up guys who stood behind their product and work. 2. How often do you need a 36 inch bar? If it's even once a month...

    Choked Biner Rigging

    I've watched a running bowline as well as a choked 'biner loosen if not come completely off when the piece being lowered encounters resistance when coming down. A green groundie who lets it run, but seizes the load can create a bungee effect. I watched that happen with the running bowline 15...

    Choked Biner Rigging

    An extra turn around the piece will alleviate the droop. I always take an extra when I can.

    Rock Exotica

    Bought a 2.6 Omni Block back in the spring. Used it on a redirect for the winch a couple of months ago. When I took it off the tree it was bound to the capture ear for the side plate had broken off. How I'm not sure, and the block couldn't have experienced more than 1000 lbs. I took it back to...

    So as I ponder chippers you guys and gals get to answer all my annoying questions

    I've owned a 90XP. It is not going to be nearly as productive as a 200 with a winch. The winch will save your back as well as a ton of time. Depending on age and condition, both of those prices sound high. No matter what size you get, make sure it has enough power. For a 200, that's at...

    Spurs

    https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?item=1861 These are super short in adjustment and go well with Kleins and Bashlins (my favs). I'm sure they're good with other combos too. The neoprene will need several hours to get broken in, but when set-in they're unparalleled in comfort!

    CMI - ROPE JACK

    I'm a bit hefty in the tree like Oldoak and Simpleiowa. With our body weight alone we could easily exceed 800 lbs with one hand (and I'm probably the lightest and most weak of the three.) We don't intend to exceed limits, it's just a consequence of gravity. I promise I won't overload mine...

    CMI - ROPE JACK

    I can see sooo many uses..., and sooo many problems... In disaster relief I've used a rope puller in the canopy many times and it's always been hassle. This thing will be perfect for those scenarios. However, I can see overloading it happen very quickly. Do the holes in the handle mean the...

    Old folks

    Uncle Hugh did his last climb at 83. He was quite productive at 75. He is now 94 and still walks a couple of miles a day.

    Rope Runner vs Rope Wrench for spar work

    That's the only time I have fallen in 27 years of climbing. It was early on, but I've never tried it again. To "lock" an f8 you'd need to tie it off (there's no such thing as a soft lock in tree work). Why not take that same time to tie in properly with a safe system? No doubt! That's a must...

    Put me in line for the GRCS if it falls through with the guys above.

    a video worth analyzing

    As the top comes off you can see it tear away. You have to wonder what led them to believe their approach was a good idea. Another example of learning what NOT to do. Hopefully this will keep someone from making the same mistakes.
