    Storing a branch manager

    If you ever can't get the coupler to reconnect, loosening a hose-end fitting at the grapple relieves pressure for connection. Different amount of pressure on the grapple or different temps might make it hard, as best I can tell IME.

    Dump bed issues

    It seems like wires are cheap and easy to replace. Possibly before or while changing the motor. What do you think @Reach ?

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I'm a forestscaper. The madrona treehouse property has a volcano view/ Puget Sound view that I've greatly revealed from the whole back/ partial side of the house in ways the homeowners keep saying that they couldn't have imagined. They have 2 live-arching fruit trees. There's an elementary...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    The 450 pound Go-Anywhere chipper. 14 hp. Narrower than a standard gate. Without the axle-widening kit, he and I got it uphill and down on trails and first floor. After running a Billygoat (13 hp walk- being brush hog), I think I can get my lawn tractor in the trail system we've built...

    Teach me about dump trailers

    A 7x12 gives lots more loading options. Easy to get 2 machines in. Ramps can both fit on one side. Still minimal use.

    Switching between SRS & MRS....

    Revolver sheaves are too small, ime. I use a Petzl pulley biner f 3:1 limb walks and hauling up a saw. I think some people prefer some friction more than a pulley friction. Girth hitch a ring???

    use tail to setup secondary system

    I just saw the trick for a self- tending Blake's... the tail of the hitch gets tied like a sheet bend on the termination side of the rope, pulling up the Blake as one climbs. Previously, I'd seen a Blake's tied with another Blake's to self tend. I have used zero Blake's.

    Arborist/ Climber job listing details--- your thoughts

    How would you differentiate levels of climbing arborist in a job listing? As well, non- climbing arborist work (Japanese maples, orchards), RCX, consulting, etc? Some work is basic/ moderate. There are a lot a lot of trees that we climb (I climb) that are probably considered challenging...
