I don't have much to offer in specific info on this machine but I will say that getting a big machine makes good sense if you're doing lots of stumps and you are not normally working in very tight quarters. We did a few removals at a house here in Detroit and were going to come back to do the...
I wrote letter for a client who's insurance told her to remove all limbs over the house from a huge Red Oak and a big White Oak that was basically all 8"-10" leaders, half of which were over the house. I laid out the risk of Oak Wilt, over-pruning, creating a hazard that didn't exist before...
Yeesh, hope his life isn't permanently altered and hope he learned a lesson. I had a similar situation recently and told the homeowner(also neighbor hired a crackhead to remove large failed limb on their side) to stay inside but watch closely and be ready to call 911.
I suppose you could also run the SRT leg tied thru the hole of the x-ring and the DRT rope around the outside like a pulley. Push the butterfly loop thru the hole and girth hitch that baby. Maybe more secure?
Yeah yeah but those Canadians are using those fancy folding fans to blow the smoke down at us. Alot of people are saying it. They're bad hombres. Our American smoke goes up and disappears into the sky!
Yeah every day. The more we meddle with stuff the worse it gets. Forest "management" practices seem to be focused on production timber harvesting. Fire is part of a natural cycle but it happens more often when we mess with nature.
Here in Detroit is some of the worst air quality. It's been smoky/hazy here since late afternoon yesterday and smells like a campfire. We also called off. This smoke plus the heat is just not worth pushing through.
You can get them a lot tighter with a lot less effort than velcro, as well as releasing them much more easily. The release takes deliberate action but is physically easy. Another problem that they solved for me is that I have found that even when I get my spurs nice and tight on the ground...
I bought the spikepod straps for my spurs and really like them for a good snug fit. A couple of the screws holding them together came apart and rather than replace the screws they just sent me the newest version of them and they're really great. I realize this isn't about the FTC spurs...
I was going to say the same thing. It sounds like you handled it very well. If it were me, the only thing I would have done differently is directly answer the question about ISA Certification. Get ahead of that and drive the narrative like you did with the other comments they made. We post...
