  1. Magnum783

    15 years of doing tree work and had my first property damage today.

    Smashed a boat and a shed all in one shot was young and super super dumb. Tried to fell a oak stem in to an opening did I mention the oak was hallow. Oh it was bad

    Landscapers can be an absolute pain there is sugar coating that one.

    Toro Stx38 vs Carleton SP5014

    If you do order a Carlton order directly from James Patrick @ Carlton he was great to deal with. The maneuverability leaves a little to be desired.

    Toro Stx38 vs Carleton SP5014

    Toro is hydro driven head and the Carlton is a gear. I personally own the Carlton and it works great. I have run the toro too and the Carlton blows it out of the water in my opinion as far as grinding the toro was going to win the maneuverability test. The blade on a stump grinder is not...

    Revolver and quickie could both be explained much better by a quick trip over to treestuff and enter both into the search function.

    Saddle Gear

    Welcome to the buzz, where are you located I am only asking because there is a newcastle wyoming didn't know if you were just up the the road. I never leave the ground without a quickie or screw link so many uses. A spare hit cord and hitch climber setup is always something I think about if...

    Contract climber diaries

    @TimBr I think the opposite it gives them the freedom to not worry if it goes over they can figure the price as they dictate what they do. I have been asked to give a day rate and to that I usually reply if I am going to have to estimate how long to do the job I just as well do the whole thing...

    That is a fact, you are expected to perform. If you damage a rope you had better have a spare with you. You had best have spare bars and chains if not just spare saws. Also rigging gear sky is the limit. GRCS had best be on your wish list if not already hanging out in the garage. Also...

    Contracts contracts contracts. I can't say it enough. Have a lawyer help you draw it up. I will offer mine if you would like to see it just shoot me a line and consider it done. While you are at getting your contract done and already paying a lawyer discuss things like Workman's comp, E&O...

    Cottonweeds I like it, they don't make a lanyard long enough for the way they grow around here.

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

    Oh well that got easier if it's not any harder than that. I despise grinding! There is no shield able to conceal the dust

    Oh my that is horrid, do you have a grind stone for your Bridgeport. Massage that thing extensively and it will be good to go.

    @wyatt spruck makes total sense well done. I was more asking for clarification before I chimed in. That is exactly what I have experienced. Just making sure I didn't assume, we all know what happens then.

    Can you explain the lanyard position part better. I always tend to move my flip line down to my lower Ds when I am only skinny and leaning stuff.

    Best used 18" chipper

    Somehow OSHA does not get the humor in "oops that just stopped working". I agree the Kiss method in machinery is where I like it. Hence why I own a Carlton stumper not a Vermeer the Vermeer wouldn't run with my gloves on. Nope not going to have that in WYO it's cold here til June.
