    STIHL SHOP MANUALS

    Hi Don, welcome to the buzz. Notice the date of the last post in this thread is from Jan 2011. I did a little digging and found that Treetrim hasn't been on here in like 20 months so maybe won't see your reply.

    Fun thread - "Must Have... ?"

    Wonder gloves, those cheap little blue smurf grippy gloves.

    Inexpensive Visor

    www.rxsafety.com for those in need of prescription safety glasses or prescription sunglasses. I like how the plastic visor of my Kask seems to block more of the fine dust than a typical wire mesh visor. But yeah they're pricey

    Bye Bye FL

    We've done this here in MN and it is fun, although I feel that the setup and changeover should not be a timed part of the event, as these are critical functions that require concentration not speed. The race is only from ground to bell IMO. As a low 20s OK footlocker I will not miss it. I only...

    Major Decision

    I feel your pain Steve. Kind of in the same boat here. I could continue sub climbing but for how long? Employee shortage makes a traditional startup tree service almost impossible. I think the best answer is to invest in the k-boom/dump body and a mini articulating loader - I could practically...

    Help understanding advantage

    Maybe turn the fiddle blocks around so the cam cleat is at the top?

    Unicender $ 200

    You're swimming in some grey water there, if you didn't buy it brand new then you don't have many options. You bought a used product at a used price. As for misrepresenting??? Don't all advertisers stretch the truth a bit to sell you their product? I would say the wear in the pics is fairly...

    Google...

    I personally am sick of all these leeching marketing companies trying to weasel their way into my profit margin. We're out there with boots on the ground doing real work to generate income and they think they can just sit at home and cold call me and get me to give them some of that income just...

    Never gets old...

    and they've been standing dead for a few years too? Some peoples kids, where do they get these ideas? Like there are tree guys just sitting around waiting for trees to die so they can get the precious firewood and get rich and fat from one big 10 free tree removals job? My house has some really...

    New to me felling method

    Interesting, the part about keeping the butt airborn. I've seen this sort of keyway cut before but never tried it. Just yesterday I had to flop my spar right next to an aluminum fence and over some delicate pavers, I cut a tall stump and rigged it with the porty just like rigging a top, and...

    Leaving on the branches

    That's always the scariest cut (not that we've ever been scared right?), the topping cut. Experience has shown that the fear factor is drastically reduced if I can get those tops out early in the process when there are some lower branches remaining. Harmonic dampening. Sometimes in conifers I'll...

    Super static

    Good question I'm surprised no replies yet. Super-static implies no shock absorption by the rope, compared to Dynamic ropes on the other end of the scale for rock climbing. Most arborist lines fall in the category of semi-static, around 2%-7% elongation. The key here is the slack generated...

    Contract Climbing questions

    Seriously, use word of mouth to find yourself a good agent who knows our industry and they'll be able to give you the best answer.

    I understand what you want but..

    When they change their mind on the "no haul" option after seeing the sea of debris filling their back yard - doh! Now it's gonna cost you TWICE as much as the original quote for disposal, or your husband and uncle can spend their next five Sundays dealing with the mess we just made.

    Is SRT really banned in Germany?

    The whole world's being run by insurance corps it seems. How about instead of banning these products let's encourage the manufacturers to get on the right page. Granted I don't know much about product testing/legal compliance issues but it seems like it wouldn't be too hard for RE, SingingTree...

    This is the Akimbo

    I think it has to do with the whether the rope is bent or allowed to run straight through. Same phenomenon with the HitchHiker and Unicender. When the device only sees half the weight it doesn't necessarily make it MORE grabby as would be expected. But when you try to use a RopeWrench in a DdRT...

    This is the Akimbo

    Maybe this has been answered but has anyone try the fatty Vortex in this yet? I had a chance to use it with a HitchHiker and loved the feel, gonna try it with a wrench as soon as UPS shows up. I'm guessing the 12.7 diameter would be squeezed pretty tight in the Akimbo. Dialing in the settings...
