I hate bucket trucks.
Some of you guys are so hostile. I didn't say I hated bucket operators, just that I don't like that piece of gear. Hmmm, why so defensive? Did I hurt your feelings? :) I've been making money for 20 years without one, but I guess if I go in debt for the price of a bucket truck then the money...- shaddart

I hate bucket trucks.
Yeah I don't know why I mentioned being flicked like a booger- that wouldn't happen unless you really f***ed up. The incident I heard of the other day was a tree or large part of the tree falling onto the actual bucket, pushing it down, then slipping off creating a catapult effect, and the...- shaddart

I hate bucket trucks.
they are loud- all day long they are expensive as hell they tend to encourage pruning of the outer extremes, denying the arborist the interior point of view they crush root zones! (in yard) they are loud (sorry, i didn't hear you the first time) they encourage skipping the cut if the bucket...- shaddart

Uncontrolled swing
I've been pressured into working in the dark a few times this winter- complete BULLSH*T. Don't work in the freaking dark! Especially if you have to come back anyway. I mean seriously, if you take off your glasses because you can't see, but then you still can't see because you've already...- shaddart

wtb - old style Snapcut pole saw heads
It's getting hard to find these- right now you can only buy them with a 16 inch blade attached. If anyone has some of these stashed away they'd be willing to sell, let me know. I can buy them new with the big blade for about $20 plus shipping, but I'd like to just buy the heads, and bolt... -

Climbing a leaning stem without spikes...
Could you be more specific about how steep it is? Like is it almost vertical or are we talking a little more than a 45 degree angle or something in between? Are there any strong suckers that would hold the other end of your rope (around the main wood, of course)? If so you could set set a...- shaddart

Women Arborist Injured at New York Botanical garden?
We frequently revisit the topic of bees in trees in safety meetings. Maybe it could stick in all our minds because it rhymes so well: Bees in Trees. Having had several close calls and multiple stings myself, my alarm bells go off when*ever* I see any small ufo near the work site. It should be...- shaddart
