    Kevin Bingham knee ascender?

    I've been running a cable reel the last 5-6 years. Found a good one that lasts a long time. Gearkeeper is the brand I use. If there's any interest I can post some pictures.

    Anyone been hit by a throw weight?

    My very first throw, my third day of tree I was asked to set a line to pull a tree over. The ball got a little stuck on some small twigs so I gave it a good yank, as you do, and it shot back hit me in the forehead and laid me out and foreshadowed my entire relationship with throw line.

    Spider Jack 3 pg 91 ??

    any friction saver is going to work just fine with the sj3. For pruning I'll grab the sj3 on the rare occasion I'm running MRS. For crane removals and such I go with my updated zig zag

    Spider Jack 3 pg 91 ??

    The spider jack 3 doesn't handle large natural crotches. When the angle of the two legs of rope get spread, for example on spar work with no friction saver the clutch will not grab and you will freefall to the point where the clutch can grab again. My sj3 only gets used with a friction saver for...

    Avant grapple?

    When we bought our machine it came with the avant grapple on it and didn't want to wait for a bmg to come in. We returned the grapple in a week for a bmg. It couldn't get around moderately sized brush piles, felt heavy on the machine and didn't have the grip for large logs.

    Grapple truck

    A lot of it depends on how you work. For us doing a lot of work in back yards and rigging down long pieces to our avant being able to just run a long rig through the chipper is faster than cutting and stacking for the grapple truck. We definitely have more capacity for brush with chipping over...

    I think it's important to ask what the goal of your channel is. Is your target audience your clients or other Arborists?
