    The 550xp is a Weapon

    Thank You Tree Logic, and yes, I couldn't be happier with my new chosen profession (that I fell ass-backwards into lol). I feel strong and accomplished at the end of the day, and I get great satisfaction out of providing a great service, meeting lots of different types of people, and being in a...

    SNOW!

    Wow, you have your work positioning down to a science; impressive to watch. Great video overall too. The snow adds a nice touch for the viewing. And I know that's ALL it adds, lol, working in the cold and snow makes everything harder. Wet gloves, mechanical malfunction, strength reduction on...

    The 550xp is a Weapon

    I didn't mean to to be cavalier about your advice Ben, I take heed to it whole-heartedly, and I appreciate your comments. Like I said, I have been building my business as well as my practices from the ground up. I think back to the way my dad used to run shit and I am aghast. He never even owned...

    The 550xp is a Weapon

    Damn Fellas, this sure feels like a flogging, lol. But thats alright, I've gotten used to it over the last couple years since I started my own outfit with my fiancee. I have had to learn through trial by fire. I do not have a strong foundation of proper/technical education in arboriculture...

    The 550xp is a Weapon

    The first Pine I topped out I was just on my lanyard, all the rest of the trees I was tied in twice (lanyard and a central TIP). Maybe it was hard to see from the video. I feel like you guys think that I must be a major advocate for one handing the chainsaw. Not the case. I am not trying to say...

    The 550xp is a Weapon

    You are correct, they are not yet ansi rated, but they do a great job keeping out the saw dust (especially during crane work or blocking down large sections and the wind is blowing right in your face). I have also had a good experience with them deflecting small sticks and branches (when walking...

    Are you saying you never one hand the chainsaw?

    The 550xp is a Weapon

    You may have a point about the one handing on the rear handle saw. We all one hand our saws aloft, good habit? bad habit? there is alot of debate. I personally feel that without one handing the chainsaw aloft you limit yourself considerably. I realize that a top handle saw is much safer to one...

    Massive White Pine Takedown

    Haha no worries I can handle it, yeah i won't stop filming any time soon. As long as I don't let it affect productivity I will continue to play around with it. It's a fun hobby for sure and has been a great way to promote my business. I'm startin to get a little bit of a handle on it, my best...

    Bixler new video. Better than ever.

    Bixler, you are seriously a master. What an awesome video! Curious how long it takes to edit and produce something like that, lol, but you definitely have a natural artistic talent for videography. Keep em coming!!

    Massive White Pine Takedown

    No joke, that was a big bastard!! Must have felt good when you rigged that last top. Did it really take 8 days? What were the dimensions on that one? I feel like (from what I have read and seen in videos) that the trees in Australia dwarf the trees here in western Maine. I'm sure it has a lot to...

    Massive White Pine Takedown

    They were sick of cleaning up dead limbs, pine needles, and pine cones all the time. Plus, one of the two we took down (the one not captured on video) was leaning toward the street/power lines. Not everyone takes such a proactive approach to removing their trees before they become a hazard but I...

    Massive White Pine Takedown

    About 60 feet away they had a thinly paved driveway that you couldn't see due to the snow. I took about 30 feet of the top out, and when I felled the stub I was about ten feet from the edge of the driveway.

    Thanks Dave, I appreciate the response, I'm sure the internally mounted ones are superior, thanks again.
