Looking for a new part to full time employee in Eugene Oregon. Experienced climber a must, energetic, enthusiastic and motivated. Must love what you do and not be burned out on the industry. Must be experienced in spurless climbing, big trees, and preferably comfortable with newer techniques...
I used to love the Zubat until.....I bought a Sugoi! Oceans nailed it with the stow options and it cuts better than anything else out there for bigger work. Silky for sure!

Thanks for the insight. I will further research both of these. The problem here is that these cankers are on some very large leaders that could/would damage the customer's house and possibly devastate the neighbors house. This tree is approx. 85 to 90 feet tall and every bit of 70 feet wide...
I got up into a Black Oak on Friday that looked completely normal and healthy form the ground. Upon entering the canopy I immediately noticed huge cankers at all the branch unions. The few co-dominant stems throughout the crown were unaffected but all other normal branch unions were. These...
