    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    I'm not sure if it helps, but I skip the knot. I throw right handed but I hold a lot of the tension with my left hand. My right hand can avoid gripping it so tightly and is almost a redirect and pendulum creator. If your too close to the tree it can cause you to want to release late for a...

    Throw bag-line accuracy issues

    Coats in this weather effect me negatively too. I have to take mine off no matter how cold to do a decent throw. A hoodie doesn't bother me. The type and aize of throwline makes a difference too. I struggle to throw one that's too thin accurately. Is the late release due to trying to...

    more fun with knucklebooms

    I found this on Google, probably should have started my search there, from NJ crane experts. It sounds like you do similar, except without the tie in sling, you run your climb line through the oval directly where their shackle is shown?

    more fun with knucklebooms

    What is everyone's preferred tie in on a knuckleboom (locationon the boom)? I'm used to using the pictured tie in wrapped around the cable above the ball. The boom is the PK63. I'd prefer to use the same tie in sling, but I'll buy a different one for this crane if needed. Do you change...

    We haven't short jacked this one yet, but its been rock steady so far working in any direction off of the truck.

    Yes. Some of this is due to the stick crane works off of the back of the truck and this knuckle works off of the front of the truck. The front stabalizers on the knuckleboom set at the width of the truck and the rear outriggers of the stick crane are nearly 40 feet wide. Allowing us to set up...

    Cool. It's been a great truck so far (granted only 2 weeks so far) it had some bad luck on the drive here, but nothing that could have been avoided. Just a normal break down that probably was never an issue before the sale. He has also answered every phone call that my operator has had...

    I know he will get much faster at it, but the first job we did on Monday, I believe would have been faster with his 50 ton stick crane. That said, I don't think that crane would have gotten level where we had to set up. But it was a tall Oak with a good reach over the house. And over 110°...

    Yes he did. He's owned it for just two weeks now. The FB profile that he bought it from is David Treeman. I'm not sure if thats actually his last name.

    Try cropping your pictures a little, it's an extra step, but that works for me on my phone.

    Reputable chainsaw tuner

    I had a 261 modded by mastermind work saws. Awesome little saw that everyone liked running. Sadly a couple of years later it started melting pistons and the local saw shop couldn't figure out why. I'm certain Randy would have looked it over for me, but by that time the saw didn't owe me...

    A couple of easy setups for multiple easy trees today, followed by a tight setup for a single limb. The apartment complex chose not to have the parking spaces cleared that we needed, so we went up and over the three story building using a few spaces that happened to be empty.

    Fixing old arbortech toolboxes ( L pack style)

    Check your local fb marketplace. I've seen steel sheeting on there before for a discount. It may have surface rust, but it's not bad to clean up where you need to weld. You might find a welder there too for cheaper than list price. Since you're new to welding, avoid any galvanized steel...

    Tree related work you shouldn't need insurance for?

    There is plenty of risk while working on the ground. Felling trees, hangers falling while working near trees, property damage due to equipment, bodily injury while running equipment, and people are injured with log splitters quite often. I know of two injuries off hand involving operating a...

    I appreciate all input. I can definitely see using slings in the future on the wood. This is the second job he's used it on, so we'll probably do a couple of more jobs before sending a climber up. Just so that he can build muscle memory on the controls. I've used this operator for years...

    Mek'n a Pin Oak a small Ash today. My crane operator just got the truck last week, so he/we are still figuring out the ins and outs for efficiency.

    I did find the chainlink below it I was committed to the plan and already had the notch set before I found the chainlink, so I powered through it and now I have some filing ahead of me.

    Might need to sharpen this chainsaw. It took roughly 40 years to get all of the way through. A little nudge with the bobcat and it finished coming off. The homeowner said his uncle tried to pull the tree down when he owned the house. Obviously failed and they never removed the chain...

    Milwaukee telescoping polesaw

    I just picked this thing up, my first milwaukee power tool, and first impressions are great. I've only used it on one job and I believe it cuts faster than my stihl ht131 did. I originally planned to pick up the quick connect version of the saw and I found a video showing the performance...
