    gibbs or micrograb?

    [ QUOTE ] If I were to use and camming adjuster I'd use a Microcender or one of ISC's. The shape and size fits my hand better than a Gibbs. But... ...I would rather use this setup. [/ QUOTE ] Tom, What size/style cord are you using for your hitch? I like that swivel set up!

    Oak Problem

    [ QUOTE ] The first step is to take in foliar and soil samples into a nearby testing lab (extension services at UCDavis); this way you can rule out macro/micro nutrient issues or soil contamination depending on the test results. I would be doing a close aerial inspection to look for any...

    Oak Problem

    Guys That's not a girdling root, but after I looked at the picture I can see how it looks like one! I first hand excavated this tree a few years ago, then did some more airspade work on it last year. No girdling roots, no fungus, not buried, perfect flare. Also, no irrigation anywhere near the...

    autofeed not working

    Try turning the outputs off, then turning them back on again. I have a 150, and this happens w/my autofeed. For some reason, if I disable the outputs, then switch them back on, it works fine again. I have a control panel by my ignition, I think I hit the up button.

    reimbursement for equipment *DELETED*

    Re: reimbursement for equipment [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] However, I do offer gear at the start. A low end saddle, entry level line, ringed friction saver, and a handsaw. After that initial batch of gear, they are on their own. That seems pretty reasonable to me. Also, I think if you pay for your own...

    Pfanner Gladiator Chainsaw Pants

    Hows the sizing for you guys? I notice they only sell them in odd size. Usually, I go for 32W in arborwear, but after lots of washing/drying, they get a bit too snug at the waist. What do you get, a 31 or a 34? Thinking about the stretch airs, not the gladiators

    reimbursement for equipment *DELETED*

    Re: reimbursement for equipment I remember years ago, when I was a carpenter.. No employer ever supplied you with your personal tools. You had to have your own tool bags, skill saw, hand tools, etc. This seems to be the norm in all the trades. Climbing equipment is highly personal...
