    Potential ramrod mini skid steer buyers beware

    I own a ram rod 900T... the company sucks hard. So difficult to get their one off stupid expensive parts. Little to no help with simple issues, for real they could not even get me some parts they put on the machine. I ordered wheels from them, the wheels did not fit and they would not pay...

    Set Up Time?

    15 minutes or less and some one better be cutting. I get a bit manic if we push 20min and a saw is not running...we joke about diving out the door of the truck with saw in hand, before it comes to a stop at the site, rolling into the lawn, firing the saw up as we stand up and running at the 1st...

    Set Up Time?

    This box has evolved more since this photo. We have tool boxes and such fixed on top, so they don't slide around. We have the rigging and climbing gear organized for rapid deployment out the passenger side. There is a lot more gear/tools in there now, but it all fits nicely still. All these...

    New Toro Tx 1000 Wide Track

    Legit... Yet being part of the thread and owning a tx1000, Dave is spot on about the bucket situation. I bought a really heavy, small $500 bucket and I want a big bucket that suits tree work!

    Running out of rope and not tieing a knot

    Word. The tree climber was just a guy I knew, the rock climber was a good buddy. When descending, I like to verify my line below for any issues, (aside from safety) due to the fact I enjoy bombing out at max speed!

    Running out of rope and not tieing a knot

    Tying a not is a terrible idea for tree guys. You should always confirm there is rope under you, period...what if it got cut? I knew a climber who fell off the end of his rope twice, cause he cut it and did not know it. For real...Second time the fall hurt him. He is paralyzed from the waist...
