    hard hats for groundies

    We need something with chin straps that will take a beating. We use to provide the groundies with cheap construction type hard hats and have seen one too many fall off during critical times it should stay secured. Therefore, we since developed our safety policy that all hardhats must also be...

    hard hats for groundies

    We outfitted all our groundies last season with the Rockman hard hats from treestuff and nearly all of them are falling part. The suspension adjustment knobs, come apart, skip and no longer adjust. Would like something that will hold up but is also affordable. We have 25 hard hats to purchase...

    Marketing your grapple saw

    Rick, when I built my crane, which was in 2014, there was only one Palfinger tree co. that I could consult with that had one at that time, David Driver. You did not have your palfinger, nor did Glen have a Palfinger. Glen was in the testing phases of his Palfinger kboom in February 2015...

    Marketing your grapple saw

    Up until just a few years ago the only guy I knew that was using a palfinger crane in tree removal operations was David Driver ,Xman on here. David began the push to market and sell tree guys on Palfinger. David also encouraged Westminster to get involved in the tree care industry. At the time...

    Fassi 330B grapple saw?

    You need hose reels. Looked into it before. Not worth it IMO. Build a new crane specifically intended for the grapple saw from the start. Do you run a kboom now? If so, do you think you will increase efficiency with adding a grapple saw? Or is your intent to decrease labor? Or increase safety?

    Tagged Spider Leg Slings

    If you don't have gunnebo crane hooks you are missing out. On our brush picks we normally use one round sling w/gunnebo hook as the main load bearing sling and two spliced Tenex slings in 20' lengths. We normally use more than one sling because it always comes off prettier, safer for the...

    ronin powered ascender

    I noticed most $ options are marked "6 months after campaign closes" but it doesn't say that for the ascender for the $799. When can I order and when will it ship? I'd like one ASAP! Kudos to a great invention!

    SENA SMH10 Troubleshooting

    I use to have that problem too. We have since switched to the wired mics and have them attached to the brim of the helmet. If you stick with boom mics you will keep replacing them. I've gone through nearly a dozen amongst our company

    Brushing out a big pine

    Good work and thanks for sharing the process. Any idea on what the bid was on that tree? I am guessing $14k

    Brushing out a big pine

    I guess it all depends on how large the brush is. A big pine with large horizontal limbs I could see where a smaller crane could help. Hard to say without seeing the tree, crane setup and landing zone. Sometimes we brush pines out then pick the stem because the situation makes sense.

    TreeStuff and SherrillTree Join Forces

    I'd be curious to know how many responding own their own business. Owning a multi-million dollar small business takes away your freedom, causes you to age and turn gray fast, deprives you of sleep, causes anxiety, leaves very little time for friends/family. Sure, you have big bucks in the bank...

    Manitowoc UTC 1700 JBT Crane

    To stay within a safe margin. A load chart is one critical piece of information that allows you to make safe judgements. Think of it as another tool. It alone isn't going to keep you safe but without its understanding you won't know what safe really is.

    Manitowoc UTC 1700 JBT Crane

    He knows his crane but doesn't know his load chart? The chart should be in or on the truck, no? That would be a red flag for me

    Any requests?

    I would like to see STIHL give back in repair/maintenance videos like how brush bandit does on youtube. We recently dropped STIHL a note regarding 20+ power pruner saw heads not oiling. Our local dealer wanted to charge us 70% the cost of a new pruner head to rebuild so we opted to replace them...

    Anyone have LASIK surgery done?

    Just had it done in January. I'm really happy at a few months post-op. Clearer vision made me a better arborist/crane operator.
