    Brush trailers

    Just picked this trailer up last week. Its a good thing because our chipper blew a belt and we had to load the brush into the trailer.

    Any small companies do profit sharing?

    My business partner and I run our small tree company so I can not speak to profit sharing from a employer/employee perspective, but we have recently (within the last year) been offering a 10% referral fee to local home builders, contractors, pool companies and landscape companies and we have...

    Looking into New Rope?

    I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this rope...spliced fairly easily with a simple class 1 double braid, runs amazing with a wrench and akimbo, has held up extremely well to my ascenders and overall has been a really great rope. It knots well and is not overly stiff, but doesn't flatten...

    Subcontracting Spider Lift Rate

    That seems a little low to me. Granted I am not an owner of a spider jack, but it is a specialized and expensive piece of equipment. You are also a skilled operator and tree worker. On top of that you are responsible for the maintenance and floating of the equipment. I assume since they are...

    Breaking Splices, Sewn Eyes and Other Strange Things.

    It is my understanding that the rope typically will fail before the splice. Particularly in sewn terminations because there isno change in rope diameter. Would be an interesting experiment for sure...There is also a chamce my understanding is completely wrong...lol

    8mm Teufelberger HRC Thermashield

    I have found that I can get away with 1 less wrap on my michoacan with the 8mm. I was once frustrated with the grabby-ness and semi binding, but once I made the adjustment it was mint. The only real issue I have had with a older HRC cord was that it would have some memory and on ascent the coils...

    8mm Teufelberger HRC Thermashield

    Great hitch cord IMO. Really holds up well and is super durable and heat resistant. Keep in mind that if you care about splicing it will most likely be a naked eye splice...although @Brocky has shown a covered version or a sewn termination. I prefer it to epi cord because I find it is more...

    Friction hitch for foot locking

    I am no pro at footlocking (and believe me there are some here) but I prefer a kleimheist with 10mm cord. I find the 8mm bites a little to hard for my taste. Are you footlicking with a doubled line or single?

    Brand/company Q's...Is Notch owned by Sherrill? What brands are worth/not-worth buying from?

    I was under the impression that notch sources out all of their branded equipment. They are in the retail business, not manufacturing. I have heard edelrid mentioned in association as well as Harken for thier rigging rings and safebloc. Happy to hear another quality name in the industry in...

    end2end splice

    I do not believe there are manufacture instructions from Cousin. I do know that @Brocky and @Samsquench have gone over it here in a thread called cousin atrax splice...good luck and keep us posted on the progress

    end2end splice

    Interesting question...especially since the cousin and splife instructions are out there now. Looking forward to hearing thoughts from some experts. Thanks

    DON'T EVEN TRY IT!

    I, for one, enjoy when a grizzled veteran, who has earned that title, "educates" younger practitioners. This is a secondary job for me, but I am in another line of work where team work, communication and hierachy reins supreme. I would be lying if I said I have never been called out for...

    Rope Wrench - Hitch/Rope compendium.

    I am not an utra lite (185 lbs) and I have found that with a 28" 8mm cord I can run a 4 wrap if I go under 2 (4/2) and it runs like glass...almost scary fast...but still grabs when I need it to. I think the longer legs of the 28" causes just enough friction to hold. I have also added a half...

    im that man

    I feel I am going to come off sounding like an ass, but I am going to give you some constructive criticism...although this is in formal, it is still a job application. Would you submit a written application or resume littered with splling and grammatical errors? Professionalism extends beyond...
