    Distractions

    I recently(3 weeks ago) had a job site injury that was my worst in years. A wake up call if you will. It seems lately me job site distractions have been off the hook. For some reason members of the general public and sometimes my clients feel as though it's ok to come up and start talking to me...

    Almost had my head taken off today.....

    I have had a similar incident. In my after the fact analysis I determined what I usually do after a close call. When the cable was caught under that limb it was time to stop, listen to the little voice in your head that says" something is different here". Given a few extra seconds of looking at...

    The Stein Arbor Trolley looks sweet

    I have discovered a new use for the AT: my next door neighbor shot and elk several mile out beyond a road. The field dressed animal was quartered, then loaded up and hauled out. All four quarters fit in one load. This would have equaled six to eight extremely heavy backpacks full of meat...

    The Stein Arbor Trolley looks sweet

    Ok a little more and that's it: I too have used mine every day and I estimate this device saved me no less than 10 hours this week. This tool , like I said, is not just a brush mover but a material handler. I have fondly named mine "arbor Charley" after my bro Charles who has dragged boat...

    The Stein Arbor Trolley looks sweet

    Ok here is what I am finding is the magic of the arbor trolley: When I bought it I was envisioning only using it to move material that I couldnt get my rig near. I am now finding it incredibly useful as a chipping "bench". Stacking the trolley about half loaded and then wheeling it right up to...

    The Stein Arbor Trolley looks sweet

    I put the arbor trolley to work the last two days and am really impressed. Very well thought out. In a strange way I feel foolish for not having this tool for years. I think it is going to add years to my career. All Y'all need to get you one. No lie.

    What is the salary range for climbers?

    it's one of the things that is "wrong" with our profession. Wages have barely crept up over the last twenty years. I feel in part due to us all having to constantly lower our prices to compete. It's a problem. How can we expect to get quality help when people can make the same or better money...

    Bucket truck: level or all wheels on the ground?

    I don't know what the manufacturers standards are but here is what I do: There is a possibility of the truck "teetering" with one or more wheels off of the ground . I will raise the truck higher than needed for level then stack cribbing under the wheel and then ease it back down. Gives me...

    OSHA Inspections

    I have been inspected. The best defence is to be in TOTAL compliance at that time. The guy who inspected me knew very little about what was and wasnt going on. He sat in his car and video taped us for a while before he approached. Another tip: watch for people watching you. There are always...

    when you get tired chunking down a spar, do this

    Sorry to be a buzzkill but.... Yes this fellow has mad log flipping skills. I seriously have a problem with this lax safety equipment. I regularly see pictures in the local media where I live of "arborists" in different state of ball cap and jeans attire. As well as most of my local competitors...

    customer service

    I wanted to say what a great experience shopping at the Sherrill booth was at the ISA show. Nice job Tobe and crew- I wanted a lot more stuff than I bought but it was nice to get to fondle a few things that I had only seen in the catalog. I cant wait to use my shiny new trinkets!
