    I couldn't agree more with Luke's mission, it's nearly word for word SherrillTree's commitment for over 30 years. Good luck managing growth sir, and keep in mind that your company will be judged by integrity, as well as its weakest link. Your company spokesman, Nick recently stepped into this...

    Beats me. I merely pointed out the irony of Bonner posting a video of an over-ambitious, blowhard polititian in response the very humble words of a hard working friend/associate of mine, and the next thing I know smeone's beating down the Treebuzz door. There was ZERO "out-of-hand bickering,"...

    Excuse me, but who removed my "irononic response" to Nick's "Rubio video" post? Can't imagine... Never-mind, it can be recreated, probably better though. Let me think about it.

    Good job Sean. It's hard to speak to the Canadian market except to say that Sherrilltree has zero control over Vermeer Canada, or any other dealer(s), just as our competitor(s) has not with dealers they resell to. Look past the spite bud. You're a great family man (and hockey player). I'm proud...

    Who (or who's dad) remembers this bad boy?

    Wow, that's a good one ...crack heads aside. I remember my first climb with a chainsaw in tow like it was yesterday. Was a tall cherry that needed to be removed from my crowded yard and I'd never climbed for a removal, only for learning/recreational purposes. I just recall having to consciously...

    Cabling and Bracing as an Arborist

    Kevin, Zero dispute with your points regarding this tree and this situation, just with one piece of Guy's post. In my opinion he was spot on that this tree needs to be zipped up with bracing (botton to top) as well as the other point about crown reduction (vs thinning). The tree's "sail" needs...

    Cabling and Bracing as an Arborist

    Seriously Guy? This is simply and absolutely untrue. I'm surprised that you would type such a remark so frankly, as if you've investigated the subject and are reporting facts. CLEARLY you haven't, and possibly even avoided dynamic materials because of that reason. Among all of the arguments that...

    Well said sir. All of it. I couldn't agree more.

    Who (or who's dad) remembers this bad boy?

    In '98, when Poulan announced they were discontinuing the most popular tree climbing saw in America, I pulled 2 from inventory and stashed em in a closet, for sentimental reasons mostly ...and a day like this. Neither have so much as sniffed petrol. Think I'll give them away this year, here...

    Handsaw choices

    When Silky first started shipping to America (appx 2001) they had problems with teeth breaking off and blades kinking. Users were pushing blades considerably harder than Japanese users. So they started producing blades specifically for this market.

    Handsaw choices

    Shreddy, If you're buying your Silky saws via Amazon from Japanese suppliers then you're getting a thinner blade than what Silky exports to Sherrilltree for the American market. Many years ago Silky beefed up the thickness for our stronger population. We stand behind the American designed...

    Collapsed trees with tree support systems?

    "Ps. Cobra I believe has a useful life of 8 or 10 years. So really it should not be in service beyond that point." Precisely. Besides their position being outgrown by the host tree, dynamic systems loose elasticity, and as noted, risk girdling if not maintained properly. They're not a place it...

    Collapsed trees with tree support systems?

    I've heard about literally hundreds of stem failures above steel cabling, especially within storm-damaged areas of the Carolinas and north, but few on cobra. No pictures to offer. Perhaps in this era of electronica, climbers are more likely to break out their phones to document. Looking forward...

    ABR Rigging Thimbles

    I don't like darts. However, I'd be glad to hear Dan (whom I consider a friend) deny specifics sited and witnessed by many. Ultimately, I think the quality of materials spoke for themselves and we halted production. Peace

    ...oops, premature post-ulation ...in this age of social media clamor.

    ABR Rigging Thimbles

    In response to someone's sweet dart in the back, and for what it's worth, SherrillTree didn't produce a conduit-style friction saver (new material for old tool) until 3-plus years after witnessing Dan House in the company of a Taiwanese tree climber selling the exact same devise, uncontested...

    CMI ProKnot Usage?

    I certainly concur that a lot of tools pose danger in an environment where young men are managing and working beneath heavy wood. I've even recall an injury with a leaf rake! Having worked with and among others trying to attain high branches using throw weights i can attest to the risk in being...
