My setup is a RW ZK-1 with a ABR/Treestuff 12" stiff tether and HC pulley. Been using 28" 8mm beeline e2e on Samson Velocity with a 4-wrap Distel. It works OK at first but eventually gets very bindy and the hitch constantly needs to be loosened up. There is so much friction that it won't work...
I have always run a wire core and a GIBBS on conifers and never had a problem with sap. I don't see why you couldn't run one on a rope lanyard. They are rugged and not too pricey.
Very true! We have disinfected between cuts before on some really nice ornamentals, but it was just a quick dip in bleach water, not a 10 minute soak. I have heard that some use Lysol spray. A spray would be nice because a bucket of bleach water takes up a lot of room in the truck. There...
I have read all about it on numerous occasions and have not yet found a conclusive answer. I understand that a bleach solution is an accepted method but I am curious about the phytotoxicity of the bleach. Also bleach takes a lot of downtime to actually be effective and can be corrosive to...
What is the best way to disinfect pruning tools between trees? We have always used bleach water when a situation called for it. I have heard that bleach is phytotoxic. Is there a better way?
I had the privilege of attending a level 3 advanced assessment course which included multiple demos of the PICUS, Resistograph, and static pull test system. I walked away with the feeling that I would want to have access to all of this equipment before undertaking a level 3 assessment. Each...
I have always liked these pants for winter. I treat mine with waterproofing spray. No amount of long johns will make Gladiator Vents work in the winter here!

We use the white bottle Powerservice at every fill up. Double dose in the winter. Same manufacturer as 911. The better fuel places here cut their diesel with kerosene in the winter so some guys don't add anything to their fuel.

I wish mine would have gelled up that morning! Found coolant in the oil so I shut it right down.
It does not have to be zero degrees to have a fuel problem if you got bad fuel, lots of condensation in fuel tank, etc... Also wind chill is the enemy. We carry jugs of 911 and spare fuel filters...
Nice. Is there a way to make it work with a Garmin if there is no cellular signal?
So far the best option I have found for this scenario is still Treeworks which is an ArcGIS add on .... And this works best with a Trimble or similar handheld unit. These have a better GPS than a phone or...
That's good. That figure does seem crazy. I will say that Brian has been an excellent resource for me and he really knows his shit about everything ALC.
Gets expensive quick I know the guy I bought mine from did over 10k in hose work and they didn't even replace all of them.

@ROYCE curious if you found somewhere to have your truck painted?
Also, I just saw this, don't know if it applies to you or not:
