    Fertilizer System

    As of now we don’t do enough fertilizing to justify the price of a nice mounted rig. We have been using the spikes and hammering them in. I’m not against the solid fertilizer I’ve even read the argument that using them in the fall is beneficial because they can break down in deposits instead of...

    What's your preference of Rigging Ring slings?

    Everyone has there go to favourite slings no doubt but all of this is not relevant unless we know what you do the most of. Your scope and general tasks determine your tools. I have 15’ double beast xrr slings of 3/4” tenex but more often I reach for my 3’ lg xrr whoopie. But if I get away with...

    Looking for ways to reduce quote time

    Unfortunately we deal with people with tree problems as a general rule of thumb. People don’t call up and say my tree is perfect doesn’t require anything so you best get out here quick lol. I look at google images to narrow some things down but I insist on going out to every job. Google doesn’t...

    Need help deciding on a heavy-duty rigging setup..

    I tend to stick with 1/2” A) I don’t carry 5 different diameter ropes on each truck B) I like a rope I can grip in my hands to give a good pull and hand fatigue with thinner lines makes it not worth it to me C) Every different rope has its own size, stretch, swl, how a knot looks and loads...

    Need help deciding on a heavy-duty rigging setup..

    To do the actual math on rigging for one set answer is pretty much an insane notion. Rope wet or dry, exact consistency in rigger, pendulum, drop, rope stretch, tree flex, wind, wood variations, foliage or bud or twig density or angle, was your anchor point tightened and stretched 1/4”, etc this...

    Need help deciding on a heavy-duty rigging setup..

    SWL or WLL is set at a 5:1 ratio for the industry. So if there’s a good chance of shock load and that is well beyond the swl you may want to revamp your system or plan if your swl is so close to its limit you’re worried about a failure pump the brakes take a different approach.

    Doubled aluminum rings

    When you watch oldfart’s videos he makes mention of bend radius as being nicer and more comparable to a pulley when he was stacking rings. I think that’s a good example of the visual people have. They get told 4:1 is an optimal bend radius by Sampson, etc. So for example they have a medium...

    Doubled aluminum rings

    The ring on the bridge has an amazing bend radius because the bridge is always held apart. The logical reason for the ring is friction and a singular attachment point. This could be done with a biner but I find when I’m making rigging systems etc people will take pieces off that can come off...

    Gecko Straps

    Thanks. I knew they were about an inch but thought if they were 3/4” that’d make a big difference

    Gecko Straps

    Hey everybody I’m looking for the length and width of the leather foot straps on a pair of gecko spurs. I know the generic length is 26” but the width eludes me and I forgot mine at work. For this matter I assume and spur strap should be the same as long as it is it will fit in the buckle...
