    I climb on Climb Right Spurs. I decided to try these a few years back, but I could never get adjusted to the spur angle. Looking to trade for Climb Rights or Stein Aluminum Climbers. These are in very good condition. They have a handful of climbs, never been sharpened or re-tipped.

    Climbing saw challenge, This isn't the most scientific and my editing skills aren't the best.

    Just picked up a used MS200T, I have wanted one for years but was unwilling to pay an excessive amount for a used saw. I got a fair deal @ $380.00. It felt powerful, but I wondered how it would stack up against my other saws. The rest of the saws were purchased new. Short video comparing them.

    Guys, I recently bought a SK752 and I would say that is by far my best investment to date. Anyone on the fence, but one!! My first machine purchase was a Gelh AL540, and now that machine hardly goes out. It really only gets used on large removals and crane jobs. The ditch witch with the vermeer...

    Liability clause on estimates

    I have been using a 40 ton crane for all my tree work. Sometimes you can help but hurt the driveway or lawn when you drive in even with mats. I make people aware that the crane is 80,000lbs. But all it takes in one person to put up a stink. I want to put a clause at the end of all my proposal so...

    Articulating loader 3" wheel spacer

    Love my Gehl Al540 wheel loader. My only complaint is that its very tippy, this is noticed especially on uneven ground. I had a shop machine some 3" spacers to help stabilize the machine. Upon testing around the house, they seem to have definitely helped the way the machine behaves. I will post...
