    Question on life support carabiners with auto locking bypass feature

    The way they function is you can do a "soft open" without it autolocking by not opening the gate all of the way. Once you open the gate fully and release it, the gate locks. I assume this would be useful if you were attaching multiple items individually onto the carabiner ‍. I bought one used...

    Pics Load Improperly

    I screenshot any pics I want to upload, then upload the screenshots. Correct orientation each time. It's something about changing the file size. You can crop the image too

    Today....

    Day 2 is done. I didn't get a lot of pics today, I was driving loads in the grapple truck quite a bit. The top of this tree was 6-50 yard grapple truck loads. 3 loads of just brush and 3 loads of firewood logs. The log in the Bobcat's grapple shows the diameter of some of these limbs.

    Today....

    He didn't give me a reason, but I know it's not the lawn over here as it's a rental he owns. It is full of wounds like in the one Pic and deadwood. I've been here a few times over the years removing deadwood and broken limbs.

    She's a biggun. I forgot to mention, 21 cables under the canopy including a high voltage and transformer I had insulated for the job.

    Knee ascender attachment

    I run my knee ascender on my left leg, bungee goes through the left lower dee and clipped to the right lower dee. This gives the bungee more room to travel than straight to the harness.

    Teupen 69A boom angle sensor

    I thought the same on them sticking, which is why I started with cleaning and lubrication. The puzzling part is that they made contact on the rollers and followed the cam correctly, they just couldn't extend that last little bit (due to not going far enough into that recessed section) to...

    Teupen 69A boom angle sensor

    This is my buddies lift. He has had a problem for a while where the lower boom would intermittently not slide out, and recently got to where it basically never worked. I looked it over and determined that since the lower boom must be fully raised before the boom would slide out, that there...

    Big tree, no space

    There's wasn't any mention to me of the sidewalk being replaced, just observing that the sidewalk and roots are fighting for space. I'll look into the growth inhibitor, I've read very little on them and have never used any. I've not seen any part of the city use pavers for sidewalks...

    Big tree, no space

    Not the biggest Tulip Poplar around here by far, but a decent sized one with no room for the roots. Road on one side, sidewalk on the other and a brick ground scape on a 3rd side. You can see in the pics how the bricks are being impacted by the roots trying to grow, there are roots growing...

    Log splitter weld job

    I have found a unicorn for welding and machine work. The only issue is he's about 40 mins away out in the sticks, but half the time he drives to me and checks out my projects at my place while he's in town. He retired from running his own machine shop and just works on the side now, and...

    Tree video drama

    I saw that clip pop up on fb but I skipped past it. The quality of work and the amount of new people who watch that channel for "education" bothers me to the point where I won't watch any of his content to avoid adding to his views. As said above, I do think he does some of this stuff for...

    Equipment Hauler

    My mini was 2200lbs on an old f350. I'd be pretty hesitant to do it with my current mini. A bigger truck it'd probably be fine. With that angle of a ramp, a wheeled machine is steadier on the breakover than a tracked machine.

    Equipment Hauler

    An equipment trailer or dump trailer? If it's an equipment trailer you can ramp from the trailer to the truck bed, allowing for smaller ramps. This would require that the trailer be unloaded at every job. Depending on what is being towed, it may need unloaded for use at most jobs anyways...

    Postcard mailers with photos, "creepy?"

    If your still trying to get work in that area. Park your chip truck there in evenings or weekends and do paperwork. Especially if the truck is lettered. This allows them to come up to you if they are looking to get some work done.

    How do you handle diesel fuel for your equipment?

    I dont tend to smell like diesel fuel, however I pretty consistently smell like 2 stroke gas.

    A spray bottle that lasts?

    It sounds like you've already got a solution, but I learned a trick that you can take the top off of these cans and push air back in them with an air blow gun. Set it over the stem and pull the trigger for about 10 seconds and it is repressurized.

    ISO spur mounted foot ascender

    I run steel Kleins and I use a powerscender. I don't believe it's made anymore, but maybe someone has one.
