    What are you running for a mulcher set up?

    Big orange currently has me running a takeuchi tl12 with a FAE head and a loftness gool flow mounted on the top. It is a pretty good set up but they are talking about buying a new machine to run. Possibly looking at the tl12v2. I was just curious what others have ran and how they liked it. It's...

    New Harness?

    It reminds me of the empire from treestuff. Which is essentially a light ergo. I had an empire for a couple of years and loved it in combination with an h harness if I was gonna be a full day take down. Im rocking the onyx now and love it.

    Tongue and groove cut

    It is interesting. I have performed it on small trees for directional falling but never expecting it to hold itself up off of something. I don't believe or trust to work on any big trees. I would definitely go with high stumping if I had any doubt.

    Sterling scion reviews?

    Scion is pretty durable. It is a nice firm line and should hold up fine to any gear.

    Contract climber diaries

    Most climbers around here get 25-40$ an hour just showing up with their own climbing gear. If anyone shows up to help me we just agree on a price right off the bat and that is what they get paid a day. I base it on 8 hours and provide lunch, gloves, all rigging gear, saws, and pay cash in hand...

    New Saw and Tremotion Bridge

    IF you are looking for a reliable saw to pull a 24" I'd recommend the 372xp from husky or 461 from stihl. Great saws in that range. I have a 372 and 576 ( non auto tune) They are both great.

    Little tricks

    Here in Iowa I end up doing a lot of silver maples and elms for some reason. A lot of the time I tip tie so they are butt heavy to lower them down or suck them back to rigging point. I have just found it more time efficient for me to use the throw ball. If I said I never take a pole into the...
