    Battery ground saws

    Electric has the edge on torque. "Horsepower'' and chain speed is owned by the gassers. I have 2 ported saws with more to come. No battery saws at all in the arsenal. I'd like a top handled one but only for indoor use at the wood furnace. For those pesky pieces that are a bit to long....LOL.

    Monkey Beaver 2.0 - newb questions

    To add on about an earlier post, I too use an adjustable bridge. I prefer to put my gaffs on 1st. Then I open my bridge out fully, grab it and suspenders while putting saddle on over my head. Hang from suspenders, buckle everything and then adjust the bridge. With a bad hip, I dislike putting...

    Monkey Beaver 2.0 - newb questions

    This ^^^ The only time I use the rigging plates is when I'm using a long lanyard/secondary short climbing line for positioning. Otherwise, the side Ds feel....well, natural for me. No leg pads. Never tried them and read enough negative comments on them so, I didn't bother. Leg pad straps left...

    DMM Keanu Rigging Trolley - SOLD

    If you add a swivel, try one with ball bearings. I found regular swivels, under load, don't rotate freely. I had to reverse the twist by hand. To much tension on 5:1 block and tackle.....

    neighbor dies pulling vines

    neighbor dies pulling vines

    My bouncing days are far and few in-between. A few weeks ago I was playing ground duty on a crane day. The op is known to be ''rammy and jammy.'' Always in a hurry to no one's advantage. We had a top coming down and we were working alongside a lightly traveled backroad. There was a good sized...

    I have noticed that natural disasters are good in an odd way. They can humble and bring communities closer together. All but the smallest and isolated towns tend to rebuild better then what they had before. God bless all who have lost and may they grow stronger with each passing day.

    How about just a larger ''ring gear'' with smaller pin points?

    Best chipper

    I loves the Morbarks and Bandits. I would not discount Rayco or Dynamic. Shame the coneheads are out of production.

    Best chipper

    Leaky injectors. If the rest of the chipper is in good shape, consider a rental till all is sorted out.

    Clients say the darnest things…(or funny sayings on the job)

    It's happened twice in the local parts I was raised in. Both incidents were the owners of the chippers. One was blown into the river for fish food. I don't recall any other details. This is a real thing though. Both are serving life sentences.

    I hope the client got free mulch.
