    Avant/branch manager rotation troubleshooting

    It’s usually the fuse in the front when mine does that.

    Rigging with karabiners

    I do it on every job, put a half hitch in front on the critical/big stuff.

    Dammit! I’m usually better at spotting that.

    I’m lucky enough to have my workshop/storage on my property, so I can potter around my machinery at the weekend at my leisure. Stuff is regularly serviced and checked, just levels and greasing, teeth, blades and cutting tools get a visual most days.

    Damage Clauses for Driveways, Walkways, Lawns, etc.

    I never say anything. Don’t complicate stuff, keep it to a minimum, show that you’re keeping it to a minimum and get on with it.

    High standards vs lower standards for preventing damage and incidents | Business owner vs employees and subcontractors

    I’ve had one small insurance claim in the last 20 years, 2k for some glass in a porch. Wooden fences, the odd telephone line, a bit of a gutter down pipe. These things I’ll replace myself or pay a pro to do it. It’s treework, sometimes these things happen.

    Fair enough.

    Tree video drama

    If you price a job, and through no fault of the client’s, you did not manage to finish, I’d struggle to see how he/she should pay the extra. Some might for sure, but there’s no moral/legal obligation.

    I can’t see how that’s the client’s problem. If he finishes early and catches an earlier ferry will he give them money off? I can’t speak for @27RMT0N of course, just speculating.

    Everything in life is against the clock, including life itself of course.

    Time constraints are essential. Best work is done against the clock.

    Artemis II

    I usually get people (unprompted) explaining why they want the tree out, I listen for a bit, but if it gets boring or they’re labouring under the delusion I care, I tell them, you don’t need to justify it to me, you want it out, I’ll do it.

    Artemis II

    Posted this elsewhere. Around 60 years after man made his first powered flight, he flew to the moon, got out, drove a car (which is still there and and can be seen apparently) jumped about, played golf, got back in and flew back. An incredible quantum leap in technology. Now nearly 60 years...

    It’s nothing to do with an Echo Bearcat.

    Tree failed with no warning

    A lot of what gets climbed is dodgy, which is why it’s being climbed. Species is another factor in the decision making process. Neg rig off a rotten silver maple or cottonwood? No thanks! Oak or similar…possibly.

    True about tall conifers. We don’t get as many (or probably as tall) as you but it’s hard to get far enough away to get a decent rope angle.

    Think he means the plastic curtain in the hopper.

    Even if you cannot get the brash into the rollers, laying it on the hopper saves a hell of a lot of effort.
