    Arborjet Pump

    As per title. Almost new condition, can’t remember the last time we used it. We switched to a different system. Apparently these are $85 new these days. $50 lower 48. I’ll cover shipping. PayPal preferred.

    Scan Tool for Freightliner

    So our bucket truck (2020 Freightliner M2 106 with the standard Cummins) just threw its first code. Just a yellow engine symbol, not the yellow “check” symbol. Truck still operates perfectly but I know something is out of parameter and these things just tend to get worse. Thought I’d hook up my...

    ISO SAKA

    Would love to pick up a SAKA, preferably folding. I’ve heard good things about the HAAS too, but if I had a choice…. Made my own years ago with a Croll and some bungee off Amazon but I can’t find it. Oh well.

    Need Advice on a Powerscender

    So my Powerscender has lost what look like a couple of rivets. Probably happened by rough handling, as these spurs were fine last week and broken now. My question is, can I fix the Powerscender? I have almost no experience with rivets and I’m not even sure if the holes are accessible for the...

    Video: Climber Tops Tree, Nearby Tree Hits Him

    Looks like he did everything right, except remain hyper- vigilant after the cut. This one most likely would have gotten me too. Anything we can learn from is worth posting. Watch till the end, there are 2 camera angles. Apologies if a repost:

    Free Kask Mirrored Visor- You Pay Shipping

    Before you get too excited, it's beat to hell. Scratched and scuffed. I wore it for at least 2 years, maybe more. Bright side, you’ll look like a chopper pilot who’s seen significant combat in this thing. Story- last week I was dealing with a fairly large hickory that had broken about...

    Helly Hansen Work Pants, Brand New, Never Worn

    Ordered these last year, tried them on once, realized they were too small. Set them aside, forgot about them and never returned them. So now they're here. Very high quality, as Helly Hansen is known for. Tags still on. Cordura thighs and Cordura reinforced knees on the interior, which makes...

    Video: Worker hit by falling trunk

    This video could be added to Moss’s thread about the importance of communication in tree work, but I didn’t want to hijack his thread. Vid is only about 3 seconds, but it’s looped. Hard hat probably saved his life. Unbelievable lack of awareness by both parties.

    Sherrill's Version of the Arbor Trolley

    They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Got an email ad from Sherrill this morning, as did most of you probably. Thought I'd seek opinions: First, I'm surprised it took so long. This (Reg's) design is clearly superior to their old old dolly. I guess I can see a use for the...

    Having a De-Vine day!

    For anyone who thinks they might be having a shit day....... I present to you a red oak, about 70', literally overwhelmed by wisteria vine. Picture is after 1.5 hours starting at the top. Fun fact: this stuff appears to have roughly the same tensile rating as EHS cable, even when dead. And...

    Homeowner and Ladder....

    Took this as I drove to a job today. Couldn't resist. Notice the mangled ladder and the nice peel. Looked like it just happened- everything was left laying out as if he just limped inside to call for help I'm past the point of sympathy.

    Join the K-boom Club for Cheap, Boys!

    Check this out. I took a few screenshots of a craigslist ad, since those links go bad quick. For the price it might be worth it just for fun! (Seriously, if it all works, that is a great deal for someone) Kindly pay no attention to the tabs for Jo-Ann Fabrics and others... wife's iPad.

    Best Friends EVER Throw Ultimate Bachelor Party

    One of the coolest, most epic and strangely heartwarming videos I've seen in quite sometime. Worth a watch.

    What is this thing?

    Found this buried in the office today. What the heck is it? It was my grandfather's. I know this because my dad had no clue what it was either. Cast iron. Made by Sears. The four little wheels are toothed and spin independently. Don't know if it's a tool related to tree work or not...

    Intl. 4300 Dt466 Overheating

    Anyone else have this issue? 2007 model. It only overheats on the highway- even empty with no chipper. We have installed the factory radiator screen to block debris, and even shelled out to the dealer to "fix" the fan clutch, which did nothing. The fan just refuses to engage. Sometimes if...

    Advice on wood burning fireplace insert?

    After that brutal winter I'm looking to buy a fireplace insert. I've read good things about Lopi stoves and the Buck model 91 looks great too. Was thinking it'd be nice if it protruded a little from the fireplace so as to give radiant heat and a small cooking surface in power outages. Any wise...

    Why Don't Giant Tree Co's Use Cranes?

    Just an observation: Why don't we see more crane use by the biggest tree services out there? Big Green and Big Orange both have large residential divisions, which means they do removals, but I've never seen a picture or discussion of them using a crane. Edit: I do recall a video by Bonner...

    Homeowner Hit on Head by Treetop

    Good vid to promote hardhat use. No notch, no safety harness, rope too low, and probably the first time I've ever seen a homeowner saw that might have been too SHARP. No idea why they ran that rope off the loader. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=823_1391009014

    Two Tree Cutting Fails: One is Hard to Believe

    Gentlemen (and ladies!), I reluctantly present to you two of the most stupendously stupid men alive. Both are lucky to still be among us. One of these videos might take the cake for the riskiest, stupidest, hardest to believe methods of tree cutting I have ever seen. That's saying something...
