    Chipper winch line protection

    I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a creative solution to protecting the first few feet of the chipper winch line. I work for a municipality so we drag a lot of brush/logs across pavement and sidewalks. This results in the line getting frayed relatively quickly and failing. Not a big deal...

    digital pre-job brief

    Trying to formalize and record our pre-job briefs. As of now, I came up with a form that I then laminated so it can be reused. However that makes recording it difficult, short of taking a picture of it. I'd like to avoid a paper form due to clutter/lost paperwork. If possible I'd like to find an...

    New eye splice on existing rope

    So I've got a hank of Yale Aztec that I've been climbing on for about a year. I was always told to not get an eye splice on both ends due to milking. I'd really like to switch ends, which I believe is recommended by ANSI anyways? So my question is, can I send the hank back to treestuff and have...

    Making your own chains

    What is everyone's opinion on the feasibility and affordability of making your own chains? Is it worthwhile or just easier to buy pre-made chains. Working for a municipality the driving factor is cost. A majority of our saws have the same gauge and pitch so we could in theory buy one reel of the...

    Woah

    https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=694478264068839&id=614558865394113 I'll admit this little video definitely made me raise my eyebrows. Some interesting ideas. I still think there's a future for RC controlled laser armed monkeys

    Micro-pulley for rope wrench

    I'm sure I could use the search function on this site to find my answer, but it kinda blows to be honest. So, I'm about to drop the cash for a rope wrench and I see there's an option for a single or double fix tether. What's everybody's preference? Single hole pinto pulley or a 3-hole pulley...

    Rock exotica Transporter

    After using a caritool for several years, I'd like to upgrade. Getting tired of having to use two hands to remove/replace my saw, especially in precarious positions. The transporter seems to be a pretty popular tool. Watched a few videos of it and I'm still having a hard time envisioning how...

    Replacement bridge cordage

    just as the title states, what's everyone using? Is something like this overkill? https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=259&item=3472#detail Abrasion resistance, break strength and energy absorption all sound pretty sexy to me.

    Lanyard twist

    I use a Trango cinch for lanyard adjustment. Originally it was used with an Oceans 10mm lanyard. Couple months ago I replaced it with Aztec 11.7 mm. Not sure if it's the diameter difference or what but behind the cinch, the lanyard gets really twisted. I just have the tail of the lanyard (behind...

    Cougar saddle and Pfanner gladiator pants

    Got a couple used items here, they might look haggard but I'm a function over fashion kind of guy and they both have plenty of use left. The saddle needs a new bridge and leg straps. Had a fall at work this summer and the EMTs in their infinite wisdom decided to cut the saddle off of me...

    Climbing topped trees

    I'm sure a lot of us have been there. Climbing a previously topped tree because, guess what, the resulting epicormic shoots have made their way back into the view. Such was the case I found myself in last Friday. Customer has multiple trees in his yard that have been topped (nit by me or my...

    Landing pieces flat

    Any of you fine gentlemen have tips and/or tricks for landing pieces flat? The scenario being when you're chunking down a spar and you're attempting to avoid denting the hell out of the drop zone. I'm aware there's a lot of variables involved, how tall the piece is, how high up it is, how much...

    ISA Cert exam study guide

    Does anyone have the latest copy of the study guide for the certification exam? They're like $125 for a non-member via the website which is pretty crazy in my opinion. Anyone willing to sell me theirs?

    Cadillac pad installation question

    Just got the Buckingham Steel Climbers with Cadillac Pads from treestuff. I've got a question and it's probably a dumb one but here goes. How do I go about assembling these bad boys. I see how the sleeve attaches to the leg iron but how do you attach the sleeve/leg iron to the pad? Is the top...

    Winch line on Vermeer BC1500

    My boss purchased a used BC1500 this previous summer. It's an awesome chipper and a much improved upgrade. We use the winch line a lot and it's really boosted efficiency. The thing is, it can be a real pain in the arse to unspool. It's not impossible to pull the line out by yourself, but it's...

    new saddle

    So I want to upgrade my saddle from fixed D-ring to either a floating D or rope bridge. I made the mistake of buying a fixed D for my first saddle and after climbing on it for a year I found myself several times in situations wishing I could turn my hips. After searching several sites...
