    Tracked K-Boom?

    Does anyone have tree care experience with tracked K-Booms? A friend of mine is looking into buying one and I'm trying to find some benefits. I really can't see how they would be economical in a residential company. Tell me I'm wrong. I'd love some feedback.

    Company wide communication system

    Our company is slowly approaching the 100 employee mark. We have a need for a system to send company wide alerts out quickly, without the hassle of everyone needing an app, email, or some gigantic group text. Is anyone familiar with a system like this? Any advice would be appreciated.

    I've never been a fan of new standards but.......

    Last week our company had a 1st, and as you all know that is tough to do in this industry. A ground tech accidentally cut the basal anchor of a climber last week. The story goes.... My climber was in one tree with his basal anchor tied to an adjacent tree to keep it clear of falling brush...

    Who wants it?

    I have about 60' of 5/8th Notch Kraken. (Atlantic Braids). Will anyone splice me up a few single eye slings? Obviously, this is a paying job. The supplier will not splice anything after it leaves the warehouse.

    Woodlandpro Chains

    My company strictly uses Stihl products. However since pricing Bailey's woodlandpro chains, I've found I can save a boat load of cash. Has anyone used these chains extensively? Any comments or reviews would be a huge help.

    A halfhitch will do!

    So the other day I was taking down a 70-80 ft poplar tree next to a house with the use of a 28 ton crane. I was on the 2nd or third piece. We had the boom at max length and it was just long enough to reach the pick, however the ball was only about 2 ft from where I had to attach the sling. I...

    Tree Lighting

    Friends of mine are getting married outside this fall and have asked me to research lights to be hung in trees, not Christmas lights, but lantern style. Just curious if anybody has done something like this, at this capacity, and what type of lights they used, and where they found them.

    prussik re-direct

    When climbing srt I usually use a munter hitch on a William biner with a short sling, attached to the secondary tip, for a re-direct. The problem I have with this is I usually have to take the load off my climbing line in order to put the munter in place. Today I tried a prussik instead. I...

    HH as a midline anchor

    Has there been any talk about using the HH as an anchor for a double line system? Personally I would feel fine about using it for such work....But I'm asking along the competition guidelines.
