As title says, I own a sk800 and we use it for everything. From dragging to feeding to lifting. With a block at the base and if needed a mid stem redirect I can lift anything I’m comfortable with as long as we have the runway. Theres a newer local tree biz going out of business that is...
Had another husqvarna battery give up the ghost and was shopping for a new one. Seems they have come out with a “ pro “ line of batteries. Looking at the 40-b220x. I run the normal 200 batteries in the top handle and pole saw. Don’t like the 300 too heavy, heavy enough as it is. Anyone used...
Moved away from the grundens bibs of death years ago. Been rocking some half zip grundens pants for a couple years worked pretty well and way less sweat suit. Want something like my kuiu yukons but don’t want to shred a $300 pair of pants in a season. Anyone have good recommendations on durable...
Selling my 2018 15xpc Cat Diesel 430 hrs. Purchased a new 18xp finally showing up next week! Listed on marketplace but figured I’d throw it up on here as well. If you live in the NW welcome to test drive any time.
Chipper was on an Fmi lot in Texas. I bought it brand new from FMI with full...
Not too far diverted from my last thread but trying to make a big purchase desicion. Neither of my dealers have the machine i want available to demo. I’ve run the 15 version of both but only in diesel. It can get either with same setups and essentially same price and terms, Gas on both. I know...
Looking at a new 15xp. Bandit dealer said they recently switched over from ford 5.7 to psi 6.0. on there gas engines. Seeing if anyone has feedback on the machine so far? Currently running diesel but thinking about adding or switching. Thanks
Bought off a fellow buzzer earlier in the year. Saw minimal use with him and myself and the crew put maybe 8 climbs on it. Just not for me. Asking $225.00 shipped or interesting trades. Ha
Anyone looking to part with a knee ascender for a reasonable price? Just need another one for the team. Figure I’d ask here before grabbing a new saka off the shelf.
Hey, I generally do all my quotes through a pdf template I’ve used for years. Even though I’ve been doing it for years and years I find it best to take a moment and write it up instead of shouting it out to the client on site. That said, I’d like to save some wasted computer hours in the...
Anyone looking to part with a unicender? Been interested in trying one for a while. My go to is a rope runner but thought it would be good for crew too since it’s so compatible with srt and drt.
Cervino Wood Chainsaw Boots size 11.5 worn 6-7 times in the rainy Oregon winter. Waited on back order for month and a half for these guys this January but unfortunately a little too narrow for my foot. I do 80% removals and the boots are amazing in spurs. The quick attach for knee a ascender...
Hey, i have a dodge 5500 with a 6x12 steel body on it. Bought the truck 2-1/2 years ago and bed was just put on. Whoever painted the box did a horrible job and I’ve got rust on all the seams and welds. I’m currently between vinyl wrapping it or painting it but either way have to get rust taken...
As title says, looking to get a few more sena smh 10s or compatible to add to the fleet. Missed a couple opportunities lately hoping someone else might be switching or upgrading. Thanks.
Hey all, I own a 2016 Bandit 200UC. It's been a great machine but unfortunately, the clutch went out at 1050 hours and she's in for repair. Coupled with parts and wait time from Bandit I've been out 2 weeks and still have 2 more to go. Which obviously is a serious kick in the A! With the way...
Hello all, just splurged on a ct quick step and spur mount for my geckos so I can stop having to strap my camp ascender under my spikes! First day one ascent and some tree work and the spring that holds the ascender against the rope is half popped out which pretty much F ‘s the whole deal...
As title says. Looking to make first mini purchase. Demoed a couple of new models but would love to not spend 25- 30k at the moment. If anyone in the NW or surrounding area is looking to sell there’s would be stoked to check it out. Thanks.
Hello all, I have an upcoming project that is in a quite difficult location. I’m looking at speed lining limbs to a hill crest point that is approximately 150ft from the tree in question. The tree being removed is roughly 110 to the canopy. At that point I plan to set up a drift or high line to...
Looking at potentially purchasing a 2200 lb portable winch. I’ve looked through the threads and can’t find a ton of work site opinions on them. I have seen the Reg Coates videos and he seems to speak highly of them, which says allot. I run a 2 -3 man show and looking for a way to decrease body...
