Husqvarna X-COM
I wear Sena while riding the ball, even though hand signals are known. It's easier to have the communication. Especially when the operator can't see the climber/pick. Sometimes I'm just flying straps while a second climber is making cuts. At this point I turn off coms when I'm near the chipper...- 96coal449

Bulldog OAR, Rope Runner & More
I may be keen on the OG RR. Friend of mine been interested in trying one out. I still have an OG NIB. I miss ole Gu. H steered away from me after awhile and seemed to avoid interaction.

Broken man, extreme burnout
Once you learn a trade you once loved, it's hard to walk away. There's good coin to be had in the arborist world. I've decided some time ago, I'm sticking with it. My 2nd trade doesn't float my boat anymore. It barely ever did. There was just really good money in roofing but not worth the...- 96coal449

Silky hand saw
How much more inconvenient is it to post a real pic of what you're selling? You're fresh to the site with generic images. Do you see how this looks to us? Good luck. -

The Akimbo 2
That's the card holder for me....MRS. Riding the ball is the norm for me now. Of key interest to me, is the unexpected release when slapped by a branch. I don't like how the ZZ reacts....good thing it's not a frequent event.- 96coal449

Back in treestuff's day, I bought a fawk ton of gear from them. And I mean a TON. I had an order through Sherrill for a speed line kit.

Burning out
I did the ''run a crew'' thing as an owner operator. Same results but with a different trade. This was 30yrs ago. I did roofing solely at the time. 4-5 man crew plus myself. I was banging out sub contracted new construction, plus a few of my own reroof jobs in between. On weekends, I was...- 96coal449

Best practices for using a lift near exposed roots or patios
The river birch..... If I remember correctly, you'd be renting a lift? For that tree, I'd climb it over a rental. Unless another job was prime for a rental. 2 jobs or more for one rental deal. With climbing, Set a 3/4'' line in a suitable crotch of the spar that is to stay. Pull it down, tie on...- 96coal449
