    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Avant Thread!

    I had it on my Multione a few years back, I was on full reach up high with a fixed grab angled up to pull a branch out of some bamboo. A fixed grab (150 odd kilos off solid metal) detached itself and rolled down the arm towards me in the cab, only the hydraulic hoses stopped it from squishing...

    How do you turn down work?

    I tell them I don’t want to do the job, or I just don’t put a quote in.

    What's on your mind? TCI Magazine wants to know

    I use a Prussik every day, it ain’t how quick you get there, it’s the decisions you make when you’re there that determine if a job goes quickly or not.

    True.

    Yes, probably right, with NC rigging and stubs there’s nothing to sell.

    Natural crotch rigging and climber lowering branches using stubs. Let’s not pretend it doesn’t happen, why not discuss techniques?

    Do I have a problem?

    Everyone has their thing, like Neil I have no yen for mechanicals, I’m happy with a prussik. Finding the perfect trim saw is my never ending quest. 2 x 2511s 1 x 201 2 x Husky battery saws 1 x Husky 540 petrol.

    trees and spirits and stuff

    It was performative, in my opinion, ‘look at me, I really care about nature‘n’shit, I’m sooo spiritual‘

    trees and spirits and stuff

    I had a client (an American couple) who had a chateau type property. They hired me to take out 2 trees, a 40 year old Leylandii and something else smaller, days work. So we’re there at 9am, parked in front of the leylandii filling the saws up, and the husband comes out, and with an earnest face...

    trees and spirits and stuff

    Karma doesn’t exist, it’s a concept like the tooth fairy. I have no idea why some people just accept it as an immutable law of existence.

    Yes, nice subtle touch.

    Does anyone advertise on Facebook?

    In a similar situation. I always steered clear of FB cos the quality of enquiry is often poor, but needs must lately. Got a mate who doesn’t advertise on FB per se, but just puts up a few pictures of a job, a bit of an explanation, then a short line ‘if you need a quote etc…’ Not really whoring...

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    Partly. I had a guy from the village to help me as a third man on a casual basis when I was in the UK over 20 years ago. We had quite a few run ins, but he was no thief, and if he was ‘there’ he did ok. In the end (long after I left) he straightened himself out to an extent, does ROW line...

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    I have found heroin addicts make good occasional workers, they’re pretty much always available, keen as mustard for a couple of days, and you usually know where to find them. Just don’t pay them in the evening if they’re due to work the next day.

    New device from ISC

    Good review. “Less optimal second hole” is a moot point:) I read somewhere it doesn’t self tend if you use it. I don’t like self tending, part of the reason I don’t use a mechanical.
