canadian arborist supplies

[Tree-Taylor]

Does anyone know of a decent arborist supplier in the great frozen north, or to be more specific I'm looking to ship to Ottawa. Sick of vermeer/sherrill, looking for an alternative. Would rather support a Canadian outfit.

Hard to beat his prices BUT the shipping might be wild!

Check your local vermeer dealer.

theres Pacific Arborist supplies, they have said they were going to be getting ther 'new' website up soon, but they told to me two months ago,
'ready in a week or so'
and its still not ready so ?
They do have a extensive catalog and are friendly and helpful, heres a link....

same as the other site no prices listed so you have to let them know what you want and they let you know how much they charge that day. Use an email Id suggest.
I think the Canadians are doing this, not listing the prices online, or even in the catalogs, to deal with the changing dollar and shipping rates constantly shifting, so it makes it hard for them to set prices in stone.
I know the saw shop I deal with had Peztl AMD 'biners that went from 20.36 too 25.00 and several prices in between. When I asked as to why that is the answer I was given regarding the dollar and what not. Its like this with all the gear they sell, ropes everything, you have to hunt through em to find the cheapest ones.

Stay safe gang.

I know you're on the mainland Grais, but Robinson's in Vic is my secret spot for am'd ball locks. $14.99.

The Canadian arborist retailer networker is pretty rough, and as much as I want to support them 100% so things improve I am really over getting rooked and settling for poor selection.

Sooo, for the big ticket or new items, I order NAFTA approved American made product from Wesspur and Sherrill and have them shipped USPS (brokerage free). For silky blades, webbed slings, shot pouches and that sorta high turnover product, a trip to the local arborist shop is justified.

The answer is in the title of your post. "Canadian Arborist Supplies". He is based in Calgary, has a web site, and has treated me good.

Sheppards told me he would be very competitive with prices. I think you would have to be very specific on what you wanted as they deal mainly linemen gear but they are pretty eager get what you need.
I've ordered some stuff from Safety Landry http://www.securitelandry.com/safety_landry.html and they've been good to deal with.

Kirkat Shepherd gave me a price on an Ergovation saddle the other day. $ 689.00 compared to Sherrill at $813.00. They have a great rapport with Buckingham. great guy to deal with.

They usually have a booth at the Ontario TCC with a good selection of gear and great prices. Beat the comp on a Petzl Best helmet buy about $20.
