GRCS

That's interesting Thomas, you can get most of it down in one of those toolboxes. I use those to carry a lot of my everyday or frequently used gear too. One for basic repair tools, clean saw filters, and small items. Another one to carry two Husky top handle battery saws with charger and a couple of extra batts.

Thanks for putting up the pictures.
 
I currently take the Kombi unit power head with blower attatched. Power head is bagged in a snug fitting foam cooler to protect the plastic (first extendable power polesaw went 15 years that way in good condition.) I have a separate tube bag over blower attatchment, sythe and hedger in seperate bags. And then a different bag for string trimmer and blade trimmer and parts.

Would love to see what you have.
 
Used my GRCS for the first time today. Had an oak I needed to dismantle and lay down softly and then a small pine that was leaning way over the shed roof. The oak was run of the mill but the pine was interesting. Nothing tall enough around to lift the whole tree and no room to lower it where it was over the roof. So I got the best angle I could and tried something new to me at least. Give me your thoughts on this approach that I used.

Set a ring-n-ring on my rigging tree as high as the tree would take without failing. Set a rigging line and a tag line in the leaner. Made my notch and back cut and winched it until I heard the first fibers breaking. I then made the opened backcut into a notch and cut hinge sides away from the a little at a time as I lowered it and pulled on the tag line. Basically I was able to twist the fibers as I lowered it until it cleared the roof and could be lowered to the ground. Then I just cut the final hinge fibers so the butt would drop to the ground. Obviously I tried this knowing it was a younger healthy tree so I felt like the fibers could be manipulated this way.

The Stein trolley and chipper worked great too, lol.

I've never seen a wrong way that works.
