The competition

[jdhoward]

Pretty sweet seeing a couple guys with 100 ladders tied to trees doing tree work. The van pulling the dump trailer doesn't bother me as much as the ladders or 9 foot peels under their cuts.

C'mon man! You post something like this with no pictures or video??! Shame on you for baiting us this way. Go back tomorrow, they will probably still be working at it.

Had a pic of TruGreen spraying in the rain but must have deleted it. Is the competition pics of bad work?

 

[jdhoward]

I'll try and get a pic. I had one of some ladders in a cottonwood.

Hey, van and dump trailer go out with me nearly every job. I love the setup!

Dude, that's bad ass! Look at the use of the lanyard. Absolute brilliance. Think of the skill it takes to cut firewood chunks and drop them into a perfect stack. I'm-a try that tomorrow.

 

[96coal449]

Stacked them blocks for beer money too!

This is the third time I've seen this. Surprisingly none of the houses were smashed. At least visibly. They're probably roofers too though.

I'm gonna sell all my gear and climb like this. Anyone interested 150' poison ivy, treemotion, spider jack, 200' km3, rope wrench, a bazillion eye to eyes etc. mm I'm going to cut the rope up so o have something to tie my ladders off.

Nah thanks .... saving up to get me a new ladder .... and ratchet straps ....

At least the ladder was double tied in. Gives them some thing to stand on when OSHA shows up to do a fatality report.

Shit! Ratchet straps would be way faster! Now I can sell my ropes. Funny thing. I did a big cottonwood lead that broke over a garage. The guy that hired me was a tower climber who "did tree work on the side". My buddy, his cousin, and I asked how he climbed the tree. He told us "I use landscaping spikes." Lol!

Aw shit! I found the pics of the cottonwood, not the one I did. The big one I seen ladders in for a month.

Just switch out the magnetic signs.

He told us "I use landscaping spikes."

When he's only pruning and the client wants to know what they're for, what does he say?
"It's a Frankenstein thing,'' says the mad arborist.

Wow, that tear is really impressive. I don't think I could do that good if I tried. The tree on our property that got struck by lighting doesn't even look that professional.

Is that ladder from the garage roof to the tree? Man the guys out by you sure do have some nice ladders!
