No drop zones, picking up every twig, and pathways too narrow for a arbor trolley
I was thinking about this earlier today. I have a couple year old AT. The replacement wheels are narrower (maybe modern arbor trolleys have a shorter round-stock axle/ longer square-tube axle) than old wheels/ rims. I had to add a spacer of PVC over the round-stock to keep the rim and tire at full width.
My original tire is getting kinds weak and will need to replace it some time (oh the work its done!). If I have a second, narrower rim replacement wheel, and some various spacers, I can narrow the wheel width for such a situation. Might need to add plywood to the basket to prevent tire/ material rubbing.
I can get a picture if needed, but the AT is stowed, ATM.
Western WA is beautiful. Some people really, really, really love their gardens. You're got a great work place there.

Thanks guys, It is beautiful... I was there today for a little more pruning, and a 20" grand fir removal.. Got to break in the GRCS and lower the whole thing (lots of taper)... For some reason it's actually pretty damn stressful.. I am working under the ex head of the Portland Japanese gardens who did all the installation. Day one I figure I climbed more than 350' just for a few limbs per tree. Tomorrow is thinning 3-4 doug firs, and two 40-50' climbs for just a few limbs (one tree is one limb). Wishing for better weather.. Mix of sprinkles, overcast, and just enough sun peeking through to blind you with the bigshot.

By paths being too narrow for a arbor trolley I mean the bottle necks are 0nly 18" wide. Some of the flowering ground cover has grown into the pathways. The rhodies, small Japanese maples, and azaleas bend just enough to get the brush through.

What, no side-wheelie?
I get that there is just no room.
I've only explored this in my head, and don't know if the wheels are actually reversible. Probably find out tomorrow. I'll measure if I find out it works. Might be nice for a job here or there.

I'm still looking for that job where I can be like a residential DJ, come out once or twice a month to a kick ass garden, and book end my month with a good chunk of change.

Not our ladder BTW ! Lol
Quick and easy one ! Going through the deck was fun, customer was replacing the top boards so I got to cut a few stringers out for the trunk to go up through. Fun one. Wasn't my job, I was there to help the company out.

Here are a few more today, I had more of a drop zone. Zipped simi balanced good sized long cedar limbs brushing the tops of the maples planted below. Many other methods would have been better, but it was only 6-8 limbs. Many of the trees I climbed were just for a few limbs here or there. 10 Trees pruned (crown raised by just a whorl or two) and one grand fir removal in 2.3 days, I am whooped as this had been more rope climbing than I've done in a long time.
Masa is in the back ground in red, and his helper is doing some work on a white pine. Masa installed and designed the garden in 2003, which is the largest I believe he has done for himself. The garden was designed and installed, before the house was built as this was the only way to get access to the site. He travels 4-5 hours twice a year to prune. He is booked until late September, how is that for a back log! Nothing like working above a $2400 japanese black pine that has doubled in size since it was planted, It's been pruned to every last detail, every needle is in place (literally), they are so fragile looking.

That machine is getting a total makeover, new belly band, all new bearings, new Cat 174hp tier 3 engine, paint and decals. It should be just like a brand new one when it's done!
