Those are great old beasties. Far too many have been kicked to the curb in my part of the world due to not meeting EPA regs when a house changes hands, per local law. You did good!

Are you knotting or splicing?

You’re extremely tempted to do snow removal in an area that practically doesn’t get snow problems…. I believe that illuminates the crux of the problem.

I've been doing excavation work on the side and hauling for other people but even the local tree and dirt companies are so slow nobody's looking for help firewoods going for as cheap as $120 for a pickup truck load dried, delivered and stacked so I'm not doing that, not even doing enough tree...

^What the hell is that post! Anyway new old stove She kicks some heat!

The tree doesn't really mind the house... it can ru it for years and not worry. The pruning is for the house / human. If the human wants it visually balanced for the human's sake, then sure small cuts. Less than 20-25% crown removal. Less is more, sometimes. A horseshoe-shaped callus is...

I was just watching a logger saying he’s doing other stuff because log prices are low. Have a backup income he says. I was just reading @chris_girard article about high lead and he said a lot of that came from sailing. More cross-industry skills and eqpt. I use off road recovery gear and...

I bit the bullet and bought a Monkey Beaver 2.0 last year, after 38 years of Weaver saddles. It has been good in every way a saddle can be. That said, it's the first rope bridge saddle I've ever owned. The bridge is showing some wear, and I'm contemplating a replacement. I have quite a bit of...

I'll check this thread later... suggested by the forum software. Where @chris_girard ???

We're all on the same page. I've got a low-use 5/8 and moderate/ light use 9/16 stable braid. I wonder how to combine/ piggyback those two as skylines, using 1/2" stable braid as a lowering/ haul- back line. I recall I have a brand new 9/16" atlas line, too. Definitely, guyed. It's a...

l’ve got a Skagit GT3 with around 1500’ of skyline and 1200’ of skid line I will make you a great deal on. It’ll fly a full size chipper and then some. Just need a few big guy back trees and a nice tail tree.

Used the bucket for 1&1/2 mature sycamore prunes today. The other half was climbing. A bit of elevating and a lot of end weight reduction. Also the estimator had me shaping a forty foot tall white pine. No bucket access. I was able to get it somewhat columned but could not do much with the tops...

:popcorn:

I do a 500’ zip line between trucks in the dunes. Engineer told me 1/2” cable.

I took it to mean burning the debris.

I took it to mean that Sean is playing with fire re getting a chipper on site via rigged up skyline

How steep of a run are you talking about? Guy the support trees. IMO I would think a simple high line and a haul back would do it. Slack the high line and use that to raise the chipper and the haul back as the descent line and retrieval line. Mini pulling it up hill if you have the run.
