I bought a Bend Right ring a few weeks back and am getting ready to splice up a sling for it. I have made/used loopies, whoopies and regular eye slings, but have never made/used an Ultra sling. For those of you that have experience with both, which do you prefer…and why? The Ultra has a certain...

I’d like to wish a Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers at the Treehouse! I’m thankful to still have my father. He turned 80 back in April. Finest man I’ve ever known. Brings to mind a song I used to listen to as a kid. Had it on a record back in those days...

Several years ago, my wife got interested in photography so I bought her a Canon 1D Mark III. A couple of years later, she wanted a newer model so I bought her a 5D. She hasn’t used the 1D in quite a while so we may as well part with it. Body, strap, charger, two or three batteries (not sure if...

Any hams on here? I just bought a couple of handheld units to dabble in it. There’s a lot to it, apparently.

Any Cummins experts on here? My 2015 Ram 3500 cranked fine this morning but has no power. Turbo isn’t kicking in. Don’t know if it’s vacuum or electric or what. 6.7 Cummins. Anyone have any experience with this?

My granddaughter turns two on Monday. She loves Cookie Monster on Sesame Street. And her mom, my middle daughter, loves to bake cakes. So.....

I bought the Boxer to use for tree work, but it has proven useful for other things as well.....

While Treestuff is my go-to store for "tree stuff", I do buy from WesSpur from time to time, and still buy chains from Bailey's. I have tried repeatedly to log on to their website today, to no avail. Does anyone know if they're down, closed, whatever?

I know it's been hashed a thousand times, (if not more), but what's CURRENTLY our favorite throw bag, both for throwing and APTA use? I have used my APTA three times now, with great success each time, just don't want to be dependent on it. I pack my "unbreakable" bag (10-oz) from Wesspur in and...

After putting the 660 in service the other day, I've about decided to sell/trade all 4 of my Huskys and put them toward a new Stihl. I won't get enough to cover a 661, but thought I might approach a size or two down. I have never run a 441 or 461, but was wanting some feedback. Anyone here use...

Not sure if this is where this belongs, but I'll stick it here. I was called last week to submit a bid at a nearby housing authority. I finally got ahold of them Friday, as I had been getting home near dark, and they faithfully run out of the office at 4:00 every afternoon. They want the bid in...

I'm slow to change....still climb on a tautline regularly....but now and again I like to dabble in the new. Being of limited knowledge, I'm pondering the HAAS or the SAKA. What's the difference in the two? They appear to be simply different brand offerings of the same thing?

So...I just had a check bounce....third one since Thanksgiving. I'm wondering what "normal" protocol is for handling this. I have never had this problem in 29 years, until now. One guy wrote me a check on the Monday , the week before Thanksgiving, asking me to hold it until Wednesday. I didn't...

Saw this on a construction forum I'm on..... http://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2708-22?utm_source=ElectrianTalk_300x250&utm_medium=BannerAd&utm_campaign=HoleHawg I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it. Seems it would be VERY handy for running a GRCS without...

Has anyone had any experience with the XL porty? I just saw it in Tree Services magazine and googles it. WesSpur is the only outfit I found that had it. 60,000# tensile strength...6,000# working load rating....I'd hate to rope 6,000 pounds on a porty, regardless of size! I break out the bollard...

So I started a new "plan" in 2014, putting $20 EVERY day I worked into an envelope. I started it a few weeks into the year, adding a little in "estimation" of what I'd already worked. My goal was to work 200 days, thereby having $4000 in savings. I finished out right on the money, doing a little...

It's likely been discussed before, but I couldn't find it. My F250 came with a brake controller already installed. (No brand on it). One wire was cut on it...leading me to believe the previous owner had encountered a problem with it. Anywho, I hooked it up the other day in hopes it would work...

I've done it several times, but it's been YEARS since I did....what's the best/appropriate way to change a bar tip? Seems I drove the rivets out with a punch once, and I have drilled them out. Is either "acceptable"? I bought a Granberg mill and accidentally clamped the nose piece too close to...

I'm toying with the idea of selling my two Ramrod minis. I don't use them much since getting the Gehl, and they need to be used. Both are 900Ts. One has a 23HP Kohler Command Pro, the other a B&S Vanguard 18HP. The 18 was brand new when I bought it 2 years ago, and has approximately 40 hours on...

Not sure where to put this...so I'll try here. I've been contemplating trying a Carhartt vest for climbing. I start out in a sweatshirt over a T-shirt, then quickly get hot in the tree, sail the sweat out to the ground, then start getting cold again. Seems impossible to keep the body temp...
