Those fenders will hold up better to chunks hitting them than the standard fenders. That extra "flange" between the tires adds quite a bit of rigidity. The fenders on my older trailer look awful. They've been bent down onto the tires and back up too many times to count. My newer trailer has a...

What's fun is climbing the pole and opening one of those phone company "boots" and unhooking a phone line. Gotta remember which posts to reconnect to... And cutting down hot service lines...that definitely gets you some looks!:/: (I'm with you, Chris. When they don't show, I'm not waiting all...

I live on a dirt road (that's DIRT, not gravel, as the dirt is more prevalent!), so I've never been a stickler for washing mine. I drive slow after a rain to keep the mud slinging down, but a coat of dust in inevitable. What gets under my hide is people leaning on my truck, and it doesn't even...

Would have, but sort of an old acquaintance. Did the job for $300...gave my buddy a hunnert of it for bringing his skidder over to pull it. Being wet/slick was the only complication.

Everything on the tree was basically over a shed...hardly anything at all on back side. It was growing at the top of an embankment to boot. Simplest way to cut it was set line, pull and cut. Had it not been wet in the swampy area down the hill, it wouldn't have been too bad.

I envy the Amsteel in a way, Willie. I use a cable my dad has when I need a really strong pull. 1/2" x ~100'...heavy as all get out. I used it once in a heavily leaning water oak. Climbed up, had a buddy of mine tie it on so I could pull it up and hook it, then hooked it to his John Deere 440...

That too, Willie. I just wonder why he didn't include Hussky, Powlan, McCullough, Pieneer, or any other misspelled or otherwise chainsaw in the title. Shucks, he coulda added Cresent rench whilst he was titling...:lol:

He's referring to the interesting title of the device on eBay....STAINLESS ARBORIST TREE LOWERING DEVICE STHIL CHAINSAW 2" STRAPS MILWAUKEE BAG. It is rather confusing, as there does not appear to be a Stihl included in the auction. My guess is he included it in the title to expose it to more...

Looks pretty good, but seems complicated. I'm hoping to have a little more free time next week, so I might actually make some progress.

I've got just enough for both, Nick. ;)

I'm in the process of building something very similar, but it won't be stainless. I see several things I don't like about his design. And the price is about 4 times what it's worth...all but the shipping.:D

Mine went for three rides this morning......so awesome to zip 50+' up a tree and not even break a sweat!:O

It's quicker to drill a 2" hole in the middle and sweep it through.....:lol: Good idea actually. I haven't used mine in so long there were seedlings growing in it last summer.:/:

Did you ride to the big E to gas 'er up? Or didya go fer chitlings and turnip greens?:lol:

Now for those distant jobs, you just drive the Civic in and piggyback....You could load the Civic, the mini, and the small stump grinder......:lol:

He pulled that one the other day whilst I was cutting on the big limb that was on the farmhouse. I told him to be careful and not bump his head on anything. :lol:

That's what I call FAST SHIPPING!!!
