    RMS Hold Fast Rigging Winch

    It would be significantly less to fiddle with than a 5:1. Plus I think it's about a 15:1 or 20:1 ratio so you can get a lot more pull with it. I think they mentioned the Lewmar uses the same handle as the Harken so you can probably use the drill adapter from the GRCS to put a stout drill on it...

They will have a website that's coming but for now all of their info is on their instagram account. They are looking to charge between $1800 and $2000 but also their WLL will be...

    Deals found on eBay/craigslist or whatever

    That's why I specified my store had it for $360. Below the price on the website is a little link you can click that says "See in store clearance price." I have no clue if any of y'all have as cheap or cheaper of a clearance price.

    Plans and Goals.

    This is tangential to this discussion. This older guy certainly ran with his hobby and had a lot of fun tinkering to make his wood gassifier truck work.

    Your Preferred Method for Flinging a Throw Weight/Throw Ball for Setting A Line!

    I also use cradle to throw and the APTA for particularly dense canopies or undergrowth or a really high TIP. Or, sometimes if I am near powerlines and I feel like I am "off" from throwing for the day I will use the APTA for stuff I would normally throw in to. I don't like the idea of...

    Echo rear-handle electric, charger, 5AH battery, plus free extra 2.5 AH battery, $300

    I have both the 2500t and the DCS5000. The rear handle battery saw is not something I would buy again. Save your money for a better saw. It's very much a homeowner saw. The 2500t is great and is a professional saw. It's my main climbing saw since most of my work is pruning. The 2.5 ah battery...

    New Harness Made By DMM

    Both the Treemotion and this saddle were designed by Treemagineers so it's not surprising they look similar. This is basically the Treemotion if Teufelberger had pushed for continued innovation. I like my Treemotion as well and so far I haven't had any corrosion issues like others have had due...

    New Harness Made By DMM

    I got the Treemotion Pro before I ended up hearing the negatives about it. It's what I am using now and I do enjoy the comfort of the saddle compared to the MCRS I used to run. Now that Ihave used this Tremotion I realuze I like a double bridge. The Monkeybeaver doesn't seem to have that as an...

    New Harness Made By DMM

    DMM Kinisi Max Arborist Harness I have heard from some testers that this is a really good harness. I haven't tried it yet but if this goes on sale for 20% off at Arbsession this year then I might get it. $850 for a harness is a tough pill to swallow. I have considered the MonkeyBeaver 2.0 and...

    Mileage trackers

    I use the app Hurdlr. It tracks my trips and usually after a few trips or at the end of the day I will open it up. It will show my separate trips and I can swipe them left or right to designate them as business or personal. I can pull up each of those categories for individual dates or within a...

    chipper odds N ends

    When I ran a bucket crew for pruning we would clean with an air hose the air filter on our Bandit 1590 probably twice a week. If we were chipping stuff that was super dry and crispy then sometimes every day. I think the crane crew with the Bandit 1890 would clean it every day and sometimes with...

    Service drops

    I haven't ever had an issue come up with house drops. All of the companies where I have worked we always treated them as no contact. One company I worked for in Vermont had someone accidentally contact a house drop with their foam core pole saw. There was a pop, a little flash, and the arc...

    Business owners, do you expect a potential employee to negotiate pay?

    He works some jobs with me and then some he doesn't. It depends on the job and it depends on how much PHC he has to go do.
