Its gonna be a gift w/ purchase of however much. I wish I had more time to spend on the forums, all I ever do is work anymore and I have my face buried in a spreadsheet or a cell phone more often than anything now. Running an arborist retail business is kinda like running a tree care...

Havent been on the forums much lately, but Butch saw this on facebook and asked me to post it here: The GIF can be found here if you are into that https://media.giphy.com/media/l4FGG9nqvQ4MUJbnG/giphy.gif

Great post!

Just chilling, running errands and getting ready to move. Picked up a new TV, amazon (not black friday madness). Took down all the artwork today packed up about a third of my tree gear, I need another 2 job boxes! Chris, i wouldnt go back either to rake, but we did it all the time at Green.

Stig just transcended the notch

Its an old Davey truck, what else is there to know :lol: Go to the auction and get you one! I do love the boxy old style though, there is one sitting in my old yard as we speak, I never saw it move.

I gave notice . mobile...

Just chilling today. green is in the rearview and I am going to contract a couple days in the next week or two with a local place while I get my crap together to move to Indy. I told him how much I wanted on the phone last night and he was like well that sounds ok but lets make it $2 MORE... I...

The easy money is in pruning. Its not uncommon for my 2 man crew to do $6,000 in pruning in a week and only $1500 or so in removals.

I try new stuff and take pictures all the time. Im not an owner operator though, I imagine that would change things.

I had a great day today. I just got off the phone with Merle Nelson, a member here, and we spontaneously started a really exciting project together! Thanks Merle!

I misspoke, I meant scaffold knot, I am painfully aware of the confusion regarding the fishermans/scaffold/doublefishermans. Sorry. I have been rock climbing a bit as of late and they call it a double fishermans.

If you are going to start using an eye and eye a 3/1 schwabish, IMO, is the best knot to start with. Get an unspliced 40" 10mm Beeline or Ocean Pacific cord and tie fishermans knots. If tied long enough the 'style' of using a blakes/tautline can be achieved, and then it can be shortened to go to...

My 046 rips but it was close to $1000 so I would take a free 038 anyday!

Husquavarna, those Phanner things, what kind?

Whats the $50,000 cut?

I hate working in shitty weather, but the GreenMachine doesnt want to stop.. :( downside of big business.. Nice iron Keith!

Good stuff everyone, just catching up! Things are pretty humdum here, we havent had ANY days off for weather...Maybe 1 since January and 2 since I started last year?? It was a blizzard the other morning, total white out and they sent my crew on 'the hardest removal I ever bid' according to the...

I have found that having a short piece, like 40' is best with the Maasdam, rarely do I need more than 40' of pull and yarding 200' through it is a PITA as Stephen alludes to.

They are only $35 on amazon... Maasdam A20 Rope Puller.. http://www.amazon.com/Maasdam-PowR-A-20-Capacitty-Puller/dp/B00099FFOI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363482232&sr=8-1&keywords=maasdam+rope+puller Which is crazy because Sherrill charges like $64 for the same thing
