O.C.G.D. Thread, part two

[top hopper]

Ah. I have that version of the RG. I much preferred the "rope" version though.

There is a newer version now.

4th or 5th generation, I think.

 

[top hopper]

Your gonna like the Tachyon. My only gripe about the tight eye hank I bought is, the eye is too tight. I really gotta work to get the biner into it.

 

[lumberjack]

The newer one has the weird pulley?

I have 2 rope versions, I like this versions pulley by far.

 

[top hopper]

Agreed, I like the pulley better too, but dont care for the flat webbing. I liked being able to swap out the rope if'n I wanted to.

Yeah the newest version has the cocoon pulley

 

[The Branch Doctor]

I've been spending a few bucks on gear the last couple of weeks but I needed too in a big way! Here's the list:

Petzl Tresbee friction saver
120' 7/16 velocity
Zubat telescoping pole saw
2 8' orange poles
Jameson pole saw head
3 hook blades
replacement blade for my sugoi

That's all I can remember at the moment.

[Paul B]

sounds like you are replacing all your tools or starting out new?
Sounds like a cool pile of gear either way.

 

[beaker]

The collection of stuff is pretty much starting from new, I'm just climbing for fun at the moment. I'm dabbling both in SRT & the traditional doubled setup.

And I'm already finding more things to buy... my wife's gonna kill me!

[squisher]

New gear pics are worthless without pics!!! Let's see the pile of loot!

Oh yah and welcome to the treehouse.

That's my new tires and wheels in the background.

 

[top hopper]

A fine collection of saws Justin.

Not an orange one in the bunch!

For a canucklehead, your alright in my book. Despite what everyone tells me.

 

[lumberjack]

I spy some loose chains!

 

[SkwerI]

Yeah, and the bars don't get flipped very often either. Every single bar has the name right side up. I don't think I've ever had every single bar on every single saw I own all with the writing right side up at the same time.

 

[inztrees]

nice new weel bro good skore

 

[Old Monkey]

Loose chain cuts faster in soft woods.

 

[No_Bivy]

Loose chain cuts faster in soft woods.

do what?

 

[Old Monkey]

If you are cutting pine and firs a looser chain cuts a little faster. If you are cutting brush or hard woods it is better to tighten it up.

 

[squisher]

Tight chains are for people who don't know how to cut.

And Brian, can't have the bars on upside down otherwise you have to cut backwards.

 

[sotc]

And Brian, can't have the bars on upside down otherwise you have to cut backwards.

hahahahaha

I had intentions on getting a dump trailer next year...I stumbled across this truck though '97, 7.3 Diesel, 4x4, 85k miles....I am thinking of giving a low ball offer to see if he bites. Right now he's asking what a dump trailer would cost me...

I have a crush on this body style truck too.

 

[SkwerI]

That's not a dump body, is it?

 

[MasterBlaster]

Nope.

 

[brendonv]

Na, just a flatbed.

 

[lumberjack]

I'd pass Brendon, another truck that you won't use much will cost far more than a dump trailer will make you.

The $100 a month on my chip trucks insurance is getting annoying and it's only been 2 months since I've used it. I rarely go a week without using the dump trailer though, and it makes life MUCH easier.

 

[squisher]

That's a nice looking truck but the one you've already got is nicer methinks and already dumps?

Trailer= low maintenance

Truck= Fix Or Repair Daily

 

[lumberjack]

That's what I was trying to get out, Justin.

Also, trailers have low depreciation (unless it's like my old tree hauler) and minimal overhead.
