Running a tree service is difficult. Training and maintaining expert crew is essential but expensive. I help tree services maximize their safety, efficiency and profitability with coaching and world class training at an affordable rate.

I do the same exact thing, exact I don't take the tape off and I glue the tape with a thin layer of super glue so it never comes off as well. Looks cleaner.

I also hand sew whippings below the tape for extra security. Also, only use electrical tape! The 33 grade!

You could just wrap your rope around a second time if climbing drt, then you don't need to buy this extra piece of equipment ;) you cant abseil down after but it will do exactly the same thung if you fall

Man this is really great stuff! I've not seen 2 lines used for letting tree's down. How would you rig down 40 ft pecan limbs over a house? Some are 45 degree angle and some of them 15 degrees from being flat and the center ones are 15 degrees from being strait up,

Heavy, awkward and had trouble making cuts without going into protection mode unless opeating a 12 amp hour. Feel and weight are two very important factors for someone using a saw daily. If you are throwing your shoulder out pull starting a small gas saw then perhaps change the plug and clean out the air filter. I was interested in this but it sounds as blocky as the two handled saw they have which I tried and sold.

What are your thoughts on the new huski saw
@Stridertrees10 күн бұрын
The Top Handle saw is excellent. Tons of power, and much easier to use because of the clutch preventing the worst of the stalling out. I'm concerned about the durability of the batteries especially, and its trigger response is a bit slow which is a little annoying, but thats a small thing. On the whole its fantastic, and its my go-to most of the time, but its not a saw I would buy if I had a crew who passes around the saw. Too expensive for its expected longevity.

Great review. Regarding the shoulder straps, and difficulty removing the whole setup, I saw a KZread video where the Edelrid rep used a small carabiner to attach/detach one of the tethers where it meets the waist harness in the front. By detaching that, he could easily get the shoulder harness over his head. Edelrid has a whole series on this saddle which is very informative. Here is a link to the one with the Shoulder harness modification (at 1 minute 20 seconds), and you can find the rest by going to their home page and searching for "Treerex": kzread.info/dash/bejne/dYpptJWzgM6caM4.html

Mobile hunting led me to Saddle hunting, which led me to SRT for WAY safer climbing practices to hunt. which has led me to arborist industry videos like yours, which leads me to further knowledge of safer yet climbing practices and tricks for positioning in simpler fashion than limb walking. At this point friends think I’m crazy though I know I’m safer than them up there, and I become more interested in looking into the arborist industry for work the more tree climbing I do. Thank you for putting out quality videos on this line of work!

iirc, GRCS (i'm an owner), has a 2000 lb limit ??? at least on pulling, on the 209 foot line i was told to buy with it; for sure, on a hang, i had to use a 3/6 ton more power puller, since the sweet sweet GRCS was topped out... for common light jobs, esp where i want to then easily release slack, GRCS is bomb, but the MPP is the king for pull with blue line
