Arborist Block(s)

[Garden Of Eden]

Hey, I know this is probably a long-shot, but I'm looking for one, or maybe even two arborist pulleys. I liked the ones I had from baileys, but they seem to have disappeared?? I'm probably looking for used, as I know what new costs, and hesitate to spend the $ twice.

Thanks, and God Bless,

Jeff

GOE are you looking for a block or a pulley? Can be a big difference in usage and cost between the two.

I use CMI blocks. The 5/8 is good for just about anything, and the price is very reasonable. Excellent quality too. Don't buy a used block....Mike

Thats exactly what I had. I had 3 of the 5/8. I only got one now. I had my entire rigging bag stolen recently.

Only on very rare occasions when rigging out very large trees have I needed a 3rd block. So pick up another 5/8 and you should be pretty much all set..... Mike

I think it would be easier to buy a used block than a used bucket truck. I mean there is less to inpsect on the block right? Just look it over, it you see signs of wear or trauma the you know its shot but if you don't then I would say its safe. How many times does one use a block off the work truck at a company? You don't know where its been, most likely you don't want to either.

Was kinda thinking the same thing. lol Thats the reason for the search. Mine originally were new, but even after the first time, they are used. The way I figured it anyway. I'm just trying to keep my expenses in line while it's slower.

Thanks,
