Couple picks from yesterdays work

yah a much higher TIP wouldve made your movement much easier all around in that tree.

in a tree like that i go to the highest/safest/best working TIP i can find and go from there.


in the second pic whats the line going through 2 crotches?

and also to comment on the rign even though you might have a target (house) under the work sometimes its easier to go bigger.

i have never used a GRCS so i cant speak for them.

now saying that i still wouldve went big with alot of that wood.

was your rope guya vet of tree work? telln ya a good rope guy is a wonderful thing.

anyway good stuff. get a helmet.

That is one reason for going small,it is hard to afford great help
here,I have a guy that comes in for bad ones and can pay him good
for the ground work on them! Actually removing with spurs on I would
rather cut it out small as it does not take me long! And I want it gone
when I come down but thats just me! I would not give the money
they want for a gcrs, overpriced and just another thing to store
is my opinion. I have a winch if I want something moved and I
trust it much more.

only get a helmet if you want.

i don't wear them,leave it up to the individual while we're still somewhat free.

gotsta where the bucket homeboy. i feel azz naked with out one on anytime i am doing anything tree related.

and rope i felt the same way about a GRCS until i saw a demo vid where they were dropping volvo's to test it.

if i happened to have 2500 or so dollars to get something i would rarely use but when i did it would be the balls having it piece of equipment i would get one.

i'd like to work with one but i have never had the opportunity.

I agree Oldirty, I'd feel naked without my brain bucket and I'm saving up right now for a GRCS. You don't need something like that everyday ,
but it sure would increase your capabilities. Especially for storm damage work.

Helmets are a great thing...i dont think its a matter of freedom...more common sense....but when you are the boss on a job its your call and if you dont want one that is your call...i just personally think its not very smart...

Second the GRCS, storm work and opens you do a wide range of technical jobs.

They are awesome machines...i would love one.
