Power Pruner In The Tree???

I've heard worse said here.

I have an fs85 string trimmer that I put a pole saw head on. I find it really useful for several situations:
1) Cutting brush that is difficult to penetrate.
2) Cutting wind/ice/storm damaged trees that are difficult to "unload" safely. The extra 6' gives me a little piece of mind.
3) In the tree the occasional odd situation that requires extra reach and the branch is too large to cut with a pole saw (in excess of 8").
To say that there is never a reason to use a pp in a tree is rediculous. No one on this site has seen every single situation that can occur with tree work. To act as if one has is arrogance.

Be careful rocky....have you checked terraserver....you may be able to see that from your house.

I believe that rocky tries to do the right thing when conducting tree work. However, I would be lying if I said I've never failed to spend the extra hour necessary to make "the perfect cut" on a low paying job. Take it easy, he's not out topping. At least he's willing to admit he isn't perfect.

Uncalled for, and a little low. Don't you think so Ax-man?

If some reason you don't think Rocky's post to me was uncalled for and a little low that sparked that comment, then my answer to you is a resounding NO IT WAS NOT.

I'm sure you would feel differently if it was directed at YOU!!!!

Perhaps we need to bring in Large Marge to do some spanking on the bad boys.

I'm just not very good at sugar coating my observations on stupid ideas, that's all.

That deficit in your people skills will undoubtly bring great hardship upon yourself eventually.
If you are intelligent as you appear to be, you realize this by now.

You CRUDELY told me once before to listen more, and post less.

Allow me to advise you to think a little more before you post an unnecessary, crude, rude remark. :angel:

If you can't be polite, STFUP!

But see, now? Thats not polite. I apoligize.

My point is that on a website you don't need to be hitting someone personally!

>> If you're such a crappy climber that you can use this convoluted method faster than reaching out with a top handle chainsaw, then you probably should have one of those blue tags hanging from your truck mirror so you don't have to hobble so far into the grocery store <<<


You don’t think I didn’t take that as a personal attack on me. To me it was totally uncalled for, after reading that , you tell me how I’m suppose to feel.



>> It was a stupid suggestion and I pretty much stated that. <<

>> I just called you on your dumb idea.<<<


If you Rocky had only started your post with words like this, and give the reason you did, none of this would have happened. I can handle criticism, you just went about it the wrong way.

I admit my idea was a little “ off base “ If you had said it was stupid and dumb, with a good reason which you did state. I would have no problem with this or you.

That crack about being a crappy climber and needing handicap stickers was low blow , that was as personal to me, as my comment was to you.

Hey,
Why are you guys busting on the perpetual sitter? I happen to have one of those blue tags. I think everyone is insensitive and cruel, as soon as I locate my yellow pages I'm going to find the biggest full color personal injury lawyer ad and then all of you'll all be sorry. Your a bunch of bullies and I want you to know you've hurt my feeling.

Gentleman let this table be round.

We are all used to being warriors against the odds in the field; commanding cooperation of giants -the largest living organisms to wander our earth. Wee seem to be a breed that locks horns with the bull, and thru conniving and determination of body, mind and soul; just don't give up before it does, ushering its nose to the ground with control and grace. As wee ants stand before these matchstix!

There aren't many like us, if you can't wave or nod passing another crew on the road a block from the job; and end up up side down in the air; Who ya gonna call?

All that aggresive energy, can be used in its place not hear. Here ye, can tip visors and toss these things around. Fold in things and views, see if they work for you.

Peace.

i see peoples wanting to be looked on as polished profession-alls; carrying on like they were loud, rowdy roughnecks behind a seedy bar; trying to intimidate and prove each other out. i guess that is the ugly side of male competition; but think it should be channeled and controlled better! The war is in the fieds against gravity and injury i feel; not against one of the few on the planet that could rescue you in an emergency the way we push the odds. Nor against the only, almost chosen; few that can share and expand your own experiences; and also can do so through this medium.

i see the possibility of quiet thinkers and learners (with their own enrichening contributions) shying away from these loud, unsettling abashments; - short changing all. For i have felt these tides in myself; but have chosen to stay in the thin times; but what of those i try now (and previously) to speak for?

i think this board is great; and perhaps haven't thanked ya for it lately. But; i think it is great and dynamic enough, to try to be just this good positive, shining thing you have birthed, without the rest. i hope i am never really taken negatively, all ways and always try to peacefully present and explore. Ok lil'sarcasm and word-play for balance too!

Thanx for everything;
and as always
thanx for your co-arboration!,

If Y'all wanna be the Supremes,

You must learn

the write tune.

R-E-S-P-E-C-T;

What it really means to me;

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

i think in the last 2 months we've seen enough good people fade from here from this crap, that makes ya think how many others not quite noticed as much did too, and how many guests, don't sign up and stay; then we all lose their contributions etc.

i think it is a lot better around here when a class of Foresters, Physics etc. students find deep insights and lessons here than socilogists and psychology students! The former is closer to the aim, perhaps the latter impossible to evade being all people; but at least ya could make it a tough class for upper classmen only; where they have to study it hard, and not be so frickin'blatant!

Or something like that guys!

Spidey, you da MAN!

 

[Ax-man]

This is senseless to continue bickering with each other any further. There are more important issues on this site other than this one. So... can we please move onto them.

If I bicker in person I might get beat up.....I feel safer behind my computer.
