[treeclimber101]

I don't care or know what it is, I just know I need it.

You can have it ....... But we have to try at least once to drop a tree on it ! I hit a guy with it and it took him off his feet it's like double walled and really stretchable

Yep. That looks like it would launch a small log rather unpredictably. Do it!

Be sure to post the video. opcorn:

To be honest: I am debating on whether a Wraptor is much more practical than spiking. Yes, it sure is nice to ride it up HELL YEAH but today we did not even shoot any lines as it was best to start at the bottom and cut my way into everything cleaning out the stubs , little branches and removing the lower limbs as I went. The one tree I climbed twice and wasn't that bad.

I bet there were plenty that said no spikes were more practical on a td when they were first invented. I cut on the way up on the Wraptor all the time on pruning and td's. Often pruning one side on way up and do the other side on the way down Dr. Proctologist.

Yep. The only thing I worry about is smoking the little clutches inside the thing. I had to take mine apart and noticed quite a bit of clutch dust inside. So I guess either all on, or off the throttle is best. Just something to keep in mind. Common sense really, but it just didn't occur to me at first. Awesome little tool to have in the truck, though, no doubt.

The Dr says, " There must be 50 gays up in yer butthole"

Yes yes, I am sure this is true and I frequently shoot a top rope in a TD for stability, its just that on this last job I didn't think it would be practical. In the time spent setting up a Wraptor I was already up and cutting and didn't feel like getting strung up in a throwline as I think we all would have still been there trying to untangle it from all the underbrush and brambles. I normally would not pass on a ride up a tree but in this case it just didn't seem worth it.

I set 3 pulleys and 2 3/4 inch ropes in the one tree which we used to take down itself and another tree. Then I had my 3 long climbing lines. Added anymore ropes to the pot would have been confounding.

I did managed to make a movie star swing into the adjacent tree we were taking down.

Poor Mike, I was glad someone else was there to help out. The ground was hilly and rocky, no picnic.

Randy was his name. He was an old cantankerous curmudgeon but seemed like a nice enough chap. Kinda reminded me of you. He was helping to keep the line sorted and also helping to land the branches I was sending down. At one point I was zipping logs down and they were smacking into a smallish hemlock, one got hung up on one of its stubs and it took them both some time to get it down. He was also running a saw pretty good.

I got me a little stump grinder today, she's a little rough, missing tires and rims no belts, some tweeker took it home to work on it at some tree service and never put it back together. Im told it only has 20 hours on it. Its a husqvarna with a 13 hp honda motor. Changed the oil. drained the gas and put in fresh, a shot of ether she fired right up. Got if for 500.00 bucks.

If there was just you and me on a job, Dr. PeePee, it'd be you on the ground and me in the tree, were the best guy to be up there. Just sayin...

And ofcourse I mean that in just the most delightful way possible.

I looked at two maples today that are 80%dead, they said do it.

 

[treeclimber101]

Today I did 2 cord of wood split and stacked on pallets and put in the container to be delivered Friday , were supposed to be getting a nor'easterish type of storm thurs nite , loaded the bucket put the chipper away in preps for work thurs , put on 2 snowplows and a salter and prepped for a party of about 25/30 people

got 5 cases of beer loaded my outside fridge and I set up a grab and go Cooler at the door old school house party style , so tomorrow I look forward to cleaning a trashed house and a strong hangover followed by the parade ! Wish me luck in not eating too many brownies and passing out in the gutter face down like last week .

Happy New Year to all you guys. Sounds like a great partay.

In college we used to have a 50 gal. drum outside the door and you poured whatever you brung and it had a tap on the bottom.

Oh stop, that's the Geritol talking now.

And speaking of being all hopped up on Geritol: Where is Ropes?

Anyway:

Me and my daughter were supposed to go to the indoor archery range this morning but it was way to crowded so I packed about a half cord into the 6.5 foot bed of my truck and took it up to Peabody before this snow we are supposed to get.

Then I stopped and picked up a check from a client who hasn't paid me since the summer. Also, there was a check in the mail from another overdue invoice so I just might be able to get my dump truck out of hock soon.

Other than that I hope to be like Peabody, Treevet and the rest of the fine senior citizens around here and be fast asleep soon and stay that way til well into the new year. It would be interesting to go party with 101 but I don't think I could keep up.
