Hey Butch, got them down yesterday after an urgent job that came up.Started about 12:00 and finished around 4:00 and then had a heck of a bonus dinner. I topped the big ones at 20 ft and this new electric/viscous clutch lowering-raising device worked absolutely fantastic! Totally remote controlled be me in the tree. Never even missed having a ground helper Still have to clean up the wood though, customers now want me to mill the logs for raised beds.

Electric/viscous clutch raising/lowering device?

What the hail is that? Gotta pic?

 

[SilverBlue]

Ever see the GRCS? Well this one has a spool, liquid cooled locking clutch and a heavy duty 24V driven motor, all controlled by wireless remote, no pics allowed until any bugs are found and the unit is patented. I love this machine!
you can see it when U get here.

 

[MasterBlaster]

What, did you fabricate it yourself?

 

[SilverBlue]

Yep! Talked to JPS a ways back and it got me inspired.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Cool. I didn't know it was a top-secret kinda thing.

 

[SilverBlue]

Here's the next removal, nice hack job huh? What a shame and the customer was told by the company that raped this tree that it would last for years.

 

[rbtree]

Aargh!

Hey now, you've whetted our interest on this new toy...does it come with batteries? fully charged?

A pic from the first time I used my Dig cam, spring 02.

 

[MasterBlaster]

And Roger.

That is a great shot of zipping those limbs...thanks for sharing.

 

[a_lopa]

yes the remote winch would be good for something,must be a hell of an engineer

 

[jason j ladue]

that rc winch sounds great. this idea may be way outta line, but could it be used to raise a climber into the tree- just a thought

nice pic RB. lovin seattle...

[ROLLACOSTA]

I miss ROGER , his post's ,pics ,and threads were great ,i hope he's ok

 

[MasterBlaster]

Me too, bro. It's wack how some members just disappear. I don't get it, I ain't going anywhere. If ya'll don't hear from me it's cuz I'm dead or something.

 

[ROLLACOSTA]
