    90 ft. OmmeLift

    Yes, I got the lift last Feb. 82 Omme. Happy so far. I've had a few issues with the machine. Mercury basket level switch which would cause the machine to stop was the most serious because it was hard to track down. Left me stranded in the air a couple of times. I work by myself almost all...

    Tom Dunlop, Buzz Tyrant?

    I always had the impression that he wanted to be thought of as renaissance man and that TB reflected a lot of that arsegrabbing arrogance. I probably was wrong but since I'm banned over there I'll never know. I'm probably headed in the same direction on this site.

    We had a small storm blown hickory hung up in another tree over a guy's shed. Tree was only 40 ft and there was a big cherry within 30 ft. so I hung a block in the cherry crotch, tied it off below, dragged the GRCS out of the truck for the first time in a couple years, cranked it up and off the...

    I found my old fart machine, which was missing a remote, while looking for my new fart machine and my new fart machine remote triggers both of them. Double fart machines plus old people with bad hearing as my targets. It looks like it may be a near perfect Thanksgiving at the Grace Tree...

    Is this a setup question where you'll later bury us under a fact-a-lanche?

    whadja do today?

    I only planned on one job before Thanksgiving so yesterday I took 4 trees apart and today I took the bobcat back and dragged the brush out by the driveway. Planned on chipping tomorrow. It's a shared driveway and I kept my truck and trailer on the homeowner's half. The homeowner warned me...

    Morbark 2070

    I have an older 2070 with a 66hp Wisconsin. 7" rating, 10" capacity. Unless they've changed the design, it's a one knife chipper. Cheap to operate, but it doesn't blow chips very far. I've replaced the drum bearings a couple of times in the past 6 years. Too often but we chip whatever will...

    I'm glad it's up and running again. I'm hoping it will evolve because the new format's too distracting for me. Too cluttered or something.

    More easy duty today lifting widow cleaners. A guy called and told me he just put a notch in his tree and now he's afraid it might hit the house. Come right away. I told him I couldn't get there until the end of next week and he'd better call someone else. Be interested in how that came out. Phil

    201T Question

    When I bought my 201 I got about the same treatment. Guy asked me if I was a "professional" because he wouldn't sell it to me unless I was. I laughed because I thought he was kidding. He wasn't but I think it was just his way explaining that the top handle isn't a ground saw and just because...

    HomeAdvisor

    When they called me the rep wanted to know why I wasn't interested. I told him I'd heard bad thing about them to which the guy replied, "Well I've heard bad things about you. 'Guess he realized it wasn't a very snappy comeback because he hung up. Phil

    Ok, neighbor wants a zipline.

    I know it has to be higher on one end or else you get stuck in the middle and the fire department has to come rescue you. Hope this helps, Phil Also, if it's not high enough, you get grass stains on your knees and your mom yells at you.

    HomeAdvisor

    They called earlier this week. I wasn't home so my wife went round and round with them trying to figure out what they were. I guess the guy finally got mad at her questions and ditched her. I've told them I wasn't interested before and the guy got really angry. Can't really say if they're...

    Unicender friction comparison

    I bought one because I thought it would be a step up from the Lockjack. It wasn't. It was a bit harder to advance, seemed to get in the way more often when I was working and was more jerky to descend. The only advantage I saw over the LJ was SRT. Last couple of years the only time I used...

    Hot here yesterday so I took the day off and looked at and indoor job to lift a guy to replace some ceiling tile over a hotel pool. All I have to do is drive the lift through the front door with 1/2" of height clearance, past the reception desk, into the pool atrium and around the backside of...
