I do a little bit of tree work on the side, been looking to replace my red max with something of similar size with a little more power and stumbled across the echo CS 400. I have an echo dealer close by and had good luck with other echo stuff. Thinking I’d run a 16” bar on it to use the...

Not really, the board is a volunteer group and I don’t hold a officer position, just a member. I have a contract to do maintenance and landscape trimming/tree work around the neighborhood, nothing is “under the table” or secret about it. Our community is roughly 150 homes, and for the...

In addition to living in the neighborhood, I'm also on the HOA board...so travel time to the "jobsite" is 2 minutes from one end of the development to the other. Word has spread a little bit, and I assume it will continue to do so as time progresses.

Thinking I’ll go with this https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=274&item=3539#detail

Just checked out the lite version online, for another $75 over The Buckingham looks like the way to go https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=274&item=3539#detail

Gotcha :) the tremotion does look nice, just above my price range for occasional climbing. I do tree work as a Part time/weekend thing. 80% of my work is done from the ground. Basically wanted to learn to climb to do my own work/parents/family trees...and to reach slightly higher stuff without...

Hard to tell from the pics they have. I’ll give them a call tomorrow :)

It does look nice. Was thinking about this one as it’s more in my price range for occasional climbing. https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=141&item=1952#

Was wondering how the Buckingham was for customizing with carabiner or chainsaw hooks...are there “slots” in the webbing they can be added?

I know the post is almost 2 years old but had a question about your harness. Are there loops in the webbing on the side and back to add carabiners and a chainsaw tool hook?

I picked up a used weaver double-D from a Facebook arborist group (he was selling as it was too big for him) Anyways...planning to learn to climb with it (DRT) but was looking around treestuff.com at all the saddles and was wondering what a good next step would be without being crazy expensive...

We discussed treatment at the last board meeting but due to the close proximity of the houses at the trees were planted they are basically just too big for the area that the builder stuck them :/

My accountant said not to worry about it (just got done filing for 2017) they’ll get a nice cut of my HOA paid stuff the next 5 years...have 70 ash trees to remove to prep for replanting. (EAB is here). They’re easy removals and I quoted a flat rate per tree. 6-10” across where I’ll cut and...

I have insurance, and an arborist license. The last couple years I made just under $600 so there wasn’t a 1099 issued This year I will be well over that in the neighborhood

I bill the HOA $50/hr (cash) I have a site I can dump for free, use my pickup and a 6.5x12 trailer. Usually it’s a little trimming here and there/storm damage. My Neighborhood is 15 years old so not much for big trees yet...hand saw or power pruner takes care of 90%

I’m going to be looking at an apartment complex job this weekend that they want the lower branches removed on all the “pine trees” for mowers to go underneath easier up to 5-6ft (seems that’s what everyone says they have because of the needles lol). Being pretty new to doing tree work is there...

Is that all echo saws 20% off? I may have to pickup a new saw at some point. Currently running a 355T and love it, just need a bigger ground saw

What is everyone using for a rack to secure a power Pruner to a open trailer? Just picked up an echo PPT-2260 and want to carry it on a rail sided utility trailer

Was just going to hook the lanyard to the ladder

I’m sure it is, some of the trees I’ve been working on aren’t big/strong enough to support climbing but big enough it can’t be worked from the ground :)
