The GRCS has a safe working load of 2500 lbs. Shock loading can reach this working load limit with very light loads of 200 & 300 lbs. The GRCS is designed to be able to work in just about any tree removal job. Should the user exceed the working load limits of the rigging or the rigging...

Check out the Fecon brush mower. It is an attachment for the skid steers. It is a good idea to get a skid steer, lots of attachments all of the attachments work very well so you have a true multi-use machine. In our area, Northern Calif. we have very steep areas, rocky, and also all different...

Damm, I gotta get me some of that! Whats that 'ol suthurn boy want for that collection? I gotta old truck, think he'll swap me for it? Frans

O.K. O.K. I'm sorry, I'll lighten up just a bit :) Hey, by the way the 1/2" old climbing rope is a real bad idea for this application. I'm not a brainiac but the forces on a speed line are up to (5) times greater even with just a small shock load then with simply lowering the branch. The...

Hey, your gonna cut the circulation off in your leg resting it on the door of your truck like that. Believe me i've been there... Frans

Wait until Sherrills has the Carbon Fiber spurs. I have a friend just got back from Germany and he has a pair for me. I'll post pictures when I get them. Very similar to the Geckos, just even lighter Frans

I tip my hat to you sir! Frans

The metallurgy of Chipper knives is extremly important to the performance of this critical component. Knive storage MUST follow specific protocols in order to preserve this hybrid technology. Step 1: On receipt (and inspection) of your new knives you must first wipe them throughly using...

I think wheel size is very important to keep the teeth cool and not 'case harden' the teeth when sharpening. I use the Silvey 510 (round ground). Most of the other chain sharpening machines use smaller grinding wheels but the Silvey is a good 8" in dia. You could'nt give me any other model...

Actually, Mike Mass you may be inaccurate with this statement you made. I am NOT a mechanic however I do know the 191t was a reed type engine (or carb) and the ms200 is not. the 192t has the same engine type as the ms200. Just less power and less weight. This is a fact easily found out by...

Has anyone heard of this machine? It is an articulated, 4 wheel hydrostatic drive, powered by a 3 cylinder Duetz engine. Any info is welcome... Frans

Yes, there are many simularities in all fields of endeavor. Girdling is done in grape fields where the pholem is cut to restrict the flow of nutrients back down to the roots and divert it to making larger grapes. Declining fruit orchard trees were shot with buckshot in the trunks to do the...

Whats this crap about walking on water? How about trying to seperate our trade from the low rent hacks? You know, improve ourselves and our industry? or how about, NOT accepting the lowest common denomintor as being normal?. What are you about, business as usual? Sure may be a firewood...

NO! You cannot ask a stupid question! Try asking a smart question like the one you just asked:

We will disclose no means of surreptitiously destroying trees or shrubbery. We will endeavor at all times to so conduct ourselves that our craft shall merit the highest respect and esteem of all persons. Excerpt from: The Arborist's Creed & Principals of Practice, from Millard Blair. This...

I am curious if the choke lever is in a position to be in the way or brake off easily? Frans

Altho subjective, I have to agree. Here is why; The Husky climbing saws have had alot of trouble from the get go. Poor idleling, weak low end torque. I also dont like the 'ergonomic' thumb rest which actually shifts your wrist downwards into a weaker position. Huskys run at a faster speed...

Bought the BR550. The tube is non-adjustable in length. The 4-mix engine sounds like a choked down 2 stroke but when we ran the BR420CMagnum and the 550 side by side the 550 is more powerfull. I understand Stihl is coming out with a BR600. Maybe I'll buy that one when it comes out. Here in...

Buy a UniMog. Even if you never use it for work those things will put you in such a great state of mind you will prob. live an extra 10 years :blob3: Chicks will come running to you, your hair will never fall out, and you will prob. win the Lottery as well. (I really like Unimogs) Frans
