I'll be your huckleberry Doc Holliday

Danno Lil' buddy, yep, wedges are extra measure of security, keeps tree from setting back on bar, like this back leaner tree. I dont like to much tension on pull rope, theres already a chance of barber chair if to Much tension on back leaner. Wedges are your friend little guy ;)

The Dan, if you dont know why, then you should get out of tree service and become a Walmart greeter, just saying ;) lol

Very nice job on the vid REG!

Im posting this pic for Bixler, way up in a Ponderosa pine, he just dropped top

I use samson Vortex 12.7mm 24stand...easy on hands...SRT and DRT...have a 150ft and 200ft hanks

Got way out on this Big Branch, had to lower branches over service drop and phone line

Had to TIP into the oak, this funky grey pine had no top....this pine was not a easy removal

some pics of job....

Your welcome! Go with a newer chipper thats CARB legal or go under 50HP and you will be safe.....just dont go smaller than a 9in, you will be working harder than you should with a 6in exp. with those ponderosa, jeffrey, cedar and tamarack pine branches ;)

A tree service in my area had the 10" mobark drum chipper and his bearings went out, drum shifted and hit anvil and caused 5K worth of damage I agree, 16K seems to steep

CARB renewal due Feb 2015, you can use it till feb 2015 thats for sure, but theres a good chance they wont let you renew after that, $16750 its a lot of money for just over a year use, and if they did let you renew for a few years more it will be done after that...they want tier 2 and tier 3...

I would stay away from that purchase, CARB (california air resource board ) will shut it down being thats it diesel and over 50HP and not a tier 4 motor...you will not be able to register it in CA Talked to the Sac. bandit dealer today, they say bandit is sending them GAS motor chippers now...

Thanks for making my post so clear, glad you chimed in, your such a pro, and like always you have nothing to contribute to the climbing forum, you should be in 101

Ya, ill have to say this place is lame, a lot of wannabe's and bucket babies on here...real climbers left this place awhile ago..all the fighting and unprofessionalism killed this site...just saying

Thanks for the kind words! Brian Bixler hired me to help him on this project, he is above average climber, he has the gopro cam, does a fantasic job on taking vids, hes in the hi viz green shirt Im in orange shirt I own my own tree service as well, just used Brian today to help me deadwood...

Bixler does great vids, mabey hollywood next for him lol

Thank you....the second tree in the video measured over 5' at trunk

Thanks....Grass Valley
