Hey Guys! That is INSANE! My question is WHY???? What in the HECK is someone like that thinking . . . is he in that big of a hurry? My opinion is people who do things like that are just like people who commit crimes and do other things to screw up their lives which directly affect...

I do much of the same thing. Look at trees and figure out the best methods of taking them down or pruning them. Funny, I really didn't think other guys thought of this too! Steve

Hey Guys! I am looking for employment overseas as a tree climber with 4 years experience. Plus I have a degree in Business. I am 26 and never been out of the country and would like to leave and work and learn abroad. Any country or even Alaska would be cool. Thanks, Steve P.S.-...

I always call storm damage "emergency work" and do not rake up every pine needle or leaf left on the ground like on a regular removal or prune. This is so I can get to the next job how ever I tell them this before hand so if the want every leaf picked up I sub it to a landscape mantainance...

Hey, what about the guys that do the contract line clearing? Many of them top trees. That is probably who did this municipal job.

I currently own Buckingham . . . but I prefer the more expensive aluminum climbers like Bashlin. Steve

I went to take down a dead elm for a friend a week ago and here's what happened. He said tree has been dead a year and a half. It is close to the house and must be climbed. When I look at it the bark is peeling off bad and the base of the tree is rotting. It is about 14" at base and 70...

It sounds like a tremendous amount of work to me! I have never had anyone say something like that (to my face anyway :eek: ). However, when I feel like they might say something about production I always bring up the "safety" factor. "We'll Sir, we work consistently, but cannot get into a...

Not really an off season here in Mid GA but work slows especially in Dec and Jan. We have only a 3 man crew so it doesn''t take much to keep us busy.

I also ride the ball on the crane. I would ride the basket but to obtrusive around limbs most of the time . . . plus I am used to riding the ball. It looks like I am doing it the legal way by those ANSI standards too. Stay safe! Steve P.S. We have started using cranes on many...

I am going to order one of those steel core fliplines this week. How many of you use them and what advice do you have for the subject of fliplines?

I have a 33" waist and I wear a size small Weaver saddle I bought from Sherrill. It really needs to fit right or you won't be comfortable from the start. By the way, the guys at Sherrill are very, very knowlegeable. When you call the 800 number you will get someone who really knows whats...

FUNNY TREEMAN14!

Maybe once every couple of years I see a license check but never anything else here in GA. Sometimes OSHA regulation men come sniffing around ( in Atlanta) but we meet or exceed their specs. I often see many tree workers practicing some extremely dangerous techniques but what do you do? I...
