Any one using a unicender?

[Greg Cook]

I'm thinking about getting one of these,

has any one in arboristsite land tried one?

Looks interesting.......what is the cost???

 

[Recon Freak]

the price in the FAQ section was $450. Life expectancy is years before a rebuild. A rebuild is $70.

I wonder why they dont make the wear surfaces out of steel, or the whole thing for that matter.

review over at STORRICK's site:

probably NOT made out of steel due to the weight issues.

I've used all three generations of the Unicender. The current version which is on the website is a dream to use!

The wear faces are nice and smooth so the rope runs nicely.

I could post a link to the website where I have a review and pictures posted but the Darin would banish me. If you aren't sure which website to check just email me directly and I'll point you in the right direction.

Here's a link to the Unicender review

According to the Arboristsite rules and regs it is "legal" to post links to other "green industry" web sites if it is a direct link (not to the home page) to a related/relevant subject.
