Older storm damage at a recently purchased property for a handful of camps we’ve been working for this year.

Just a nice quick spider/grcs job… with a little help from the giant pulling the log off of the laurel underneath it. Definitely nice to have the right tools.

Obviously the Feds got that cantankerous old fella & the hairy kid because they’ve gone suspiciously quiet.

I looked at some posts by dave from 10-11 years ago and he was quite pleasant and wasn’t bashing anybody on their advancement. I wonder what happened

More & more would like a pet spider.

For awkward things like this....

But 90ft will be lucky to get to the first piece of deadwood on these young karri closing in on 200ft.

Yeah, well you know how I feel about your the 200’ trees. Better you than me. Lol.

My lift pretty much dominates most of the trees we encounter on a daily basis here. Not sure it’d be worth it in your situation?

I don’t think the Worlds Greatest Treeman is enjoying getting older (despite the push-ups and racquetball). I’m not a big fan of it myself, so I can certainly relate.

Could find uses for a good 30m spider with lots of outreach (could have used it for four trees today, all climbed, all on the slightly thought provoking side of things), however can also find many good uses for the 100-200K that obtaining one involves.

Quite a lot of competent climbers in my region, not many competent climbers that are well equipped though. Working to fill that gap.

Another mob recently acquired a mid size Spidey, first one have seen in the region. They don't have any climbers though & from what I've seen, the trees are much safer if the lift is left on the trailer. And they still contract out the stuff they can't reach with bucket or Spidey.

This morning, the 310 and I enjoyed each other's company for a bit. I always enjoy running that saw, but it seems that each year that passes it gets a mite heavier. I have lighter saws, but for what I was doing this morning, I needed the bigger saw. The 372XP is almost too much for me now, but my son likes it. Wes
