Have you tried asking the gearheads over at the buzz yet? I probably wouldn't worry too much about it. It will wear your first few ropes pretty hard but the edge will wear off in time.
whadja do today?

Yes, I can see that now and just read the thing is rated for 13mm and the guy with the problem never thinks he has one.
Me? I know I got problems, I just don't care.Some of the stuff they are dangling before our eyes seems a little on the far-fetched side. Like the ART adjustable friction saver. For 300 bucks it seems the rope isn't much more than a wet noodle and by the time you get done yanking it out of the tree from the ground there won't be much left of the rest of its integrated parts... some are even plastic!
The also make some kind of over engineered anchor for SRT.
It also seems the life span of the ZZ would be relatively short.

I think your wrong about that. I have a stainless steel rappel rack that i have had for about 10 years, i used to use it alot, and it shows no wear. The bars are made out of alot thinner pieces of stainless steel.

I'd like to see your rack, never saw one before. Is the ZZ stainless? I though it was ally. Speaking of ally: those rigging blocks and plates give me the heeby-jebbies. I can't see rigging tree parts off of those.
As Blakes said: the rope will wear the grooves out. Plus the fact that all those moving parts will do what moving parts do which is to encounter problems.
I tell you what: When you come down for this maple tree I will give it a try! Sound fair?

Happy Easter. Definitely enjoying the day off with my kids, my 2 girls and little boy. Its my oldest son's 16th birthday as well. I haven't seen him in about 3 years but I hope he gets out from underneath his mama's thumb one of these days.
Bought him a pair of 9" Made in USA Carolina loggers. Darn kid is in a sz 12. He may not talk to me yet but I'm betting he wears the boots proudly and tells his buddy's where they came from.

I have the same thing and taking antibiotics too. This is day three with over a 100 temp, I cant remember ever having a temp this long. Im trying to eat and drink but its hard to get it down, I have lost 7lbs.
I have had one before, my doctor said to ejaculate more often. I told the doc I didnt think that was the problem.

No, that's not the problem. I've had trouble with prostate infections since I was in my thirties. I'm 52 now.
Started a job yesterday I looked at last summer.
I kinda remember it was supposed to be around 35 Scotch pines, (removals) but after working all day I still have about 35 to go! :bang:
Throttle cable busted on miniskid, and no joy trying to fix it, and then towards the end of the day, after junior had buggered off, I got careless so I got to use my capstan winch......

How the heck did you flip that on its side?
It surprised the heck outta me, Jared. Pretty level ground.
Was moving pine tree (crosswise in bucket), and the tip of the tree caught against another standing tree at the same time the track on the high side went over a low stump. And bingo.
But I got to make the 300 yard dash in both directions fetching the winch, and it pulled it back upright no problem at all.

What dingo is that? Do you like it? Im looking at a 2006 425 this week. 1200hrs asking 7500US bucks. Never used a mini before, just bobcat sit in machines.

It didn't look like a dingo on my phone. More like a ditch witch.
I have a 2002 dingo tx425 wide track. I love that thing.
Glad i bought it, saves me lots of time.
