    Our full pension is 62, i cry just thinking about it. I'm hoping I'll be able to convince some apprentices to roll me around in an office chair or something, like I'm the respected elder who's there to point vaguely at random things with a stick rule and mumble incoherently :lol:

    If we're counting stuff like arches and arbor trolleys I'm close to 100 :lol:. I'm over 50 mounted on vehicles, probably closer to 60.

    I've used when working alone pulling the tree (especially with a slower pulling device), or when there's no good escape route so you can leave the stump and then trigger it with the pull, say against a fence or something. Usually on stuff that the lean is hard to judge, it can buy you time to...

    I didn't think about the angle that's a good point. Thx man, obviously not gonna replace one but i was curious about the differences, also don't have trees here that would even require one, especially ones i would get involved with.

    Honestly i had a harbor freight one too, worked fine till i left it outside so long it rusted up a bit. I loaned my other one out (got it at tsc or farm king i think, can't remember but it was in a different state for pipeline) so i was thinking of pulling it apart and cleaning it up again til i...

    As far as jacks go, what would be wrong with using a bottle jack? I have a shorty 20 ton that i maybe got for $100, it'll flat out move some stuff. Wood crushing would be the limiting factor, but a piece of plate on top and bottom really helps with that. We (fitters) have used them a bunch for...

    Really? I've never had problems with their stitching. Bad batch maybe? Take em back and bitch, they'll give you new.

    Obviously I'm rocking gloves working as a fitter, and I've kinda found the ones i prefer so that's what i run for tree work too. Leather drivers are awesome work gloves, once broken in you can feel as well as if you were bare handed. Some guys even smear them with oil as needed to make them...

    I never wear mine either. I tried a rubber one for awhile right after i got married, but they were just annoying so i stopped. No need to stack the deck towards an injury.

    That's not a Georgia thing, that's a pulling out small vegetation with a hoe :D. That's how I've seen land clearance being done, couple scoups to rip the tension side of the roots, then stick a tooth in and shove. Occasionally they will drop some with a saw, but usually just use the machine to...
