Hope no one minds another old Homelite gear drive post. Had to share this one. I’ve had this Homelite 775 G sitting in a box of parts for about three years, along with a clearing bow bar. I kept seeing photos online of old Homelites running bow bars, and every time I saw one, I wanted to get...

Hope everyone enjoys their holidays, no matter your system of belief, and here’s to a more sane New Year!!

The best of natural crotch rigging were the days of Manila triple twist - we lowered a lot of tops on our 5/8” and 1 1/4” at speed with minimal burning/glazing. Of course that was 45 years ago, pre-synthetics. Manila for the winna

So I have 2 climbing saws 1 35cc that I run 3/8lp on and a 25cc that I’ve been running the Oregon .325 nano chain or the Husky equivalent. Only thing about the nano is I hate the huge safety rakers it has, I’m ocd with hitting my depth gauges and those safety rakers make a simple task a pain in...

@SeanKroll , my barn for the equipment, roof and one wall to block the summer afternoon sun. Next year I'll probably add the other lean to and maybe enclose the middle for a work space, although I may build a separate structure for the shop. The only unique thing is a felt like material on the...

Out of the box feel/hand I have to give the nod to Samson. I’m working my way through a reel of Maple leaf 1/2” and it feels slick and plasticy off the reel. But when it breaks in it’s nice, good wear resistance. Milks a bit more but nothing excessive.

Your shop, Carl, or a job?

I have a lot of Samson stable braid. Maple leaf ropes has good deals. A 3-strand hard lay Sampson tree-master if using a Maasdsm rope puller. I like the grip and friction of Treemaster for natural crotch self-lowering without a lowering device. Needs breaking in. Many don't...

for sure, i use old climbing rope. still strong but sappy or stiff so not good in devices but the crotch doesnt care

Oh my gosh, that is so pretty!

Absolutely! But I’d rather burn my 75’ ArborPlex than my 200’ Stable Braid!

expensive ropes also natural crotch quite well ;)

@lumberjack 943 I think

I prefer Stablebraid.

What model tele? I want to look up the specs on it. I got to use my forks a couple weeks ago. Eating a lil breakfast while running the tele by remote😂

My first climb line and rigging line were Arbor plex. Quickly got a 16 strand. Never had another AP.

Hahahaha

When you’re going to run it natural crotch and burn it up anyway, why NOT use ArborPlex? I’m perfectly satisfied with it. Been using it for 35-ish years now. I use 1/2” for up to 500#-600# stuff, and 5/8” when it gets bigger. I have a 75’ hank that I keep hanging on my side when it’s not in use...

I was gonna try to put my feet up like @treebilly 😁
