    036 problems

    I started noticing that in long cuts my 036 would stop four stroking. Sure enough it sounds good out of wood for 3 or 4 seconds then leans right out. I put a carb kit and fuel line in it. Then ran it to see if that took care of it, now it's doing the same thing but if you let it shut off its...

    Buying a 2001 Vermeer 1230A

    Just bought a new truck 2005 dodge 3500, didn't think I'd be buying my first chipper so soon. But a privately owned small guest ranch is selling their 1230A with 1,015 hours on it, machine looks fabulous. All maintenance records are available. They are asking 10k, if I don't pick it up tomorrow...

    Unicender & Rope Wrench

    So I ordered in the CE climb kit from tree stuff which consists of the hitch climber and I got the 200' of tachyon option. So for that I bought rope wrench. Well everything else came in but the ce climb kit. I was going to use it for the steep slippery job, anchoring to another tree so I could...

    Stihl 880 mods

    So I ran into some huge cottonwoods that are going to be an ongoing project. One base I cut this week was well over 6' across. I ran a 36" bar on the 441 and had to dice it up a couple times... Anyway as I have a lot more of these to do around a high end property I ordered an 880, from my...

    New Climbing Boots?

    I have a set of Red Dawg's that provide good ankle support, but also pinch my ankle where it bends on the frontside. My father was a lineman for 23 years and keep steeling me to go with Whites. I feel the traditional climbing boots are unnecessary in today's rope climbing environment. I've...

    What's the best type of payment you've ever received for climbing?

    If like to hear some of the ways you guys have been compensated for your work other than money. Mine was today. I met a Vietnam vet at the post office, he found out I do tree work. So I went over and gave him a bid on a very light pruning of an elder tree and dead wooding a silver maple. It was...

    Parts for t540xp?

    Can't really find a good place to order a new handle for my t540. Saw only has 5 or 6 tanks in it. Cut a 3 to 4 inch limb on an elder tree today. As it fell it glanced off the handle and broke it. Good thing the 201 was in the truck box.

    Ultimate piece of gear

    Ordered the GRCS!!! The money came a little sooner than expected due to the flood of work but I can't wait to get it. Treestuff has been super fast and good to work with, hopefully it gets here before the end of next weekend! But a lot of medium to small jobs have come up that I can do on my own...

    Climber worth???

    As I just stated in my other thread I have just contracted out to climb for another tree service that is taking care of the electrical companies tree work. I will be running my own crew that they provide. I will be using all my own gear, ropes and saws. What do you guys normally get that do this...

    Another Newb question. Line weighting?

    Sorry if I'm getting old asking dumb questions about your preferences on gear and what not. But I have a question regarding weighting the line on an SRT set up so that my unicenders hooked up to a neck tether will continue to self feed. I've been having my fiancé hold the rope until I make the...

    Which New Saddle

    Bought most everything I need to start SRT but my old weaver D ring saddle suits a flip line much better than being tied to a line. I'll be sterile before the end of this season if I don't get a new saddle. Looking at the obvious ones... Tee emotion, edge, sequoia. I'm a stout guy, 240lbs with...

    New to rope climbing gear suggestions?

    Hey guys! Name is TJ. Been climbing spurs for a while but as progressing my climbing and growing needs for business, I need to start building my roping equipment. I think I'm going to go with a tree motion saddle but past that I'm up in the air on everything else. Any help? Most of the work...
