    TreeStuff.Com!!!

    Thanks Treestuff. I placed an order on 5/11 for some needed items for a job on Friday 5/15. One of the items was a 90 foot section of bull rope. Treestuff was out of the brand of bull rope I ordered, but they sent me a 90 foot section of bull rope by a different manufacturer that is...

    I get your point and understand the situation. A more comfortable, wearable hardhat will be on my next order. I have been reading the reviews on a new one over the past few weeks.

    What's the smallest diameter tree size that can be safetly worked?

    Easy guys. I am fully aware of the consequences of my actions and I am fully responsible for my own safety. I appreciate your concern. Maybe someday I'll be fully perfect. I am sure that no one else has taken there hard hat off because they got hot or had issues with there glasses fogging up...

    What's the smallest diameter tree size that can be safetly worked?

    Thanks you all for the great information and welcomes. An Orchard ladder would work great, but unfortunately I have to travel 4 hours south to the job from Northeast Florida where I live and fit all my gear in the back of my 1500 truck (and I don't have an orchard ladder yet!). Whats the...

    Hello You all. Wish I would have found this forum sooner, but o well, I guess now is a good time to start participating. I have to go do some trimming on some small diameter pine trees in Southwest Florida. I think they are slash pines. Does anyone have any experience on working with small...
