    Ropetek Wraptor...your experiences, value

    I did a big fir the other day. God Bless the Wraptor. That's different than the rapture, for sure. After topping it. I thought, I could let the top handle, and pull up the bigger saw...nah, go take a break and ride up with the saw. If it had a raise and lower mode, it would be wicked. I spent...

    You're in a more open canopy in ponderosa pines, to an extent. Western red cedar are the worst conifers here, except maybe for monkey puzzles. It will all develop in time. Just trying to use others' experience and problem solving skills, too, and generate some good discussion, hopefully.

    I want thinking this through. There is an effective 'tag line' on the bottom of the wraptor. On the maiden voyage, my only solo wraptor use, I hasn't thought that through, up top, when I unhooked it and hung it on my saddle. That was an inspection ascent where I had to climb 15' above the...

    I can see that being very effective with a clear path down. In a conifer, I would think it would get beat up in a number of situations. I considered it on the maiden voyage of my Wraptor, but it was a plumb trunk with branches and stubs. Tree dependent.

    I wasn't getting all the distance I could have from my speed line had I been having the SL cleared, but it works well to get clear of the under plantings, rock wall, and some dragging distance to the chipper. Saved my shoulders cutting and throwing, too. My first limb almost made it to the...

    Been trying to make myself an independent solo operator as much as possible. I don't want to be stuck if/when I have an employee sick/injured etc. I'll be interested to hear how people use their wraptor, and efficiently get it down and working. Most just lower to a groundie to unhook and...

    Hangers/ widowmakers, lots of climbing for one or two or three big hangers, now lots of riding. The new way of spurless maintenance. I have several large hangers to bid this morning at my consult. This will not only increase production, but heat challenge during our short bits of hot, hot...

    Long time coming... Way too long. Who's happier, me for a wraptor, or D to have our picture taken together, watching herself on the screen of my phone?

    Add 150' to another rope. I thought about 200'.

    Ropetek Wraptor . com From what I didn't find in the Advanced Search option, it seems like there is no dedicated, open forum thread to the Wraptor. Correct me if I'm wrong, please, and give a link. I saw the Treesmith's Wraptor Box thread, Hobby Climber's BC thread, the Once Used Wraptor...
