once used Wraptor

[PCTREE]

I have a customer who purchased a Wraptor about 6 months ago as his health was declining so figured it would keep him working longer. He just called me and says he only used it once at his house to test it and due to failing health has had to quit the tree business. Any body interested???

Apparently he doesn't have internet so I said I would post for him

I would imagine $2300 would make him happy

Bummer.

Boy, do I need one. Timing.

Very tempting, I've been wanting to get one for Dad.

Go for it, Adrian. I wish I had a son looking out for me!

If only we would have had a Wraptor in the 70's

 

[woodworkingboy]

Adrian, take the advice of older people, purchase it!

With the Waptor Greg Liu averages 6 trees a day now rather that 3. 120 plus foot Pondo's total deadwood. Raptor has done him good, he says.

 

[PCTREE]

not to blow my own horn but Gregg was one of the first to buy one. So what, 5 or 6 years later and still running strong..... Haven't had one to date die......

 

[gf beranek]

It's a wonderful thing that you did, Paul. Thanks from everybody in the industry. Only wish I would have had one a few years earlier. But that's life.

 

[rangerdanger]

I'll think about it. I just bought Dad his new harness though, so I'll have to see.

Now that is the everlasting truth, word from one of the old climbers .

Yessir, in spades.

I have to footlock up to several lateral stems of a big cottonwood tomorrow......after just getting off an awfully long off season I'll have to pack a lunch and take coffee breaks during those long ascents
Wraptor will definitely be in the tool kitty very soon.

If I could afford a second.. I would have two.. Just sayin..

Unless you have ridden one, y'all cannot truly imagine the way a Wraptor can raise your production, and even more, the way you'll feel at the end of the day.

Here's a factor not mentioned near enough, imltho...it could be that the greatest benefit a Wraptor brings to your table may be the increased margin of safety you experience in the latter portion of the day. We all know about fatigue and it's attendant hazards for accidents. With a Wraptor's reduction in effort through the day, I firmly believe that a climber using a powered ascender operates safer those last few hours every day.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Absolutely. Much safer with less tiring.
Much more productive.. ESPECIALLY if you have more than a couple ropes to set ahead of yourself.

I look forward to owning a Wraptor, but at 56 I feel good that I can still do a 50 foot footlock on double rope with a Blakes.
Yes there's a double ring friction saver way up there, installed from the ground.........just like hand filing sawchain, some old school skills you never want to lose.
Now it's time I keep the footlocking in check with the low climbs and leave the tall ones to the Wraptor.
