Why I love using ladders for tree work

[Timbermcpherson]

The best ladder I have ever come across is the scorpro systems.

 

Its got an adjustable foot and can be put on nearly any ground

its got curved rungs and 3 uprights, which makes it much more comfortable under foot and very strong 

because its curved, it fits against tree trunks, poles etc very well

 

Nothing else comes close  

 

ours with the tripod fitted

Not used a set of ladders in over a decade so don’t see their relevance.

what has been a game changer is tripods, we have a range of these now for pruning and hedge cutting.

Not a fan of the tripod ladders myself.  They certainly make for a stable platform but they are more of a pain to transport and not as versatile.  Would rather a 3 stage ladder that opens into an a frame

Same here 1 ladder do's every job, no going to get steps just transform them to steps then back to ladder. A lot more reach then any tripod set.

I brick myself at the top of twelves!

 

hust goes to show the variation in opinion and approach. I for one would never have them in our yard.

without tripod (how we usually use it)

I’d struggle on this one without a decent set.

Lovely work kev.  You could of throwlined it though surely?

[Mark Bolam]
