Bought mine a couple years ago and smashed it with a log, texted Greg to see if he could have it fixed and I drove over and he fixed it the same day, he’s a great guy full of knowledge, glad I got to meet him
It's awesome hearing directly from the designer on why something is designed a certain way. I completely understand his frustrations. I am constantly explaining how & why I designed an item to coworkers or customers. I bet his sales go through the roof now.
This is one of your best videos, it is so awesome too see the innovative thought process of tree guys building products to make our jobs safer and more efficient.
Hello! I'm number 5,609 and what few times I have used this device I have been incredibly impressed. Finally got one after about 6 years in the industry and have recently purchased the drill bit attachment for the Harken winch. Can't wait to see what it can do for me and our small crew.
How cool to meet someone who made and designed a tool you use on the job. I've always wished i could come up with something to make a job easier, maybe one day...anyhow, thanks for sharing! Very inspiring!
I haven't had a chance to use one yet. Our company has one, but they are scared to let it go out. We use a block on the base large port a wrap on the mini to achieve lift. Thanks for the knowledge. I won't be a total noob when we get a chance to use one.
I’ve always wanted to add one of these to the arsenal! I did some quick math based on his numbers and he has made some good $$ out of that little shop. Super well made product and worth every penny I would imagine 👍
There’s not a big margin but it works nice in his operation to keep as much in house as possible. It’s been a great product for the industry. We include the driver bit for the drill at game of trees. We use a GRCS multiple times per week.
Super interesting video! I love the in tree action footage but this might be your best video yet. That guy oozes intelligence, has a college professor vibe about him...super cool he's been a tree guy for so long. Thanks Jacob! 🤙🌲
that is wonderful getting all the information from the builder him self! especially since he is a tree person and knows exactly what is needed, that story about the “bent teeth” that was scary with the “darwin candidate “ that used a long cheater bar! “ that he thought was OK They are dangerous individuals! you do not know who they will take with them. great video, great learning too.
These are the kinds of videos making me wanting it more and more, but also making me aware I can't afford it yet :P I'm dreaming of buying it one day. Pls keep up the good work until then.
You can always attach a pulley with a prusil to the rigging line going up the tree from the porta wrap to get a mechanical advantage to lift up limbs. You can only lift up limbs that your string enough to lift. You can also use a massdam rope puller the same way.
Any discount for the GRCS? I can't tell you how much help this would be for yanking out deep rooted shrubs in an individuals backyard where you can't just use a truck to pull the shrubs out (no path for the rope to the road).
Great things they are but you can just buy a sail winch for how ever much it costs in whatever size you want as long as the drums surface is smooth for rigging,then build the rest for about $100 if you can weld properly,if you can’t weld then ye your only option is to spend big bucks on one of these
It's awesome that he knows where serial # 1 is and who bought it. I work in a small shop and it's night and day difference compared to how Greg runs his business. Doing multiple runs of QC throughout assembly, actually serializing products; not super noteworthy for most, just the little things that make top notch customer satisfaction. I'm also surprised, but not, that he lost that lawsuit. I'm with him on designing things for people that have a brain and don't need to put warning labels on everything just to cover one's ass.
Hey Jacob how you doing I've wanted one of these things for so long I remember when they were $2,500 I believe I just looked it up on Bishop company online it says they have them for $899.99 can you please tell me if that's the same one as this and that is true they're that much now just $900
@@kevinhammatgameoftrees7080 yeah I thought so I was looking at the wrong thing I was excited when I seen 899 LOL but I didn't think that was true that thing's amazing
Dude would love to meet you someday your living my dream. I'm from Wisconsin I'm a climber and would love to meet you someday...how do you like the wisconsin arbor culture. We have a good thing going out here. Keep the videos coming. Love the wisconsin content
Cool video, I wanted to know "how long you sticking around" at the end but the video ended. I'm gonna try to guess your answer to that question... Dark roast Treeson coffee! It's delicious!
That should all things be built, last long and repairable. It might cost more but gain it's return over time. Disposables use more of the limited resources and create trash.
Never mind buddy sorry I clicked on truck mount or something and that was $8.99 I see now it's 3,000 something that's my dream mechanism to have man one day
That claim was def bull shit Almost as dumb as people that think if someone shoots a person you should sue the gun manufacturer hahaha the world we live in today. People was something for nothing Now with social media it’s even worse kids don’t want to work at all

I really like these "behind the scenes" videos.
These arborist how it's made videos are great. Thanks Jacob!
I've had mine for many years. Can't live without it. I also got to use Greg's old bucket with his hydraulic capstan on it before too!

Great video, Jacob. Nice to see good ole American ingenuity!!!
Favorite video ..great information and last of the old timers. Incredible..Kevin what humble stuff .brother..liertal fly on the wall glued ..thanks
Thanks Jake.. and yous guyz...that was awesome.
Jacob! Youre walking amongst LEGENDS! Good for you!
Thank you 🙏
These videos keep getting better. This guy is an absolute wealth of knowledge!
After owning 2 and using since 2000 man this was such a awesome video ❤😊

Tell them to let it out, that mini can drag brush as one guy manages the GRCS:)
@@kevinhammatgameoftrees7080 I'm trying Kevin. We are the "extreme" rigging crew...😆
Gregg really knows his stuff! Great video Jacob!
Loved the video! Great stuff to talk with the inventor and get the real reason for what seems to be an indispensable tool.
I’ve used my Hobbs devices for 30 years I got one of these couple of months ago absolutely love it
Hobbs or grcs? I have a hobbs and love the thing, but I couldn't find anyone that had both
@@batmantiss I have two Hobbs Lowering devices got him new from my good Friend Donald Blair

This is epic. How cool to see the man behind the curtain. I've heard nothing but good things regarding this product and the integrity behind it.
I am a retired mechanical engineer and this a well designed product. I have now seen it in action. It is genious.
what an amazing guy/inventor i love his storys of the journey of building this
that is wonderful getting all the information from the builder him self! especially since he is a tree
person and knows exactly what is needed, that story about the “bent teeth” that was scary with the
“darwin candidate “ that used a long cheater bar! “ that he thought was OK They are dangerous
individuals! you do not know who they will take with them. great video, great learning too.
I'm not a tree guy and I loved hearing the GRCS story.
Greg looks like someone who has many interesting stories.
That was great... I love good story telling! Nice job, learning to listen
This was a great video !!!!!!! Keep it going Jake!!!!
Such a cool device. So neat your able to show us this.
Graig is a great man and I hope his health has improved greatly 🙏
Love it brother. Keep em coming. 💯 ✌
Awesome video, thanks for sharing.
He has this uncle vibe where you want to sit on the porch all day long and just listen to the stories! :)
I wish I had the money to buy one of those them things look amazing that guy who designed that what a wonderful mind
The GRCS is a awesome invention.
Very Cool... Nice to see the face of the person who invented such a great tool... Great video!... Keep up the good work..
I watch a number of sailing channels and thought the winches looked like they came off a sail boat.
Love this video very much. The olg guy is wise👏👏👏great job
Can’t wait to see that video on that Clone saw
This is proof quality products can be made in America and don't have to cost an arm and a leg. 🙂🙂
These are the kinds of videos making me wanting it more and more, but also making me aware I can't afford it yet :P
I'm dreaming of buying it one day. Pls keep up the good work until then.
You can always attach a pulley with a prusil to the rigging line going up the tree from the porta wrap to get a mechanical advantage to lift up limbs. You can only lift up limbs that your string enough to lift. You can also use a massdam rope puller the same way.
It won’t cost you, it will make you money. You will say, how did I do it before
Instead of a cool new saw or spikes, safe for something like this! It also makes you attractive as a contract climber too.
Fabulous video sappy
Any discount for the GRCS? I can't tell you how much help this would be for yanking out deep rooted shrubs in an individuals backyard where you can't just use a truck to pull the shrubs out (no path for the rope to the road).
There’s not much margin, but we include the drill bit
For that you can use a two ton rope pull
love it, just got mine in the mail.
Ahh, that's how the visor plate goes on. thanks for sharing!
This was AWESOME.
I have one of his firsts from 2000 I'm gonna check the # .have a second one I bought in 2012

Hi Jacob
If i buy a normal Harken 46 winch u think will be ok to use for tree work?
Good vid Jacob.
Is this in Wisconsin also? Whereabouts?
Cool video 👍
HI love the content! Could you do a review on the CT Roll n Lock

It wouldn’t be the same one. Around 3k now.

I’ll do 4 Hawaii videos. Probably 2 or 3 weeks away I have a few more Wisconsin videos to edit
Yessssss

Our #4 is still in use after 22 years
Nice.😆 😆.💪
COOL.
I’m a huge fan, unfortunately our grcs is not working and need to get it repaired somehow! Anyways love the vid!
It sounds like that guy is the one you need to contact to get your grcs fixed
Send it in, Greg will fix it.
He looks like Robin Williams.
As they saying goes "can't fix stupid".
What’s a GRCS?
a winch the arborist use to give them mechanical advantage when rigging lines on a tree
Good Rigging Control System GRCS
I did the math if those are $3,000 a piece let's just say * 6,000 sold that's 18 million if I did that right that is unbelievable
It’s quite costly to make. Definitely not a big margin, but we’ll worth the cost.
@@kevinhammatgameoftrees7080 yeah it's a beautiful contraption I will definitely buy one one day
The Harken winch ( sailing version) is £522.00. In the Uk.
@@andyphillips7435 how much is that in American money buddy
My company owns number 915!
does he know that drill is not an impact gun
Got me
8 people were offended by the China joke.
make a how too video so they have the knowledge too do it right
