APTA: Air Powered Tree Access - TreeStuff Product Profile

[@OATMEALCMC]

Used to make these to launch potatoes back in the day. We used hairspray and a grill igniter instead of compressed air though. It was the late 80's and hairspray was quite prevalent in those big hair days. Now we have a more practical use for them.

I hear people say they launched potatoes all the time so i just wanted to know what is the purpose of launching a potato? What purpose does it serve. I can see people launcer projectiles for antenna purposes but why are people so into launching potatoes. What purpose does it serve?

@@BlackHamRadioUniversity childish fun. Shenanigans and such.

Just launched a 10lb bag on a river trip last week. Aquanet is still available. Too much fun.

Iv had the APTA for a couple of years now and love it. I now have a Craftsman battery powered air compressor that has a digital screen and you just preset desired PSI up to 160 PSI and it will automatically shut off when it gets there. Super compact and convenient. I would like to know if you guys are ever going to make a bigger one. Definitely looking for something that can send a line 3 x what the APTA can.

How far will your APTA shoot?

[@speedlinetreeremoval6220]

@@patmcfarland9880 with 160 PSI it will go around 160 feet straight up. It matches the psi pretty much??? 100 psi 100 feet . Straight up. so sometimes you get a better with an arch just depends on the situation.

Can you give me the name and model number of the air pupm that you are using in this video? Thanks

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Its a Lezyne Floor Drive.

When I shoot mine into the tree the weight will not come down because it gets caught in the tree limbs. Sometimes it goes perfectly over a tree branch but the weight still will not come down.

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

try a 14 oz weight, or a lighter line.

Does tree stuff have an app for mobile phones or just the internet site

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Just our sweet website.

[@mikeramsey9747]

Seriously neat looking but you can build this for under $60 so really your price is way over the top.

[@searchmanager9372]

I made one from pvc pipe and 70 psi is way more than needed to send a 16 oz throw ball over 100 feet. Not sure why you would need 150 psi??

[@searchmanager9372]

PS cost under $40.00

[@user-ku2qb1pq7e]

Its definitely cheaper to DIY out of PVC compared to the aluminum.

[@pawel_woloszyn]

Best!!

[@dheller777]

Can make it for way less than $100.

[@seeharvester]

$360? C'mon man.

[@user-pl7ne3hl2o]

Soo pretty much a bait caster, potato gun

[@sam-ww1wk]

Not to be that guy, but at $350.....this is all Home Depot stuff even going with metal pipes and fittings, and a stop by Napa for the valve stem.... I made one from schedule 80 pvc a few years ago and use a Makita inflator. Easily launches well over 100' and maybe 30 bucks into it.
