Hello

A number of years ago we bought a wood Baldwin orchard ladder at a regional growers’ supply place.  We got the 2 leg style that comes to a point, and it works well.  I am thinking of buying or making a 3 leg one for those times when it would be helpful.

I think that we got a 12 foot ladder, and sometimes I wish it was a 14 footer, but extra height has its disadvantages, too.

I was wondering if any of you had ladders for use in the orchard in and around fruit trees for picking, thinning, etc. that you would recommend.  A specific brand or even just a type of ladder that you prefer and why.

Thanks in advance.
