I am potentially looking to upgrade my chip truck. I am looking for something that has been maintained, is relatively clean and not too rusty. Would like to find a crew cab F550 or F450 (7.3 diesel preferred) with L-packs and Southco (or similar) chip body, removable roof preferred. Located...

I am going to be cabling a co-dom Norway spruce where the leaders may be too close together to splice in the Branch Saver. Wondering if there are any tricks to install Branch Saver in this situation. The tree is not huge and the crotch is very included but not splitting. Would like to avoid...

I am looking for GIS mapping software that will let me take a detailed tree inventory. I want my clients to be able to see any recommendations for individual trees, as well as request that work be done on individual trees. I would like to find something that does not have a huge initial...

Will be removing what we can of this black plastic pot..... Who plants a tree in a plastic pot??? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

While I usually prefer fixed pricing on residential work, I am more tempted to go hourly on commercial work, especially on larger potentially open-ended projects. (But obviously if they want a fixed bid, I will give one). So, for hourly commercial work do you guys give them one hourly rate for...

I was wondering if there's an advantage to using a double fishermans for eye to eyes, lanyards, etc. I have always used a single fishermans to terminate my climb line if it doesn't have a spliced eye. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone used Homeadvisor.com and was it worth it during slow times? Is there a better service to find leads? Did you actually get any good leads, or just a waste of time and money? Thanks!

When I tell people that I'm an arborist they always ask if I have a chipper and/or insurance. I would not have gone into business without a chipper and insurance. The next question is do you have a bucket truck? No, but I'm a good climber. For whatever reason I seem to always lose points for...

Lets just say I am doing hazardous removals for a cheap ass company that has me in a sweet LRV 60/70 but will not buy me proper rigging slings. Refuse to bring in my personal rigging stuff. So, what's the strongest/fastest way to anchor a block with a short piece of bull rope? (no splicing)...

I'll start. Bid this one for removal last Halloween! The big one. They said someone would do it for half my price, but lo and behold the tree is still there!

It's still going on today, but we pretty much got the idea yesterday. Basically a really loud trip to the zoo. They had just about everything except a walking harvester. That whole tree chipper makes 1050HP at 2100 RPM. I wonder if I could get CEUs for attending? :D

I do try to avoid renting equipment for many reasons, but... Found a good deal on renting a tracked mini for a day or two, and thinking of trying this out. The rental place does not offer ANY insurance -- only a "damage waiver" for wear and tear, busted hose, etc. Have received what seem like...

Is there still a place to buy the pin online? THis is for the ZK-1 original Rope Wrench (not the ZK-2). THanks!

The International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) and The Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA) recently wrote a letter to the National Geographic Channel requesting the removal of their “Big Bad Wood” program, due to its “dangerous and unprofessional depiction of commercial tree care...

I am looking for loops of Stihl 33RMC, I used to get them locally at the same price as if I bought reels and spun my own. Let's just say I have relocated and the local dealer wants 2-3x more per loop.......... And yes I am permanently hooked on STIHL chain and files although I run mostly Husky...

Wasn't quite sure where to post this.. I am getting ready for my VT Pesticide Applicator exam... the highest level, plus 2 categories: Forest Pest Control and Ornamental and Shade Tree. So 3 exams... Has anyone taken a similar state exam, and was it easier or harder than the ISA Certified...

I'm finished with my web site for now... http://www.carrtree.com Would like to get some constructive criticism. I made it 100% from scratch and have been tweaking it for months. I know it's kind of wordy, but I don't mind narrowing down my incoming calls a bit...I'm not trying to attract...
