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...

Lower feed motor quit on the job yesterday. Getting 2250 psi to the bad motor. Does anyone have a source for these motors? Painfully slow progress through Altec.. Also I am looking for a mechanics manual for this chipper; not the owners manual but a real shop manual if they made one...

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...

My new rig's been kickin ass! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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

We are looking at a 2006 Kubota L2800 4x4 diesel, 30 Horsepower, gear drive w/ sync shuttle, bucket, ag tires, only 417 hours. Primary use is for our small farm, some rough/wet terrain but not too steep - Lots of brush hogging, tilling, snow removal, and some light loader chores. Secondary use...

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...

Maybe this is just one of those things that either really works or really doesn't.... I had high hopes for this thing, got it figuring the convenience/not fogging up like glasses would be worth looking like a power ranger. I still have a headache just from trying it on. Sure am glad I didn't...

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!

My chip truck has an electric over hydraulic dump and I am trying to change the hyd oil but the reservoir has no drain plug. Just wondering the correct way to go about this.... Obviously I would not get 100% of the old fluid out considering I need the body up to access the reservoir...

Everything is currently working fine, but my upper feed roller has developed a gap on one side of it. Just wondering what is happening. Thanks.

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...
