Just remember rope is a consumable and should be replace regularly. I’m not saying that line is burned up, far from it. I often get the impression a lot of tree peeps keep their lines forever. After 10 trees and say $20grand in gross revenue a $150 line can be replaced often.

It’s only a few thousand miles. Lol

Welcome!

Doood! I’m telling ya she and D would make amazing puppies! 🐶

I don’t think I have ever seen a whitewashed tree here, ever. I have seen sunscald on trees that have had heavy canopy work or storm damage, mostly young ornamental trees.

Up the rope when I climb but if the tree allows climb the tree. Last tree I climbed was a crabapple to about 8’ tied in a nice comfy perch and could reach the whole canopy with a 12’ Silky.

Boxelder is just a shit tree, I think I’ve seen two that are nice in my life thus far.

Canopy raised and thinned five smallish/medium silvers and back Wednesday to butcher four large boxelder trees. Heavy lean towards the house, not in the best of shape, should be removed but they are park trees leaning over the lot line so cut back to the lot line and let them bush out.

Flippy caps get a flippy finger from me.

Good looking doggy!

Where y’@?

Clean those cuts.

I did 12 hours today and didn’t even touch a saw. Two estimates this morning, repairs at the shop (broken 1/2” tap, fml swearing lots of swearing) phone calls, invoices, hardware store run X2, picked up kids at school, made dinner, off for three more emergency calls after freak wind event, and...

Short stumps are the Bain of track machines. Most of the time if I’m working an area and there are small 2” diameter or about stumps I’ll pull them out with the grapple. Another tip is to use a clearing saw and cut the small stuff at dirt level.

BMG Scoops are the best way to clean up stump grindings. IMO

Spruce tippy top, this was part of the job, the other part was cutting back two walnuts over the roof and removing a small dead ash plus a privit hedge removal.
