So I have a job coming up that is at a property next to a long time retired tree man and my mentor. Long story short is that it's a live red oak 48"DBH and 95-110' tall forest tree first crotch is about 60' and a small hollow in the base, maybe 20% hollow. He and I were discussing a plan and he...
So as some of you know I got the AT6 pole and I don’t care how the saw head attaches to the poles. Easy fix I used a Jameson socket that easily slipped over the end of the poles after a little de-burring.
Good to go with other attachments. But doing this mod you loose the ability to use the...
So here’s the skinny my mom has two grape vines that are 40 years old and two things 1. They have never been properly pruned. And 2. The trellis supporting them is failing.
I’m wondering how heavy handed can I get with them without killing them? Can they be cut back to the stump and will they...
I need to find these tags that generally go on buildings to see if they are listing/tilting. They are two independent cards with a bubble level and cross hairs that you glue on the side of a building. I have a tree that I feel is going over but the custy thinks it’s fine and I need to show them...
I am shopping around for a different source of chipper knives and stumbled across American Cutting Edge, Industrial Blades and Knives. So has anybody bought from them? Vermeer bc1500 $61.59 per knife isn't bad IMO
So the past week we've been taking apart three large silver maples. While I was making cuts I had to "put a little English" on the cuts i.e. pulling the undercut to one side or the other sometimes incorporating a tapered hinge to get the limbs to swing in the clear.
I am not sure if this is...
So I’ve been putting the mini back together and have an issue with one of the final drives not going forward only reverse. The other side is fine and normal. Pump is pushing at the pump and to the motor. Any suggestions?
So about three weeks ago I had a Norway maple split on me. It was a small tree barely ten inches at the dirt modest lean but nothing extreme. Easy enough to cut and let fly half of the tree and the rest needed some rigging. Once I got it limbed up and took the top out with rigging in another...
Howdy, so the title says it all for the most part. What do all y’all like for cut stump treatments?
In general we will just tear out the offending vegetation and haven’t used any chemicals in a long time but have a job that we can’t do that. For what ever reason is beyond my understanding of...
Who has done it? How much land do you need per head? Rough annual cost? Feed volume? Vet bills?
My wife and I are toying around with the idea of raising one or two and having them processed for the freezer and sale. I have about four acres to play with.
Thanks for any input.
Howdy, what is the formula used to determine critical root zone set back? It seems this year is turning out to be the “year of the lot clearing” and I have several big stately oaks and walnuts that are questionable and the customer would like to retain them if possible.
So I was day dreaming today while deadwooding some oak trees and rigging down the wood with ISC 1/2” blocks. I remembered conversation about these blocks and how though they are and I thought of the question: How often do you retire rigging hardware? Ropes and slings get replaced regularly but...
So I placed an order with them for a comm unit before my big crane gig two weeks ago. The transaction was smooth as glass and they were very polite and professional. They even took the time to walk me through pairing all my comms.
It was a great experience actually talking to a tree gear...
Just putting it out there. Not really interested in selling but I had a guy offer me $1100.00 more than I paid for it 10 years ago. Believe me it is tempting.
