    Has anyone heard of or used the "Pine Cut"? I saw it today on Instagram and it looks interesting if it actually works. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Bid calculations

    There was a little discussion about bidding jobs that came about in the thread I posted about getting a loader. I've been meaning to start this thread since then but have been busy until now. When I bid jobs, I look at it and figure out how many hours it's going to take to complete the job and...

    Smart growth help

    We started our business in 2009 and have consistently grown year after year but we have reached a point where we can't get any more work done without working weekends. One of the big reasons for starting our business was to preserve family time for myself and my partner. We both have young kids...

    Whats the new intro gun?

    When I was growing up we learned to shoot with 22 cal rifles. Now 22 cal ammo is impossible to find so what are people teaching their kids with? My two oldest boys have been shooting their bb guns for a couple of years now and have been asking to try something bigger. I have a few hundred rounds...

    Tree U by Love Nick

    The finished product is finally out and I had a few minutes to watch a couple of videos. Great job Nick! You've got a real talent for explaining splicing techniques. Watching these videos makes me want to get back into splicing some more. If you have not purchased to videos from Treestuff, do it...

    Second notch on a stem

    Yesterday I was removing a stone dead Lombardi Poplar and didn't want to go too high. This meant that I had to take a pretty big top out..... No rigging, just bomb it out. I put a face cut into the stem in the direction that I thought would place the top in a good location. My partner was...

    Echo CS 500P

    Anyone use one? We are looking buying a new saw in the 50 cc range and the Echo has us thinking real hard. We bought a top handle 355 from them last year and have been very impressed. We have also been hearing good things about Echo in general recently...... but I still have a hard time buying...

    Canola and chain brake function

    So this started on Facebook but several members here were involved in the conversation. I figured I'd share my photos here because I'm less likely to be ripped apart there than in Facebook..... I have been using canola oil as bar oil for the past several years without any real ware and tear...

    Storing saw chain

    Does anyone have any good ways of storing their saw chain while in their trucks? We have a few spare chains that we keep on our truck and it always gets all tangled up when it brounces around. The worst one is our 36" chain but our shorter ones can be a pain too. Any suggestions? Sent from my...

    I wanted a stiffer one

    So this is what I can up with..... It's very rough because I didn't want to waste a lot of time if it didn't work. Thought? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

    Tongue weight increase?

    We have a camper that we pull behind our Grand Caravan and I was wondering what this hitch extension might do to the rear suspension of our van. I want to get something like this so we can also haul my kids bikes along when we go camping. I welded a receiver hitch to the back bumper of the...

    Tablet use in the field

    We just re-signed our contract with Verizon and for $100 each my partner and I got Verizon made tablets with data included.... No additional monthly fees. We thought it was a really good deal so we took them. We figured we would try them out for work and if they aren't useful, well just keep...

    Redoing our website

    We have been dropping in Google search results and we believe one reason is that our current site is not "mobile friendly". So we are in the process of redoing our site.... Actually my sister is in the process. She asked for examples of tree company websites that we think are good examples. So I...

    Muzzleloader thread

    I'm curious who shoots muzzleloader here? I'm starting to get more into it and am having more questions about it. I have an inline and not a traditional so it seems a little more challenging to find info on the Internet......

    Gun cleaning

    There seems to be lots of gun folks here so I thought I would tap that resource tonight. I am just picking up shooting as a hobby..... Again. I used to shoot quite a bit as a junior and I was pretty good at it. I have always deer hunted but I got away from all other shooting. Last year I bought...

    Stihl blower carb

    I am trying to find a carb for my bg55. I pulled the old one off and can't really make out the part numbers on it. It's a Zama and I think the number is S63B 606A however that number never shows up in any of the cross reference sites. Does anyone know what carb fits those blowers?

    Oregon distributor

    Yesterday we were working in a front yard when we noticed the neighbor watching us. Then he goes into his garage and comes out with something in his hands and starts walking over to us. He hands us a battery powered poles made by Oregon. He wanted our opinion on it. So we played around with it...

    Effective way to haul debris up a steep hill

    Today we removed an Ash tree on a super steep hill. Luckily that was at the top.... sort of. All of that debris is already gone but the customer wants a bug pile of old wood hauled away. My plan was to use our DR Powerwagon but the hill is too steep for that. He has "low mow" grass flanked by...
