The Official Work Pictures Thread

I bought a Hooeyman(compact, telescopic, short blade, heavy...on sale), then later, used from a guy leaving town a lightweight Silky Zubat and a longer Stihl pole saw after rarely using pole saws beyond chainsaws.

I've used a fiberglass pole with hook for deadwood.



Alder tops are the best use I've found for them where nothing else is possible.

I can cut them partially, then pull and direct the branches somewhat into the drop zone.

And power pruning from the bucket always gets your attention too

Split Norway removal. And snow removal brought to you by BMG rake.

BMG rake for the win. It is essential for us at this time of the year and we use it on every single job to clear the snow. Unfortunately, it also means it is mat season. Welcome to the to the time of the year where the work takes twice as long to do.

I’ve been thinking about making another BMG rake but out of an old mini track instead of the brush for snow removal.

That sounds really interesting. I would curious to see what that looks like and how it works.

I have a BMG rake that the bristles all rusted off so I want to use that old carrier to hold the track section. Easy on easy off save the bristles for turf clean up not snow pushing. I built a plow for the mini but that’s too big for daily use on a job. And the rake carrier is fairly small and doesn’t take up much space in the trailer.

Took the micro chipper to an HOA greenbelt job. Rolled it from pile to pile downhill to where we reloaded. No drag.

In dry weather, I could have driven the big chipper in there. It was only 1/2 to 3/4 of a yard of chipped material.


Then to a tight roadside pull off in another green belt at the crest of a steep slope and a less steep slope and a curve. It was not a well suited for the big chipper and only a half a yard, maybe a bit more, of chipped material. The rest was firewood.

Nothing special.


The micro chipper is great for specific applications.
