Cool, Chris! Now mindful when backing up.

 

[Bixler]

Awesome Tucker, how much did you pick it up for?

 

[FireFighterZero]

I like to think of things like this MINI loader as an investment in quality of life for the future.

Nice buy Chris.

Thanks for postin mate!

Jomo

looks like Fomes fomentarius jomo

 

[Jomo]

Thanks for the heads up on that mate?

Does it kill trees too like Ganoderma does?

Jomo

 

[Jomo]

Fascinating.

A fungi body actually used by prehistoric man, as tinder, to start fires, or beaten into a fabric to make clothing! Wow!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fomes_fomentarius

Much more interesting than Ganoderma!

Though perhaps not as harmful to healthy trees?

More of a scavenger of the weak, damaged and stressed out?

[Maximalist]

Yes, it Fomes fomentarius. Here's another interesting birch fungus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inonotus_obliquus

Yes, it Fomes fomentarius. Here's another interesting birch fungus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inonotus_obliquus

Thanks for the link...good info. An excerpt:

"Russian literature Nobel Prize laureate Alexandr Solzhenitsyn wrote two pages on the medicinal use and value of chaga in his autobiographical novel, based on his experiences in a hospital in Tashkent, Cancer Ward (1968 ) "

You tree guys always amaze me with your breadth of knowledge.

 

[woodworkingboy]

They call such fungus a "monkey's seat" over here. I see the same or similar on different species trees, not just Birch. Not uncommon on a type of Oak, If different, the cancer connection is known with it as well. Probably if it really works as a treatment, it has been synthesized, like with Yew wood bark.

[Maximalist]

My set of saws for working with a bucket truck...


In St. Petersburg again winter came ...

 

[Bixler]

Very nice Maximalist

 

[Jomo]

Is your cleanup crew on strike Max?

I've only had to work in the snow a few times here in the mountains after storms, no cleanup, just get the trees off the lines and move on. I found it brutal each time. Even with chains on my tooltruck, and 4x4 Honda Fourtrax to haul stuff with, it was still brutal enough for me to realize how tough the arborists who work in the snow daily for months really are.

Good stuff mate.

Thanks for postin.

Jomo

 

[Maximalist]

My cleaning crew always follows me with a delay of 10-30 minutes. Optimization of production work ...

 

[Jomo]

Is that a roll off container truck Max?

Loggers use them here big time!

Four containers, one truck. Very efficient.

[Limbrat]

Andrey, looks like you do great work. What's the reason for all the removals of the live trees there in the city?

 

[stig]

They are mostly poplars.
Not the best choice for city trees.

 

[Maximalist]

Verily it is so Stig. And more elms...
