    Lightning kills line clearance worker

    The weather reports were spotty at best. Radar had nothing but the conditions were right for pop up cells.

    Lightning kills line clearance worker

    I got caught in the same cell, just ground work, but it popped up out of nowhere. Sad!

    Ummm, measure twice plant one then measure again before planting because your ocd just kicked in.

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    Stalled on rocks but not stuck. Sometimes when drilling and you are just about to stall on a rock lifting the arms can dislodge the rock. Sometimes.

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    You have to break up the sides at a minimum, even a little bigger of a hole.

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    They will make a hole but it’s a pain if it’s wet, if it’s dry the hole will look like it was cut with a laser, nice clean straight sides.

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    I use a 36”, 24”,and 12” auger for tree planting with the mini skid. Drill the hole, trim the sides to get rid of any soil compaction, set the tree with forks. I will always set the tree higher than the ball as they always have soil mounded up around the root collar. I will trim back the excess...

    Arbo Space Rigging Line

    It does. So does letting it run. Or cutting it smaller for better control. If shock loading the tree is a concern a better plan needs to be made.

    Arbo Space Rigging Line

    Personally I like a line with less stretch for negative rigging. IMO it offers a little better control over targets. And i think if you can use a line that has substantial elongation you have room to let it run with a more static line. Also Stable Braid is just an awesome rigging line. Many a...

    Mystery problem cutting?

    The bar rails themselves can splay open in time with heavy use. A bar rail closer might be the ticket.

    Storing a branch manager

    I have a 12” auger that I do the occasional footing for deck builds, I’ve got a few buddies in the construction biz. And use it for one gallon installs. It’s nice when the custy wants a green fence but doesn’t want to pay for bigger stock. IMO if you have it you’ll find a reason to use it. A 24”...

    Storing a branch manager

    I presume you are talking about planting? Lately I just run with the drive and auger on the machine and bucket and forks in the back of the truck. They are easier to chain down than the auger/drive. But I suppose if I were going to do storage I would use a heavy walled pipe/tube, of close...

    Storing a branch manager

    I keep the scoops on as much as possible so unhooking is super easy. And I just balance it upright when the scoops aren’t on, no kids to worry about, and the grapple almost closed up tight but still a little wiggle room for easier hydro hook up.
