    How could anyone think this is a good idea?

    Watched that whole (japanese?) video in quarter-time, slow parts, fast parts and audio. So dope. I did see the crane sway slightly on the last pull, not sure if it was the wind though.

    Advice pruning Oak trees

    Just because homeowners have access to it, I'm not sure how that precludes it being effective, useful or a good idea. And once a professional finds an application for it doesn't that then make it a professional chemical? I just mean, it is what it is right? The formulation I was referencing...

    Advice pruning Oak trees

    Really cool idea to add Neem to bar oil... What about using Neem in bar oil for all pruning as a rule? Would ya'll consider that excessive, pointless? For a guy like me who doesn't have the encyclopedic knowledge of such things, but the desire to provide the best tree care possible, it seems a...

    T540 Oil leak

    Just rereading the posts and it looks like the pickup hose itself can be blocked from what ya'll are saying, I was thinking the outside of the filter would be blocked.... I'm just wondering how I put a oil hose back on if I pull it off, seems like very difficult access!

    T540 Oil leak

    So I opened up the saw... it turns out that the oil-feed screw wasn't stripped, there are actually only three settings and when you turn the screw it "steps" between them (first photo of location). I cleaned off under the pressure plate and everything else I could find but there was no...

    Giant River Birch

    Don't you think there is something to be said for the loss of strength of whatever leader remains due to the fact it has been cabled therefore negating its need to make the necessary tension wood? Both sides have a significant lean.... Unless this answer is in response to my question about if...

    Giant River Birch

    I should know better than to estimate size based on photos...been down that road too many times, but looks like each lead is at least 16". Also I guess I'm just so used to seeing them as new plantings where I am I forgot they get that big... I see like a hundred everyday no more than 20'.

    Giant River Birch

    Yeah I'm going to look into a reduction... still haven't seen the tree in person yet... would be such a shame to see that beauty come down. Am I right in thinking there is probably a broken pipe underground (sewage or water) that has been feeding this tree to get it so big? In which case a...

    Giant River Birch

    I guess I'm questioning my intuition... I feel like when the codominant union is like three feet or greater then the root system is significantly more interdependent than when the codom union is near to ground level... but I have no evidence to support that other than my intuition. From my...

    Giant River Birch

    Good point, that absolutely invalidates removing one lead imo. Still would like to know how a tree like this would respond to the loss of one lead, hypothetically if there was no cable and if the remaining lead was vertical...

    T540 Oil leak

    Well it's not like the hose is blocked, it's as if there is too much oil.. I want to look under the pressure plate to see if there is anything that is keeping it from pressing down flush when the bar is on, and then also check the screw... I have a feeling where the oil-flow-screw goes is going...

    Giant River Birch

    So here is a giant river birch in a small backyard in a city setting. Two large leads, co-dominant each with a significant lean, one towards the house. I believe there is a cable installed. Homeowner wants either the one lead towards the house removed or a full removal. My question is with a...
