    There is no "industry"

    I disagree. (Just kidding, I love it, very well reasoned and spoken.)

    Light 14 or 16" narrow kerf bar for 200t or 201t

    This is an option Sean: https://arbsession.com/oregon-speedcut-nanotm-conversion-kit-325lp-043-gauge.html I will add that a 14" Oregon bar is just a smidge shorter than a 16" Stihl, go figure...

    Fixing old arbortech toolboxes ( L pack style)

    If you do end up doing a swap, you might find this interesting: But I agree with Reach: re-run the quote with thinner plate before going the new box route, seems like a fairly involved process to retrofit and likely expensive if you have to hire it out.

    Light ground protection

    $1000 minimum shipping charge regardless of order quantity; otherwise, I'd go for it!

    Light ground protection

    Anyone have experience with these? https://groundprotectormats.com/products/4-x-8-ground-protector-mat-classic 36lbs for a 4x8 mat sounds too good to be true... but maybe it's actually not?

    Equipment Hauler

    This setup works very well (not mine, belongs to a guy that I sub for): What I like is that it's very simple and streamlined, fits mats on forks, hitch receiver, light material bucket and machine w/grapple. For a mini, you could definitely downsize a bit (but consider buying slightly larger...

    Postcard mailers with photos, "creepy?"

    For what it's worth, I'd just knock on the door and discuss with them directly; I have had a solid amount of success with this. When no one answers, I typically write a quick note on the back of a business card and stick it between the weather stripping and the door, near the door knob. My...

    Best sources of employees?

    Most of you all have been in the game a lot longer than me, that being said: From what I have experienced, the quantity of ground staff that I'd want on my jobsite that don't have the desire to increase their scope to climbing trees as well is vanishingly small.

    Best sources of employees?

    If you're looking for green folks: I was "found" by my first employer by way of an add on a rock climbing gym cork-board. In general, I feel that some segment of the pie of people with a decent amount of outdoor rock climbing experience can have the right disposition for tree work. Within the...

    Bandit SG-75

    Sick, congrats on the purchase. Don't take my previous comment as negative, mostly just a heads up to be proactive re maintenance of that area of the machine! Clean/grease/whatever you've got to do to ensure minimal headaches with that articulation.

    Bandit SG-75

    A place I worked for a while had one. I didn't use it much but was around it plenty: was a beast of a maschine but we had frequent problems with the track width adjustment, it would sometimes get jammed/not be able to use the full range. They never figured out the true silver bullet to fix this...

    Watch out for underground bee and hornet nests

    I got stung 6 times across two encounters this past week, that's a record for me :/ Seems like a population boom in several regions this year.

    Crack monitoring gauge applied to arboriculture

    Afraid not, just some pieces of plastic. Probably the easiest/cheapest way to pull that off would be to work with someone who is competent with some coding and a raspberry pi or similar to make a battery powered unit that could give a plot of movement through a storm. Then again, we might just...
