    Help to Id this tree.

    The one I have the pics of is structured the same way. The upper canopy definitely spreads out more horizontal. It's good shade for my clients yard. There tree is a bit sketchy though. A lot of included main unions and cavities.

    Help to Id this tree.

    We have lots of Siberian elm here so I thought it was some sort of elm at first, but the twigs are not round they are a cross shape. You can sort of see if you zoom in on the middle of the second pic

    Vermeer bc1200xl good or bad?

    Going to look at a used Vermeer 2012 bc1200xl chipper. I've used a bc1000xl and a newer 1800 xl just wondering if anyone has used the chipper in question or heard of any complaints and problems with them. What should I look out for? Cheers

    First time purchasing a chipper but not my first time running a chipper. For the work we do something 12" would work, 18" would be better but I would rather buy something newer in a 12" than a beat up old 18" . I prefer new vs old budget is 40k that's doing finance or a loan. Bandit over...

    Husky or stihl

    Interesting thread, I was about to purchase a ms362 . Rented one for my last two jobs , it's brand new and I had to start it after every cut on a 70ft chunk down. I wanted to throw it out the tree. Never considered a Husqvarna since I have been happy with Stihl to this point. What's there...

    Favorite In Tree Saw For Bigger Wood

    I have a Stihl MS 361c that's not that much heavier than 261 and it kills it for the bigger stuff. 20" bar is perfect on it too
