    Tree bolting insights.

    @Reach I guess the main question would be if the cracks extend all the way to the ground and are present on both sides of the tree, is bolting still a good option? Or is the failure inevitable and the bolts are just delaying that. Cables will be an important part of the equation to mitigate the...

    Tree bolting insights.

    Hey, Looking to learn a bit more about bolting and trees that are good candidates vs not. I've attached a few pics I grabbed from the internet. I have the BMP's for tree supports, but looking for some real world insights. The trees that I have more questions about are typically when a shear...

    F250 Dump Thoughts

    Agreed with all the statements above. Most likely too light duty once loaded. Only towing a bandit 75. But with chips, that could get overworked quick. Thought it was an odd set up on an F250 considering the limited weight capacity. But wanted to see if others had experience with a similar set up.

    Suggestions/Help

    I would explore this option. If you can find the right individual, have them train a couple people. Don’t just have them crushing work. Pay the extra cost. Well worth it in the long run. But I do understand. It’s hard to find the right individual for this work.

    Dump hoist trouble shooting?

    I cleaned up all the wire connections even though they looked good. Took a wire brush to all the rust areas and did a whole grease job. Seems to be moving a bit smother. Could be in my head. Got it booked in for later this spring. I'll have them give it a once over then as well. Lot of good...

    Dump hoist trouble shooting?

    Hi, Any tips for troubleshooting the dump hoist on a dump truck? It's on a f450. Electric dump. Power up and down It just seems to be a little slow to lift and a little slow to lower. Fairly new battery in the truck. Greased regularly. Just want to see if there is anything else I can look at...

    Very Honest Arborist Podcast

    This sums it up for me. If it wasn't for the flexible schedule I have built for myself. I would have packed it in a long time ago. The biggest issue I've had over the years is trying to raise prices and get paid for your experience and qualifications. Still losing bids to prices from 15-20...

    Cardo Packtalk Edge Vs Sena 33i info

    Hi, Looking to possibly take advantage of some black Friday sale and pick up some helmet comms. Can any provide some info on either the Pack talk Edge or Sena 33i? Or is it just a flip of the coin? Currently just use some simple handhelds.
