    New Makita Top Handle

    Here's the weights. I just realized one is the 40v battery platform and the other is the old 18v battery platform. I wonder what improvements this 18V saw is over the previous 18V model. The Makita UC031G 40V Max XGT Chainsaw has a total operating weight of 3.0 kg to 3.8 kg (6.6 lbs to 8.4 lbs)...

    New Makita Top Handle

    I haven't had a problem with Makita batteries so far. Maybe yours were getting a lot more use though. I've been super impressed with the echo 2500t and echo dpas 2600 multi attachment tool most of all since buying battery tools.

    New Makita Top Handle

    That would be disappointing! I compare everything to my 7lbs echo 2500 T. Only downside is the batteries are finicky in the winter. I was hoping this new Makita would be close to that weight with more power, and Makita’s don’t seem struggle in the cold.

    Interesting but its the 40V battery platform. XGT & LXT Top Handle Chainsaw | UC031G & DUC258

    Vertical bark splitting-green giant

    Just a follow up, visited these trees yesterday and the wounds are totally closed over. I was worried initially since this is my go to evergreen.

    Propiconazole trunk injections?

    Anyone have experienced trunk injecting propiconazole? What I would like to know is does it easily inject into the vascular tissue or is it frustrating like treeage can be? When comparing treeage to mnjet fe, there’s no Comparison, mnjet fe injects so easy, so I know it drastically varies...

    Growth regulator pricing

    Probably for the best when it comes to your drinking water quality. Not for Paclo specifically, but just in general.

    Growth regulator pricing

    Anybody else notice the generic option available at arbsession? They must’ve gone through the process to include trees. I think it was always available, but only labeled for turf. $299 vs $425 https://arbsession.com/quali-pro-pac-low-tree-growth-regulator-1-gallon-jug-2.html

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    From what I gather, it’s general use where R10 is restricted use. It has a little more active ingredient than G4 and is supposed to have quicker uptake/little less product needed per plug.

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    Doing more research on R 10, the medium rate calls for 4 mL per plug. For those of us cavemen that still have the old quickjet this sounds amazing. Using G4 the first 5 mL go in easy but that second squeeze of trying to get 10 mL per plug sucks! So if 4 mL go in like nothing, it’s a game...

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    When treeage first came out, there was talk about the average industry standard cost being around $10 per DBH inch, but that was before Covid before everything got turned upside down. I know it might not be something everyone wants to share, but what would you say the new industry averages are...

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    Has anyone used Treeage R10? I still have the old quickjet and am looking at a project to treat 26 ash around 25” dbh. R-10 is half the dose so 5ml / plug pretty much for the medium rate which would be super easy. Downside is working with a more toxic concentration.

    ISA TRAQ & CEU changes

    I’m just trying to weigh if it’s really worth recertifying or not. To my knowledge there are no regulations/enforcement that a certified arborist can’t charge to provide tree risk assessments even if they don’t have the TRAQ qualification. So they could do their own research to educate...

    ISA TRAQ & CEU changes

    Out of those 21 tree risk assessments how many specifically wanted the traq form? For example, what if a certified arborist isn’t traq qualified, but they still offer tree risk assessments and they take pictures and make a PDF document, noting defects, overall health, etc basically creating...
