    2024 Avant 755i, lots of attachments

    How is the visibility? It seems like it would be difficult to see what you’re doing from the drivers seat?

    2024 Avant 755i, lots of attachments

    I’m interested in the stump grinder. Were you happy with it? I’ve been eyeing it ever since I bought my Giant G1200. I’ve never had a chance to talk to someone who’s owned one. I’d love to know your thoughts on it even if yours is not for sale.

    eastern white pine, lower third yellowing/thinning fast...not sure what it could be?

    Here in Northern Indiana our evergreens, especially our White Pines, are struggling with winter burn. It’s very common on evergreens exposed to wind tunnels along roads and right of ways. It looks like your Pine is on the edge of a right of way and the yellowing needles are on the exposed side...

    My Name is Mud

    This is a great point. This particular company is one that I have a relationship with and have worked with 3-4 times a year for the past couple years. I’ve set up an intentional business model of not buying large equipment and simply bringing in subcontractors who own the big equipment when I...

    My Name is Mud

    I loved seeing you tip tie a large lead and having your groundie cut from the ground and then lay it down. It’s such an effective means of getting work on the ground quickly in certain situations. Recently, I did a job where I was hired to remove a very tall White Oak. I subcontracted a local...

    Restoration Pruning, Guy Meilleur

    I think Guy Meilleur‘s work is fantastic. I believe that there are too many “tree guys” who are too eager to recommend cutting trees. Whether it’s pruning or removal, often times it’s just excessive. I understand their rationale because they have a business and equipment and expenses, so they’re...

    Shagbark Hickory preservation

    Thank you for all the feedback! The excavation work would be all air spade and hand tools. It’s really hard to say how much excess dirt is there. In regards to “fertilizer”, I should have been more clear. I use that term with my clients because it’s easier for them to understand that than “soil...

    Trailer hitch carried sprayer?

    I don’t have pictures on me at the moment, but it has a custom receiver that goes in the receiver on the truck. There are two pins on the spray rig that allow you to tilt the unit back and rest them on the custom receiver and then you lift the unit up and it slides in and you pin it there. I’ll...

    Trailer hitch carried sprayer?

    I’m a bit late to the discussion, but it’s called a “Trinity Tank.” It was manufactured by Plant Groth Management Systems and created by Mark Mann. The company does not manufacture them anymore, but I convinced Mark to refurbish one of his old units for me and I LOVE IT! ATH it looks like you...

    More on wide spread herbicide damage

    This is interesting, I’m located in Northern Indiana, about 2.5hrs from you. In 2024 there was 1 neighborhood in particular that looked like every single Oak tree was suffering. Leaf curl on all of them and appeared to be very thin. I was very concerned and sent some samples in to Purdue...

    Shagbark Hickory preservation

    I’d love to get all of your thoughts on a project that I’m looking at. There is a Botanical Graden in my community that recently underwent a huge construction project where they built a new visitor center and event venue. I don’t really want to get into all the mistakes they made when they did...

    EAB fungal infections

    Honestly, I have concerns about solutions like this. They can’t possibly know all of the impact that introducing a fungus will have. What other insects will be adversely affected? What other animals who eat those infected insects will have adverse reactions? I understand trying to solve a...
