    Covid Close To You

    Reminds me of the lyrics of the Metallica song My Friend of Misery. You just stood there screaming. Fearing no one would listen to you. The empty can rattles the most. The sound of your own voice must soothe you. Hearing only what you want to hear and knowing only what you’ve heard. You...

    Vandals. Grrr!

    I would paint crying eyes on the tree. Maybe the kid has a heart and that will get through to him more than escalating with other reactions.

    Posting links is not discourse. It doesn’t show that you have any opinions or understanding of anything that is going on. You are just like watching a video and and think “this is the video that will show everyone what is going on.” Has it ever worked? Write something in your own voice...

    Skylining micro-chipper into forested work site...ideas.

    And likely worth every penny. We are doing a crane job tomorrow. We totally could do the tree without but the efficiency and minimizing impact on the landscape is sometimes worth the expense.

    I’ll comply with that for 1/2-3/4 of the year.

    Skylining micro-chipper into forested work site...ideas.

    Sean- I’ve got a buddy who installs ziplines and ropes courses. He does long ziplines and high lines with cable to bring in platforms, beams, and things. If you want his contact info let me know.

    Adapter for Avant to skid loader or mini?

    Zero concern. It is built rock solid. I mostly use mine with a 60” wide tractor bucket for moving chips and stump grindings or for grading after we do big stumps. I also occasionally use it with forks when milling or moving things around at our place.

    Stump clean up efficiency

    Sounds like you need to ditch the sub and get your own grinder. Then you can bill for the whole job and make it as efficient as can be.

    Adapter for Avant to skid loader or mini?

    Avant sells adapter plates that allow you to use your Avant with full size skid steer attachments or with mini skid attachments. I have the full size one so I can use my Kubota tractor buckets and forks with my Avant.

    It is always someone else’s fault. Either the immigrants, the poor, the previous administration, or other countries.

    I was in Portland last week for class. There is literally one city block in the entire city where protests are regularly occurring. Numbnuts number one keeps saying the city is burning and that everyone is terrified. The whole class and I were walking to coffee shops, walking to look at trees...

    RIP Jamie Goddard

    I spent some time with Jamie at Jambo 1 & 2. What struck me was how generous he was and how much he just loved to have a good time and goof off with the rest of us. Those experiences along with the quality and consistency really helped make me a Yale Ropes guy.

    Do you think tree removal gets more focus and attention than other aspects of tree care?

    Pruning margins are often way better than removal. And you can only remove a tree once…. Repeat clients are better than one time visits. I love doing removals but I’m trying to build a very diverse reputation with our company.

    The Art and Science of Practical Rigging VHS Box Set!

    If you and your co workers are rigging like you are in the dark ages this video series will get you rigging like a bad ass in the early 2000s! This ain’t your modem Pfannerman shit. No rings, no beautifully made DMM blocks. Just men being men. Actually, I have no idea what is on these...

    Grapple - anybody have an Avant's grapple?

    my only regret with cutting it off was that I didn’t do it before I bolted it on! I did more damage to things with that thing and maybe only pushed over 10 trees with it the whole time it was on there. The bollard is great and we use that constantly.

    Grapple - anybody have an Avant's grapple?

    Love my Avant grapple with power rotate. Biggest recommendation is to cut off the tree pusher for more visibility and easier chipper feeding.

    Games, competitions, and levity at work

    At my place I’m thinking of making an arborists version of frisbee golf using throwballs and throwline. We’ve got 60 acres so I’m pretty sure we can make 18 holes.
