    Colorado Tree ID #2

    That's because it's not a silver maple. Leaves, bark and petioles sure look like red maple.

    Strange safety item out of Germany

    If I was a customer, I would probably not complain about price after seeing the groundies walking around in these things all day. After peeing my pants watching the guy stuck on his back like an upside down turtle with the saw still running, I'd almost surely refer your company to my friends.

    New sk 800

    Has anyone ever looked into smooth-ish or turf friendly tracks for the SK800? Size is Wx72x44. Nobody seems to make them. I can find Wx72x45 for bobcat in hex pattern that looks pretty non-aggressive. Curious if the track tensioner will adjust that far out.

    Shipping a chainsaw

    I signed up for a fedex account a couple of years back to ship one legal envelope. I just used it to quote and ship a Stihl pro trimmer to my son (TN to VA) a few weeks back. 60"+ long package at about 25 pounds with all the stuff I threw in. Online they quoted me $69 through my account, so I...

    Stihl 131 idea

    If you go the route you suggested, you may find your reach to be insufficient. I think anything under 12 ft for pole saw is gonna leave you wanting more. If you go combi system and buy the extender poles, just be sure to get a power head big enough to run it. BTDT with an echo branded setup, and...

    Covid Close To You

    Another victim of the "live free or and die" bullshit. "Tiny Balls" Tate has finally called in the National Guard to fix his COVID problem. And our federal tax dollars are being spent on yet another great deal.

    Another vote for silver maple. The peeling bark is commonplace here.

    Possible dieing maple? Need expert opinion.

    That's what went through my mind too, but I also see where root stimulation could be beneficial. Will be watching this thread.

    Covid Close To You

    If there's one thing that I will always remember about growing up in MS it's this - PRIDE. Not just the kind that makes for a good novel, but the kind that causes people to choose self destruction over simply admitting they were wrong. Hospitals are maxed out, and the governor, Tate "Tiny Balls"...

    This thread is getting interesting.

    Wore out ORCA biner

    Is your bridge eye-eye. If so, when the ring hits the extreme ends the double cord thickness of the eye inside the ring almost guarantees contact with the biner. Maybe?

    Wore out ORCA biner

    If you have a ring on your bridge, Is it possible this is where the bridge cord is contacting outside surface of biner?

    Advice sought...Got an offer that'll pay much more $$, but is a swap from 'tree surgeon' to'clearing land' :/

    1) After a huge run up in home prices like what we just had in my area of country, I would be a little wary of getting into anything NEW home related. But, I am not a developer or real estate agent, so what do I know. Real estate is also very area specific too. I just know that every time home...

    Eliminate strimmer line

    Hey Tom, one more thing to consider. You may be able to go to a oversize line by enlarging the hole in the metal ferrules that the line exits the head. I see no reason why you couldn't get another 20-30 thousandths out of the holes. Just round and smooth with some basic tools - sandpaper, etc...

    Eliminate strimmer line

    Hey Tom. If you're goal is to convert it to an edger basically, you may be able to find an edger blade and adapt it to that head. Then with it being a straight shaft, rotate the gear head 90*. You may need to remove the gear head and tap another hole for the alignment screw, but thats easy. Or...

    Neruo Divergence (ND). In arboriculture

    I believe you're looking for another thread where some members pointed out to another member that his posts are very wordy. I think this post originated to see what kind of people get attracted to this work, maybe thinking that we're all a little off in one way or another...
