    Purely anecdotal, but when I was working in LA last year, after the fires, there were heavy equipment crews everywhere. Most were running Ford F550 if they had that size category of truck in the fleet. I had the opportunity to talk to a heavy equipment field mechanic for a while, and I was...

    ISA TRAQ & CEU changes

    I've benefitted by securing jobs with it- municipal arborist roles and post wildfire tree risk assessment roles. TBH, I've only ran the thorough TRAQ form perhaps a couple of dozen times, but it's a worthwhile credential for me. I'm definitely not happy with the new ISA though. Poor website...

    What's on your mind? TCI Magazine wants to know

    I've often had the idea of selling cleanup "grades" that could be represented by pictures maybe. Grade "A" is like golf course green clean, nearly 100% of debris generated by the job is cleaned up, Grade "B" is less than 25% fines (define "fines" by largest particle size and smaller) left...

    What's on your mind? TCI Magazine wants to know

    THIS! I saw a presentation a couple of years ago by a local professional, about prescription pruning. He spent the majority of the allotted hour explaining the pruning styles/types (natural, espalier, pleaching, pollarding...) to a room of certified arborists, then realized he was running out of...

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    This is a great thread! Matias, are you referring to thinning to favor the "king" or terminal fruiting bud? I think that's what you're talking about. This is done chemically in most orchards. I do think OP and tree owner are on the right track by preserving this tree. I think we often tend to...

    Wtf someone to port saws

    I've heard of a company called Iowa Performance Saws but have no affiliation or experience with them.

    A spray bottle that lasts?

    I'm so glad I don't have to do battle with the extreme rust that some of you do.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Curious about your statement regarding the 12" Morbark gasser... Care to explain a little more?

    Euro tracked chippers.

    And people like that always talk to you like you're the one who's unfamiliar with the equipment. I get this every time I go into a saw shop or even Vermeer to look at climbing gear.

    Euro tracked chippers.

    Not to derail too far but this happened yesterday with a major bucket truck manufacturer's sales rep. We bought a new truck and he came by for the walk through, which seems like their insurance maybe requires, and I had to show him how to tip the bucket to empty it and how to engage the body prop.

    Is it time to replace the bungee on my Big Shot?

    Great for grips on mountain bikes and motorcycles too! I even put a mtb grip on the clutch handle of my chipper this way.

    Is it time to replace the bungee on my Big Shot?

    I replaced mine when it started cracking like that and was really bummed to see the replacement begin to crack within 2 years with very minimal use and always stored away from UV light.

    tool/chainsaw lanyard attachment options while in a bucket truck?

    I usually do the same, attaching the lanyard somewhere on my harness if I can't find a suitable spot on the bucket.

    Bandit Chipper possible options - and why.

    Great thread! I wish my 1390 was outfitted with the adjustable chute. My current chip truck has a kind of low roof chip box. So I can either buy the adj. chute kit from Bandit for $2600 or mod the chip box. I'll probably do the latter since it has the added benefit of more chip capacity.

    Epicondylitis

    Something that helped me with this same condition was prolozone therapy. Ozone injections near effected area that stimulate blood flow and healing. This and REST, definitely not squeezing tennis balls all day. I also notice a big difference (helpful) with wearing the elastic brace around elbow...

    Reputable chainsaw tuner

    I'm pretty sure that Madsen's will build saws too, you have to call them. No personal experience with any ported saws though, I just run them stock. https://www.madsens1.com/
