    I believe it’s called a 4-way blade, but may also be referred to as a 2-way. It moves Up/Down and Left/Right. Very stable due to the extra length required for the Left/Right movement.

    Tip over in Cleveland area

    Oh man. This reminds me of a story my friend told me when he actually SOMEHOW got a smidge on his beard while handling some ropes that got crap on them. He said he checked his boots and clothes 20 times and was getting all upset about not being able to find it. Meanwhile his coworker was...

    This one goes out to all you guys that have been posting pics of a fire. I bit my tongue for a few days in hopes to get a shot of a massive blaze, but couldn’t catch any shots to do justice. I spent the a week of 12 hour shifts masticating a unit prior to a controlled burn. The whole area...

    Bid that tree!

    After reading “I already have a price in mind” I thought your post was going to lead to how much he would sell the wood to you for. He must have really swallowed some pride to even make the call. Reminds me of when we got an “emergency” call at dinner time from our former social studies...

    Topping, Pollarding, or what??

    Tell them the existing trees will provide amazing privacy on their 9th floor someday.

    Topping, Pollarding, or what??

    To me, (because you asked) this kinda comes down to two factors that lean heavily to hedge quality…shade tolerance and the tendency to sprout new growth on old wood. Neither species in question is high in either category. IMO, I would suggest phasing out the trees over time and replacing with...

    We had a similarly sized Silver Maple go down in town over a month ago. The trunk is still lying there right along the top of a steep bank above the sidewalk. The crown is gone but the heavy trunk remains. While arguably stable, I’m about to offer removal pro-bono.

    I love the grapple pic. Made me think of ‘Kids in the Hall’ skit, I’m crushing your head. Quite a job though. Long lateral material is almost more challenging than something tall and narrow, especially when dealing with all the hazards. Nice job!

    That, and having a father daughter day! My little ones really love shuffling trucks around in the yard, or helping run the excavator. Gotta keep them aware of what all we get up to from dawn to dusk.

    There’s nothing quite like the right tool in the right workspace. Reminds me of some tables I got from a manufacturing business that was shutting down and liquidating. They has some heavy tables with all sorts of holes drilled and tapped in the top for all the fixtures. They ended up being more...

    I think we were looking at the same clouds yesterday! Nice job on the tree. That one photo looked like the leader was in mid-fell but nay. Big stump! Looks like one of those 3 hour crowns followed by 5 hours of raking!

    I feel like all wheelbarrow tires should be made of solid rubber with proper “inflated” feel. There’s nothing quite like the seldom used tool that’s never really ready to use.
