    Eminectin benzoate rates

    Thanks for the comparison between the two. I agree the quick jet air takes some maintenance and can be finicky... And they're like their proprietary parts so it's not like I could run to the hardware store and get everything I need if it goes down today. I haven't used the q connect. Just have...

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    If you want to go fast, either QuickJet Air or Rainbow's Q-connect. I have a quick jet air that I bought from another arborist who did not like it. It works great for me. I use it without plugs. I've had this since before Rainbow released their Qconnect. If I were starting from scratch, I...

    Avant/branch manager rotation troubleshooting

    Just bought a Branch Manager T1010 last week. The wiring harness to switch from grapple to rotation was not attached... Pretty sure this was the first time the technicians have seen that harness for an Avant... It took a minute to figure out how it was supposed to go. It did not rotate at...

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    No question that G4 goes in easier than the OG. R10, I've never diluted, but like @macrocarpa said it is nice to be able to use a lower dose for ease of injection/quicker time at each tree. If G5 is easier to inject than G4 that would be great. I don't think I have any G4 left. I have a...

    Artemis II

    If you like that kind of thing....there is a nice documentary with engineering footage from the Space Shuttle program. Its fascinating. But wait...I'm gonna tie this into trees! Matt Melis (the voice in the video) had an arborist out to work on his trees (the late Mark Hoenigman). They got...

    I cannot find the prices yet. It sounds like maybe better uptake. But they say their products already have great uptake...sooooo, which is it? Previous versions are still available, so it would seem G5 needs to offer some improvement...whether that is price or uptake speed, or efficacy. I...

    More than their other products?

    Just got an email advertising G5. Wonder why they released that...What does it do that G4 or R10 do not?

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Avant has a CH100 (4') and CH180 (7"). No idea what they cost.

    GPS equipment tracking

    Reading around more, that is an anti-stalker feature (so a stalker cannot put it on victoms car, for example). I didn't even think about it in that regard so it makes sense that they identify themselves. But from an antitheft standpoint it would be great if they didn't.

    GPS equipment tracking

    Would you mind sharing what you settled on... again, I understand if you would rather not talk too much about security protocols.

    GPS equipment tracking

    I've noticed that with a kid's friend in the car "an unidentified aritag has been following you for a while" message popped up on my phone.

    GPS equipment tracking

    Anybody put something like an AirTag, Tile, Galaxy SmartTag, etc... on equipment and/or vehicles to track if they are stolen? These are all "crowd source" tracking, so they need other people's phones around allowing location tracking. I also see MavGo that sounds like it uses cellular...

    They are probably 100' apart with 2 driveways between so I doubt it.

    Go to canopy anchor?

    I haven't seen need to deviate from a quickie. Simple, fast. Just go through the spliced eye/no additional knots or hardware. Light weight cord with an accessory carabiner to pull it down. I haven't tried it with more than one redirect, so that could change my thoughts!

    Air Cannons are not toys but..............

    I started with a homemade air cannon, but switched back to big shot. Still try to throw if I can and have the time. Big shot is quicker, but I don't want the skill to perish (I admittedly use "skill" loosely! - i've watched arborists who are good)

    I haven't heard anything lately about the predators. As for if you leave an untreated tree nearby: you are still protecting the trees you are protecting. And maybe the neighbors too. One small case study: I have a client who we've been treating for I think 18 years. Neighbor's tree never...

    Maintenance… daily or when needed?

    Would seem that way
  19. ATH

    Be honest… I used to be in the “only check when something feels off” group.

    Don't put equipment through the rough use of land clearing...but I'm not great at all scheduled maintenance. Pretty good with basic oil changes, hitting grease point, and the like. It's usually when I notice some off, then I'll start looking and doing thorough once over to pick up all the...

    Eminectin benzoate rates

    I have used it. I quit using it because I heard it doesn't move as well in trees as G4 or other formulations. I cannot say I used it long enough to see that myself, but I didn't use it long enough either. (EDIT): correction to the record. Apparently it does move through the tree to kill...
