    Heavy Matt Protection

    Does anybody use these fiberglass matts for driving their heavy equipment into yards? We’ve got a Merlo on order (50,000lbs) and I know we will be putting in nice yards A LOT. We’re just trying to find a good solution...

    Debt to profit ratios

    We keep things VERY conservative at our company. We’ve never had debt on more than 1 piece of equipment at a time and each time paid it off in less than 5 years.

    Edelrid TreeCore Triple Lock Saddle

    I’ve been running the TreeCore for the past 2 years. I really like it, but I don’t climb everyday. The biggest downside to the harness is the lack of adjustability on the leg loops. I use it with the upper harness which I really like as well

    “Unusual Birds” & Trees in your area ?

    Eastern Cottonwood (Populus deltoides); not typically a tree I’m excited to see, but this one was quite striking. This tree truly commands attention at Warren Dunes State Park on Lake Michigan.

    Clogger denim in hot weather?

    Clogger Zeros are my #1 choice for all hot weather conditions. The denim pants would be WAY too hot. Just my .02

    “Unusual Birds” & Trees in your area ?

    We have a pair of Osprey that are nesting in a cell phone tower behind my house. They fly over my house to get to the nearby lake. We see them fly over all the time with fish in their talons.

    Asking, Are you working safe?

    One of the sayings on our crew at the end of our jobsite safety brief, especially on really technical jobs, is “Let’s make it a boring, uneventful day.” Those are our favorite type of days. We’re always shooting to achieve the most boring tree work possible.

    Why 1/3 notch depth?

    You don’t seem to understand the ISA credential or how to “do the right thing in the eyes of God.” Once you pass the ISA exam there is no retesting, you simply submit some paperwork over the course of 3 years demonstrating you’re a continual learner and pay a small fee.

    Input From Debris Truck Operators Please

    I’ve never run a grapple truck for debris. We only have 1 place to dump brush which is really inconvenient. By chipping our material I have more options and locations to dump, especially with ChipDrop.com. I rarely drive over 15 minutes to dump chips regardless of where we’re working. Which is...

    I’d be very interested to hear about what you believe @rico. How did we get hear? What happens after we die? Just curious if you’re willing to share.

    Chipping in the rain

    Me and my crew chipped in the rain for 6 hours today, I don’t have a problem with it. Obviously, there are more risks involved with everything we do if it’s raining. Slow down, stay alert, be deliberate.
