    Stihl MS-241 (pro$) or Stihl MS-201 (farm$$$)

    I haven't used the rear handle version of either the 201 or 193, but I can tell you that the 241 is a mean little saw, and can be gently modded to good effect. It's my favorite saw to train someone on, and it would be the first saw I'd pick up on the ground for smaller jobs. I've moved to the...

    Key storage

    We have a big key rack with labeled hooks for all the trucks, and matching labels on the key rings. The rack is right next to the door to the shop, you have to walk by it to do anything. It makes it pretty easy to see if anything is missing at a glance. Spares are in a lock box in the office...

    Spur climbing storm damaged trees

    Leaving aside the question of should you spike them for a moment, if the trees are in that bad of condition, I would question whether they should be climbed at all; bucket, spider, or crane, pick your poison. Pass the bad news directly to the customer - it's not your tree, but it is your...

    Professional reference resources

    This thread is great, it's my syllabus for my BCMA studies. I'm a convert to treating culturally first, and I thought I'd add: Abiotic Disorders of Landscape Plants; Costello, Perry, and Matheny Up By Roots; Urban Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    Bartlett West Chester PA, Climber/Foreman

    The experience is much more important than the degree, I can't speak for Mike's office, but we don't require it for the right candidate. I don't have one as a forman, but I am studying for my BCMA with my office's support. I'm sure CA, CDL, licensed applicator, CTSP, and TRAQ, along with crane...

    Johnny Pro

    While that video was hilarious (“Twat! Always tryin'ta get somphin fer free, he is!“) and demonstrates @Reg 's awesome sense of humor, that was Johnny Quick, not Johnny Provenzale. His (his brother's?) company website is still up: http://www.treesaremybusiness.com/about-us.html and they seem to...

    Can you recommend a mid sized utility veg mgmt company please!

    Nelson and Davey both do line clearance and right of way management, but they're pretty big too. It would help to know where you are located, because most smaller companies won't have a national reach. For example, I think Aspen Tree Experts, (http://aspen-tree.com/about-us/), @Mark Chisholm 's...

    Tree cuttin ass kickin music

    So if I disagree with you, I'm a triggered liberal pussy snowflake SJW? Someone better tell my 3120 about that before I bring it up in a tree with me again. Grown-ups disagree and find a way forward together, viz. Hamilton and Jefferson. This isn't politics, this is trying to get a rise out of...

    SOCKS!!!

    I love Darn Tough, but I bought a pair of Farm To Feet last summer because they are merino wool and have trees on them (https://www.farmtofeet.com/collections/men/products/8578_cokeville_trees_mid_weight_crew?variant=11026494789), and they are my favorite pair by a wide margin.

    If you'd like to get into splicing, the video Treestuff sells with Nick Araya is a great investment: https://www.treestuff.com/store/catalog.asp?category_id=298&item=16094 Wesspur also has some decent videos on their YouTube channel: Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk

    15" chipper feedback

    I recommend staying away from Vermeer, they are, imo, less capable machines. I don't have anything bad to say about the Morbarks I have used, but I am always amazed by Bandit. I think drum chippers are easier to service and to learn to service, for what it's worth. Sent from my XT1650 using...

    Best practice for unburying trunks from mulch volcanoes.

    My usual approach is to remove the mulch and/or restore the soil grade with either a pneumatic tool or the leaf rake/hand cultivator/hand pick/blower/shovel field expedient method. Then, if the customer is tolerant of temporary unsightliness, I'll allow many of the adventitious roots to air...

    Mini Skids

    I've been daydreaming about compact giant loaders and saw this recently: https://www.tobroco-giant.us/products/skid-steer-loaders/giant-sk-251-d/ not sure how available they are, but pretty compelling. Not a gasser, but looks like it hits all the other points. The ditch witch 650/750/755 is...
