    Euro tracked chippers.

    It’s just not pleasing to watch, like you say blunt blades or something. For me the Forst or Timberwolf is much more of a professional machine. You need something that can keep up with or outstrip a groundy, crush forks and not constantly frustrate.

    Looks useless to me.

    Another Avant question

    It could be the self leveling, so when you raise pallet forks or whatever they stay at the same angle. Mine had that hidden in the loom and it worked! So put it in the panel Second is a reset for service light.

    Tree Cracking from Freezing

    It’s a sort of trope about avoiding using the metric system.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Looks good to me, client keeps his tree for a couple more decades, you get paid. Some people might get a fit of the vapours, more fool them. I like it best when they use the phrase ‘ticking time bomb’ to describe a topped tree.

    Stihl gas and oil caps like or loath?

    They wouldn’t be so bad but for the fact that Husky have a simpler effective solution.

    Topping, Pollarding, or what??

    You’re doing what now?

    Questions for Canadian Arborists from the UK

    I did 10 years building up a little business in the UK, then left it all and started in France aged 42 in 2005, not too many regrets, maybe wish I was younger when I did it. Don’t die wondering. Make it happen.

    Questions for Canadian Arborists from the UK

    How old are you @Blue_Pine? I’m not in the US or Canada so don’t expect any advice from me. But I did work in the UK so I understand your pain about Leylandii reductions and the desire to do more “pure” tree work.

    Topping, Pollarding, or what??

    They’re not ideal pollards, but ok. Just cut them back to the pollard head, chip it, collect the chèque and on to the next one.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Agreed, if it’s not the most difficult skill to acquire in the trade, it’s certainly in the top 1.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Don’t get the hump, I was only pointing out a general trend in the US as opposed to Europe. It wasn’t a dig, just observation, a generalisation perhaps, but a correct one I think. Don’t invade Greenland or anything rash because of it!

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    If it was your intention to hurt my feelings…you’ve suceeded! Seriously though, I never see reductions (or indeed pollards) on US tree forums.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Watched the first five minutes. Thoughts. American tree companies rarely reduce trees like they do in Europe. In the US it’s out or a ‘prune’ which seems to be a thin, lift and deadwood. Pointless. If you reduced mature trees, you wouldn’t lose so much cover.

    Don’t confuse clients with this stuff. They want solutions not conundrums.

    Anyone transition from utility to residential?

    If you think utility fries your brain, try dealing with the general public on a daily basis! Nothing to add really, but good luck with however it goes.
