    Stalled on rocks but not stuck. Sometimes when drilling and you are just about to stall on a rock lifting the arms can dislodge the rock. Sometimes.

    You have to break up the sides at a minimum, even a little bigger of a hole.

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    They will make a hole but it’s a pain if it’s wet, if it’s dry the hole will look like it was cut with a laser, nice clean straight sides.

    Help with Planting Large Trees

    I use a 36”, 24”,and 12” auger for tree planting with the mini skid. Drill the hole, trim the sides to get rid of any soil compaction, set the tree with forks. I will always set the tree higher than the ball as they always have soil mounded up around the root collar. I will trim back the excess...

    Arbo Space Rigging Line

    It does. So does letting it run. Or cutting it smaller for better control. If shock loading the tree is a concern a better plan needs to be made.

    Arbo Space Rigging Line

    Personally I like a line with less stretch for negative rigging. IMO it offers a little better control over targets. And i think if you can use a line that has substantial elongation you have room to let it run with a more static line. Also Stable Braid is just an awesome rigging line. Many a...

    I don’t get it. But if it works for you, go for it.

    Mystery problem cutting?

    The bar rails themselves can splay open in time with heavy use. A bar rail closer might be the ticket.

    Storing a branch manager

    I have a 12” auger that I do the occasional footing for deck builds, I’ve got a few buddies in the construction biz. And use it for one gallon installs. It’s nice when the custy wants a green fence but doesn’t want to pay for bigger stock. IMO if you have it you’ll find a reason to use it. A 24”...

    Storing a branch manager

    I presume you are talking about planting? Lately I just run with the drive and auger on the machine and bucket and forks in the back of the truck. They are easier to chain down than the auger/drive. But I suppose if I were going to do storage I would use a heavy walled pipe/tube, of close...

    Storing a branch manager

    I keep the scoops on as much as possible so unhooking is super easy. And I just balance it upright when the scoops aren’t on, no kids to worry about, and the grapple almost closed up tight but still a little wiggle room for easier hydro hook up.

    Anybody use Castellari Pole Saw

    I have a carbon pole I love it accept I need to glue the locking sleeves in place. It’s stupid light at 20’ and the same weight as the 13’ Zubat polesaw.

    basic noob trailer plug question

    Me personally I’d go the 7 way RV plug on the truck. The adapter to go from 7 to 6 is much cleaner than the 6 to 7 adapter.

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Another tip is to leave the castle nut lightly threaded on so it won’t go shooting across the shop floor.

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Orrr thermic lance and melt the SOB (y). Probably the most gratifying and final solution.

    Mini skid idler bearing removal

    Bearing puller, except it will be pushing on the shaft. Load up the puller good and tight and heat the housing and listen for banging, creeping, and popping then load up more pressure and reheat. I’m guessing it will need some good heat as it’s thick steel. Oxy:acetylene rosebud is your best bet...
