    Adjustable Crane Slings.

    Just wanted to give a recommendation on slings and to my “tree dad” Nick Taylor Sr a shout out. I learned on the first gen of these slings, and the second generation are even better. Without a fought the tasters and most easily fine tuned set up for the tree industry. When I started learning...

    Euro tracked chippers.

    I am moving to N.Idaho/CDA And I’m considering adding a small 8” tracked chipper to the fleet in a year or two. Debating between the TW 280VGTR or a Jensen Spider A550XL with winches. I would have a Timberwolf/Morbark dealer local, but the UK forums seem to point to Jensen being supreme. I...

    (No longer for sale) Immaculate 2023 Bandit 15XP, 6.2, (No longer for sale)

    My family and I are oriented ourselves to sell the business and move up to the rest of our family in Idaho. Our business in Tulsa has been a major blessing and has gone better and easier than I ever dreamed, but it’s probably worth us putting in 30 years into an area we plan to live long-term...

    Perkins T3, 1104D, 142HP

    I am looking at a 2014 Bandit 1590XP with a Perkins T3, 1104D, 142HP. It has 980 hours on the clock, and original paint/mint condition, so I am assuming hours are correct. Anyone have good or bad info on this Perkapillar engine? Several I have talked to said they’re very prone to injection...

    Emergency storm work billing.

    Anyone else watching and keeping up with Clarity Market? Eye-opener for me as far as how insurance and coverages go. It also made me a step back and figure out what I think everything I own is worth an hour. I’ve never thought about giving equipment and personnel individual hourly rates in...

    Getting commercial work.

    I run a small tree preservation company here in Tulsa. I have noticed that 99% of our sales for the last four years has been strictly residential, I never get calls from any businesses/commercial clients, so I was curious about how you start getting this kind of work? Is it just cold calling and...

    Ditch Witch SK900

    Any one see the new SK900? After talking to my dealer, he said this unit was specifically made for tree care. He said the drive system is way over built for it’s operation capacity, and the arms and attachment plate are made with stronger steel and redesigned...

    GM/PSI 4.3L 145hp vs Ford 6.2L 165 hp

    I am getting really close to pulling the trigger on a chipper build (15XPC vs 15XP, 80-90% pruning and 20-10% removal use expected in 2022), but other than price, my engine choices is what concerns me. Pros and cons to each engine? Who has ran both? - I hear of unreliability with the GM/PSI...

    Soil drench versus trunk injection?

    So are there any case studies/actual scientific research that anyone can cite that shows testing between soil drench and trunk injections for effectiveness? Mostly pertaining to borers. The more I ponder soil drenching, especially in some of our sandy soil’s in Tulsa, the more I wonder about...

    15XP vs 15XPC

    I am setting our goals for next year and we are pretty sure a 15” chipper is what we want. We work primarily residential, and about 5% of our sales this year have been removals, “we are a tree preservation company“. Honestly we only need a 12 XP as that would be suitable for all of our work, but...

    Does Morbarks paint just suck?

    Why is it that all the used red Morbark chippers look so crappy after a few years compared to all the other machines? Is it because they seem to be more common up North where they used road salt? Does their paint process just suck? Brush Bandit uses Imron I know.

    Morbark TorqMax.

    Is the single wheel TorqMax a down grade compared to the 2 standard feed wheels? I have never ran a single wheeled unit and the down pressure/friction in the feed wheel box seems like it would cut the pulling power in half.

    Best business entity for saving capital?

    I am wanting to start a company in the next month for my side work in transitioning to full-time work next year. I’m currently working for a company that’s teaching me crane work so I think it’s valuable to just work part time for myself and also start building up some referrals. I’m hoping...
