    Herbicide in your spray rig?

    Not worth the risk of any residual herbicide that could stay in your tree rig in my opinion. I know there are good tank cleaners out there, but it is still not something I would do. Can you get by using backpack sprayers or sub any of the herbicide work to save money from buying another rig?

    Sterling tri tech?

    I use tritech for my lanyard as well. It's great rope, but too expensive to be a climb line.

    PHC (IPM) is it worth it?

    Thanks, Levi. I am only pointing out for the people who do decide to fight EAB and other pests have the right to hire a good applicator, who can save the tree and mitigate many risks. There is a difference between an applicator with integrity and the a hack who sprays dead trees for customers...

    So in your opinion, how should we manage EAB? And how about massively destructive forest pests?

    PHC (IPM) is it worth it?

    Levi, I agree with a lot in your post. I believe there is no shortage of bad practice in the "PHC industry." Examples I see are unlicensed contractors, uneducated applicators, and unethical practices in the field. However, to paint all chemical IPM/PHC work with a broad brush in that manner...

    Removal technique suggestions?

    Lots of good advice in the thread. If it were me, since the job is for a friend I would climb and assess the tree before removing it if not 100% sure it needs to go.

    Air compressor for shop

    If all you want to do is blow off saws, I would think you could plumb a hose to your second station, and keep a splitter at the compressor to have 2 stations. The compressor is going to run, but I think it would do the job. Or like Tom said, just add a pancake compressor. If you plan on...

    DOT and CDL info

    I was under that impression for years, Gorman. Then the scale house started giving me a hard time, I am almost sure that if you're driving a commercial vehicle over 26,000 then you need to have a DOT number. I am pretty sure I have paperwork from the DOT claiming this as well. Yes, frashdog it...

    DOT and CDL info

    Although you could get the class A with an f350 and an equipment trailer, you'd still need to pass the airbrake written and physical test before you drive a really big truck. So although it would be 'easier' you'd still have to do the test twice. Furthermore the testers quizzing about brake...

    DOT and CDL info

    I was told I needed to get a DOT number for my truck this year. It has been a headache and expensive as well. As allmark stated, its about revenue. As far as I know, if you're over 26,000 you need a Class B, if you're towing more than 10,000 then you need a Class A. Lots of variables in state...
