    Second tree in eight years I could not do

    Would your local power company come out and "cover" the lines with sleeves (we have it done often, at no charge)? That would open up a few more options (crane, 85'-100' rental lift, etc.). If the tree is that dead, could you simply "giblet" it out in very small pieces and bomb it?

    i have 60 shower trees to prune. NO climbing allow

    With 60 trees, there should be enough "money on the table" to take extra precaution with the lift. Sometimes, if we are dealing with grade issues, we will build heavy, wooded "ramps" to back the lift onto to compensate for some of the grade. This, coupled with proper out-rigger deployment, will...

    i have 60 shower trees to prune. NO climbing allow

    Rent the darn lift, be careful with it, and do the job. You have already stated some of the tree will be a "difficult climb", so a lift will increase your productivity and allow you to work (probably) with fewer men. Very rarely do you see a large scale, production job being fully performed with...

    3/4 - one 1 ton dump bed truck

    You will be miles ahead not to invest the money in that old of a truck. You will never be able to recoup your investment, and parts availability will continue to become more scarce. Will the used truck market being so down, you can pick up an older, good, used dump for not much more than a dump...

    Should the water be removed?

    Remove one now, or remove one later. The two trees cannot continue to successfully coexist. The will have significant "included bark" issues and subsequent decay development if allowed to remain as they are. It does though look (from the photos) that the water oak would be the one to keep (even...

    Air Curtain Burners

    Eric, I have extensive experience with these burners. They are very EPA problematic, as I have tried several times to deploy them unsuccessfully. A good friend of mine has 11 of the larger units that sit mostly idle due to permitting problems. Jeremy has my cell number. Give me a call and I can...

    morbark vs vermeer

    If you truly want a reliable, simple, and more affordable chipper - Go With a Woodsman! There are not as heavily built as a Morbark but they share the reliability and simplicity. With a little negotiation you could buy one for less than any of the other brands.

    Oops, it seems I missed one video. Have you seen the one with the big Morbard chipper, blowing the chips straight back at the infeed chute? They're definately not fans of eyewear or hearing protection (clumbersone things, who needs em', huh what'd you say?). I have a feeling the BarBQ might be...

    I've just finished watching all of the videos, even the "Making the Cut" preview (soon to be in theaters everywhere). This is the best stuff I've seen since ole' Paul Nosak, heck it'll probably be on TLC soon. They've invited me to a little "meet and greet" BarBQ on Saturday the 30th and I...

    Tree Job.com

    The same concerns jumped out at me when I looked at their website. We do a moderate amount of storm related work, and it's within that context that they've ask me to participate in their "storm response program". Certainly their "local" work is of no interest to me. Has anyone on here had any...
