    My new Cougar saddle - hmmmmm....

    So what's the consensus? Should I dump the floating D and pick up a cougar? Been thinking about it since I saw Sherrills sale, and this thread has helped a lot. My concerns were focused on that "wimpy" bridge you speak of.

    Happy Birthday Hollenreich!

    Happy B-day numb-nuts...I mean squirrel nuts. I always look for your squirrel nuts in threads to get a good laugh. You are curmudgeonly, but hilarious.

    fall pruning

    [ QUOTE ] Pruning maples (esp. sugars) in mid to late winter should be avoided. But would you prune sugar maples during leaf drop?

    fall pruning

    I was reading some of those little excerpts in the 2008 Sherrill catalog before tossing it. On page 8 it addresses the DO's and DON'T's of pruning. The statement says, "Don't trim live wood when trees are developing leaves in the spring or dropping leaves in the fall" I've read and heard dozens...

    Got Ripped off

    First thing I noticed Ricky, after looking at that "split stem" (that was NEVER going back together), was the stellar clean-up job! I appreciate that kind of work-Kudos! Glad to hear your taking the high road and moving on...you got hooped. But still... "no concrete-EVER"!

    So here we are...3 weeks and 8 pages of thread later, and all I want to know 123 is did you get the contract or not? Is the tree down yet or what? Snap some pics and post 'em if you got 'em!

    Material disposal, chips, wood--profitability

    Everybody is willing to take something for free. This is the stuff I hear..."Drop off the logs here, round log only please" We would love some of your wood chips, but we don't want pine needles, excessive leaf matter, and twigs and sticks from your clean-up" "Can we get some of your stump...

    Structural pruning help...

    The last thing in the world I want to do when I get home or on the weekend is prune my own trees. I say leave it alone...forever! Rest and spend time with your family instead of worry about your co-dominant stems

    chip bags

    Pretty cool idea. What are the bags made out of? What are your plans with the full bags?

    new work truck

    Was the new truck a necessity? You should have stole it. LOL I never did understand that signature quote. But there's nothing like getting a new truck. Hope you enjoy it and get good use from it!

    death sentence for willow

    Three weeks ago I tried to talk a customer out of cutting down her willow. The tree was in decent shape, but my convincing fell on deaf ears. She had just bought the house and didn't like the tree. She hired somebody else to remove it who agreed with her that it had to go. So it goes...

    items found in trees

    Re: Elk Head in Tree Not many can say they found a horse's head in tree! Apparently some Italians might find one in their bed, though!

    items found in trees

    Buzz newbie, so I don't know if this has been discussed before, but yesterday I found a gold wedding band in some included bark of a honeylocust. And it got me thinking what other strange things have climbers/groundies found in trees, aside from kites, balloons or the pair of sneakers tied...

    Fun removal

    Looked like a beautiful day! Cool to see moss like that on the trunks. Never see the likes of it here on the high plains.

    Looking for pics of Tree Work Gone Wrong

    Have you seen this one? Guy tries to pull down a palm tree w/ a Toyota. Check out his cable length. What I can't figure out is how all other bystanders can't foresee what is about to happen and "put a stop to the madness" It's a blessing that this took place in South Africa where the driver sits...
