    Stihl Parts, online sources?

    I usually have to drive out to a Stihl dealer to get replacement chainsaw parts, and these dealers often have to order the specific parts anyways. The Stihl dealers closest to me do not specialize in saw repairs and my learned expectations for what they can do are low. Are there any good online...

    Bandit 15XP price?

    We just got one of these too, and just in time before an unexpectedly early snow storm broke up rows of Leyland cypresses all over town. We like the new feed wheel assist lever for the winching operation. It made me feel completed to finally own a chipper larger enough to process a grown man.

    We're committed to Jobber, but the office staff is wondering whether it makes sense to try to add/integrate Quickbooks Online for better accounting features. Insights would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    Anyone ever forage tree nuts while climbing?

    I often pick nuts, acorns, persimmons, sweetgum and sycamore balls, oak galls, fat beetle grubs from decaying heartwood, etc. It's always just to have something to throw at the groundies.

    Climbing/PPE Gear for Small Bodies

    I'm looking for advice on the best climbing gear for a compact female climber. We particularly need help on the items for which fit is critical: helmet, harness, gloves, footwear, chainsaw protective pants.... The helmet should be compatible with the Sena system. It would all be for daily...

    Tips and Tricks

    That's awesome. Before I employed people I didn't find it absurd that rakes came without instruction manuals. Now I believe that there should be You-Tube channels, encyclopedias, and learned treatises devoted to the raking science. I'd happily pay my taxes if government funding were directed...

    where to buy a good used chip truck?

    We've had luck with used older Asplundh chip trucks (2005 or 2006 GMC 6500) from a local dealer. Here's one of his current Craigslist adds.

    Bandit 15XP price?

    Yes, we've loved this machine, though it's with our mechanic just now. Might you be able to email me that pdf you got from PSI (thetreeist@gmail.com)? That just may help us out of a jam--we're still overwhelmed with post-hurricane work and it rained most of this week. I'll ask for a quote on...

    Expo roll call. Who’s goin’ to Charlotte?

    Planning to drive out from Chapel Hill this afternoon, staying through Saturday. It'll help justify the admission cost and time commitments if I can meet some of you folks!

    Spray Rig for soil drenches?

    In any given year a stand of vigorously growing young trees probably sucks in more atmospheric carbon than a stand of mature trees. So give space to young trees by cutting down the majestic ones and burying them in landfills. With efficient heavy equipment it'll be carbon negative. Sell the...

    Bandit Chipper Winch, safety override?, speed modifications?

    The winch on our 12xp (less than a year old) is getting less use than expected. The operators are frustrated by its slow pull rate and way that it cannot be operated in conjunction with the feed wheel. These guys are used to working with older bandit chipper winches. Any thoughts on this? Anyone...

    Best laserpointer for treework?

Just press the "Add to Cart" and then you will easily possess such an adorable appliance... Ideal helper for your work and life! Grasp...

    Phosphorous on Axe-Wounded Oaks?

    It looks like they can both be injected via an Arbojet system. I'm thinking of trying this on a sycamore showing anthracnose symptoms.

    Treeage effectiveness of bark beetle attacked pine

    Unfortunately I didn't ID the beetle. I've been watching a young pine on my own property hang on for the last 4 months or so with many similar pitch tubes around the lower trunk. I've been thinking optimistically that the presence of pitch tubes isn't conclusive evidence that the beetles have...
