    Revisiting Dead Ash...thoughts??

    Hell ya, I did shoot a few rigging lines and pull what would break out of the top. Just had to get to a main crotch and blow out some long sections. Did not try the double over method though, just a pull with mini on single. Will try that next time - thanks!

    Revisiting Dead Ash...thoughts??

    Yes to above. Most times not our fault that customers waited on these dead ash trees far too long. We all trying to make a bundle in this business, but know when to walk. Just about ready for my compact lift purchase, think I'm going with PA guys (Tracked lift). Really like the Canadian...

    Lithium powered saws?

    One of the best tools I purchased. Just a touch down in power from gas cousin, but super quiet (Saturday AM special, half the prune job done before 9:00 ordinance). Super light, reach out max and stay steady. Take up in tree/lift when need be, much easier that starting a gas engine. I...

    Bandit Chippers

    Demo the XPC with large diameter wood. I did (15XPC Gas) and found an unusually large "spit" back of chips. Way too many. Demo for 10 min max, all I needed to see. I would have to believe a bandit rep would think this is unsafe. Tell me otherwise. Anyway, my sales guy said this was...

    Got quote today for a 20-80 hour Vermeer CTX100 Demon unit for 33k. Pretty high to me.

    falling challenge big tulip through deck

    Just be sure to do in a full moon cycle. You will get the lift/pull you are looking for. A few bottle rockets tied to the trunk may help as well. Just tricky timing the fuse/cut. Called a sizzle cut.
