    White oak in decline

    No Gypsy moths in town, and last summer the customer said the tree was fully leafed out, I still need to go check out the trunk. The landscaper said the dead branches/twigs just didnt leaf out this year, the twigs that are falling off do have formed buds on them. Im trying to find out about...

    White oak in decline

    Ill go back and inspect the trunk / ask the homeowner if anything was used on the patio or deck, I haven't pruned that tree in 4 or 5 years, the white oaks are pretty "low maintenance". Thanks for replies! Ill get more info and get back on here.

    Any ideas why this white oak is in decline, on Cape Cod, near the ocean, the other ones in the yard look great. This is the biggest and best one of course , -M

    Purchasing Forestry Bucket Truck

    Tough call , may be worth upgrading/fixing yours instead? You buy a 2010 used truck it could easily have more issues than yours plus those engines are not very desirable. I was toying with the same idea replacing my 2001 international XT55 , I ended up going with aerial lift. Good luck with...

    Things we have done that could have gotten us, or someone else killed.

    Watch those bittersweet vines (and others) but bittersweet seems to be the strongest in my area. Ive had 2 trees I dropped covered in vines lift up in the air then shoot back at me butt first, one went by my head, it was an oh shit moment for sure, never trust a tree wrapped or even a few vines...

    201TC spark plugs

    Cleaned the saw thoroughly, pulled out the spark arrestor , reinstalled the old spark plug and she didn't go, I grabbed a fresh plug put it in and fired up on the first pull, I guess this leads to something beyond my skill set and needs to go into the shop. Dang.

    How do you ship gear for work?

    I did some tree work in New Orleans a few years ago, and rented everything from home depot, not climbing gear but saw/pole saws / even stump grinder, it was a shit show but worked ! By the way bananna tree removals are disgusting, so much water in them and found a cockroach nest in the middle of...

    Anyone been hit by a throw weight?

    I do the same as boom slang, and if you do catch them they hurt like a mofo, i usually try to move my hand out of the way last second. One of my guys had the ball break off in the tree, the line snapped back and zapped him in the tit, it left a huge welt he whined like a girl lol! Who knew the...

    201TC spark plugs

    A few times when it was wide open it would make a pop sound then shut right down and not restart until I replaced the plug. yesterday I went to cold start it , the saw tried to start but wouldn’t rev up , just ran for a few seconds then quit and wouldn’t restart. It’s about 3 years old and a...
