    Z style log loaders

    I am trying to get specifications together for a replacement chip truck, hopefully to be built early 2015. We are considering adding a Palfinger Epsilon log loader or Loglift loader to the truck. I know I have seen several of these loaders for sale on the site, and I think a few guys might...

    Morbark tornado 13

    We run one, a 2004 with a Deere engine and its up to about 2500 hours. It has been the back up chipper to our late 90's 2400, but for the last 18 months or so it has been our primary chipper since the 2400 just doesn't pull / crush brush nearly as well. We have been working the 13 just about...

    Ulmus americana Princeton

    Could also be phloem necrosis(elm yellows), I do believe Princeton is susceptible. Not sure how prevalent elm yellows is in your area.

    Best way to move big wood?

    A300 is nice and will move some really big wood, but I would be very cautious running it on lawns. I run one at work and even when your careful it does quite a bit of turf damage, mostly ruts, but turf / flotation tires would help there. My biggest complaint would be visability, you cant see a...

    Trees from a distance

    not a ginkgo either, its not a really uncommon tree. I see them here in the woods out deer hunting, the deer love the fruit as well.

    Trees from a distance

    no ones got it yet, here's a pic of the same species, but a bigger example. Fruit is edible, but you might not want to eat it till after the first frosts in the fall.

    Trees from a distance

    sorry, also not a hornbeam, or sugarberry. The bark, and fruit would be the most distinct characteristics of the species.

    Trees from a distance

    Well I guess mature size would be close to that, like 50-60 ft max. I really didn't know Parrotia would get that tall, never seen one taller then 20 ft or so, so excuse my ignorance on that one. They are not Acer, or Ulmus genus, but are native much of the eastern part of the country.

    good guess, this is a younger clump of trees and this species has a much larger potential mature size then parrotia

    Career choices & experiences?

    [ QUOTE ] Some cities are structured where workers are in the "street" department and trees fall under that umbrella. In that case sharing the passion for trees isn't there from my experience. But being departmentalized to specialize in one trade like "urban forestry" probably attracts...

    Bucket Truck Tips and Tricks

    We have one of the hydraulic saws, i personally hate it and unless you have a specific need for a dielectric tool I wouldn't want one. I think its heavy and awkward to use after a couple hours, and you have to keep switching the power from the boom to the tool ect. which seems to always slow me...

    Bucket Truck Tips and Tricks

    along the lines of the chainsaw scabbard, anyone have any preferences on the best way to carry a pole saw around with you. I have one of the extending jameson ones I like to use when pruning and was using one of the hydraulic tool holders strapped to the boom, but it has banged into one to many...
