    9/16 rigging rope ????

    I would second the arbormaster, has a working load limit about the same as the 9/16th xtc. Bonner, for future reference can you guys order the 5/8 xtc, looks like it wouldnt be a bad natural crotch rope at a 1000lb wll.

    Trees from a distance

    robinia's got it, tough a$$ trees. This one was here long before the office and apartment development that were built about 40 years ago around it. It has been growing in a strip about 5 ft wide between to retaining walls separating the street and a parking lot for most of that time, pretty...

    Carb on 200t

    A 200t carb isn't too bad of a job if you are somewhat mech. inclined, I sure as heck wouldnt pay someone $91 to do it. Deciding whether to repair or replace is really dependent on what the problem is. What were the symptoms that caused you to take it to the shop in the first place? A repair kit...

    Anyone done a Grapple/Chipper Truck Combo?

    not to hi-jack this, but has anyone done one of the palfinger epsilon or log lift z style loaders on a chip truck, and how do you like it. We will be replacing a chip truck I imagine in the next few years and was thinking about this as well. It would be awesome for us to get one with a debris...

    EAB in Colorado. Advice Please.

    Re: EAB in Colorado. Advice Please. I do know some around me are using safari with pentra bark, I personally have not. I believe in some of the trials around this area they have seen some effectiveness with safari. As far as labor differences between mauget and tree IV, tree IV is going to be...

    Thank you Treestuff!

    440 with carb issues, how much for a carb?

    I would save the money and just do it yourself, carb rebuilds are pretty strait forward, and its really good knowledge to have if your running saws all the time. Have you taken apart and looked at the old carb yet? Most likely you would just need a repair kit for whatever zama carb you...

    Phil, I have noticed the same thing, even when they are infested they seem to hang on a little longer then the green ash.

    EAB in Colorado. Advice Please.

    The City I work for has been infested since 2010, and we have been issuing treatment permits for City Trees since 2009. I look at every city tree before it gets treated. I have also been treating some of the City trees myself and overall we have had good success with trees that have been treated...

    service drop grown into tree

    Yes, it is the 110 that is grown into the tree, the other line is lower, and on the other side of the crown. I appreciate the input, and dropping the line will defiantly make the job safer, and easier. Now hopefully the leaves will be off by the time we get back out there, Sycamore's and my...

    I was checking out a work order to raise / crown clean on a mature Sycamore today and I saw something that I was a bit uneasy about before starting the job. The tree has a residential service drop and streetlight service running through the lower part of the crown and one of the wires is...

    Great video, and that's a huge coffee tree. I would really like to see how those boards look finished, whatever they used them for. Has to be a unique piece for sure.

    EAB Removal Timing

    Unless you can ensure that your chips are no larger then 1" in any dimension you are not going to completely eliminate the EAB Larvae, also the logs would have to be debarked and then remove the outer inch of sapwood to ensure the logs are EAB free. Now with that said, if wood waste is going to...
