    New TreeBuzz Ad Format???

    Well, I guess I won’t be dishing the likes out so much anymore. Hey, no one take this personally. It’s not that I didn’t like your post, it’s just that I can’t press that button anymore without it being an ad in disguise.

    New TreeBuzz Ad Format???

    I get where you’re coming from with all the bombardment, but I also wonder if the advertiser has any say over how the site is working.

    I regard to your log trailer, I was just spitballing into the ether, not really trying to convince you of anything. It’s more of my brain releasing the pressure of ideas. In regard to a mini excavator, I will say that in my market and for the varied type of work I encounter, there is no better...

    New TreeBuzz Ad Format???

    Great! So funny because I just tried to “like” your post and got a new tracked lift window. All good, and I don’t want to come off like am overly squeaky wheel. When originally posting, I actually wondered if it was just me or a small minority or users. Growing pains will eventually pass.

    Just go all out and look for a smallish FARMA boom with outriggers and a grapple. These things come as small as ATV trailer sized on up from there and are super useful as well as reasonably affordable for their overall value.

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    I can’t like your post without opening an ad, but at least I can reply. We met our sometimes guy while he worked at a bird sanctuary. We took the kids there and somehow started talking. Said he was interested in part time tree work in the future when he planned to leave his position and start...

    New TreeBuzz Ad Format???

    Just tried 4 times to like a post in the ‘Today’ thread. Every time I carefully tapped “like” it opened an ad. Just using Safari on an iPhone.

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    I’m starting to think work/life balance is open to interpretation. Maybe someone want 8 hours on 5 days a week and be completely punched out at all other hours. For me, it’s more about “working” in a way that fulfills my life and I think self employed tree work is a nice path.

    Well felled and looks like plenty of save out! All that flare reminds me… I worked with a gent that got his start in Maine. His name was Jay and he came part time to help with a huge job down in CT. We were there for over a year. Lots of large stems. Lots of veneer. Lots of archaeological sites...

    Love tree work. Not the tree business.

    As a very young kid, my parents were pillars in my community. My father pioneered a large commercial fishery from the infrastructure to the market itself. He employed a lot of people and make a lot of money. The problem was that he really didn’t want to be a fisherman, or even run a business for...

    Single whip is very easy to reeve and attach to the pill. Multiple whips (or parts) can take more time to reeve and is usually only required for final trunk wood. The hoisting speed also drops down considerably. In the case of my crane, the pill is 2 plates with a removable center pin. In...

    Tree oddities

    I can’t speak to vigor due to the process unless it has to do with root mass to stem size ratio. It might take a bit for the roots to build up on larger layered stems. I have also seen the bonsai gardeners will use the technique to create new trees of larger size much more quickly than from...

    Tree oddities

    One of these days I want to get into cloning via “air layering”. Once I learned about the technique I’ve been fascinated but also too busy to ever try it.

    The winch is definitely a powerful option. One of the first spider crane jobs I did was in a 10’ wide area behind a house. We did the tree with next to zero slewing, and really only extended to begin and retract to finish. These spidey winch wire ropes should really be understood to stay in 50%...
