    We ran some natural structure rigs a few days back. Sometimes requires a routing trick or two in hardwoods, but clean and simple and most often quick.

    I would assume they determine a safe center point load in full horizontal span arrangement, but have no data to confirm that. Perhaps it could be confusing if that means a 10k axle is safe on a pair of ramps and each supports 5k? Maybe their website explains the ratings. My entire track machine...

    Ordered from: hdramps.com My bro and I have both ordered a bunch over the years. They’ve all held up to date.

    Thank you! The E26 is now sold to another tree bud of mine and he’s loving it. Still have the Morbark which gets the job done.

    Or go to the aluminum ramp option. They might cost more than a box of screws, but they clean easily and you can choose a long enough scope you don’t worry about traction. They double as bridge structures too!

    Topping, Pollarding, or what??

    Whatever the choice, that tree requires future management. Pollard on a 2 or 3 year interval would be my recommendation other than R&R.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Looks good from the outside and as usual for that type of reduction from the inside. How well does that species form new growth on old wood? We get mixed results on evergreens out my way…some can fill back in amd others are tough and we have to work with what we’ve got. One property in...

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    Especially on highly excurrent species. Around here, White Pine and most any Maple present the least options for a natural aesthetic since they often shed a great deal of interior growth on their own.

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    So much to say here…lots of great points already. I did watch the whole video with time I didn’t really even have, and did my best to catch the major drift. 1) Tree work SHOULD be relatively expensive in order to retain knowledgeable, intentional, and highly skilled talent within all facets of...

    Mecanil Rake

    I appreciate that post, though it sounds nothing like his “handle”. He’s got a couple parallel, outward facing angle irons for the tips of each grapple time to nest into. Shaped kinda like… >—< …if that makes sense. Might be a BMG because I know he bought a rigid rotating grapple from them...

    Mecanil Rake

    My bud bought one. Not a Mec, maybe not even a BMG, but I noticed it needs some kind of kickstand to keep the “handle” off the ground in order to grab it. Once in the grapple, it seemed effective but watching the poor guy trying to pick it up was less enjoyable.

    You might get an excavator one day, and it might be the same day that you could feel it’s the one thing you’d want to keep and sell everything else. I love tree work and all, but an excavator is exceptionally versatile and capable. “I wish I didn’t have this mini excavator.”…said no man, EVER!

    Same here. Eastern Red Cedar is hit or miss around here. If you make larger cants or beams, it will hold together better, but smaller dimensional lumber is tough with all the deep, included sinuses they tend to form. I’d be very hard pressed to find a Cedar cross section that didn’t look like...
