    Ban bamboo.

    Right ...but I was thinking it'd also be hard to get 100° with boiling water more than an inch or so... especially in any kind of volume enough to do much good. Might kill a patch, but those rhizomes will be grown back before you get the next pot boiled LOL. With the sunlight, I'm just...

    Ban bamboo.

    If 100° killed bamboo, it seems like it could never grow in a sunny spot anywhere in the southern United States. Heck, I'm in Northern Ohio and we will get days that touch 100° in the shade periodically. Obviously depth is a big consideration. And like you said boiling water will cool down...

    What else will you kill in the soil at those temps?

    How do you handle diesel fuel for your equipment?

    Another thing to consider: Which piece of equipment and how much fuel will you be using? If it's not an over the road piece of equipment (truck) you are allowed to use off-road diesel and not pay highway taxes. I cannot get that around here unless I take bulk delivery. We don't use enough to...

    Samson Tango Ivy splice type?

    Class I eye spice, right? It sounds like the "when to use" Class I vs Class II is based on rope material? I cannot find the material that Tango Ivy is made from...but assume polyester like most other 24 strand double braid arborist lines? I've done 16 strand Class I. Am I going to regret...

    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    I might try one of those...but you are right: the others don't last long. I get the 12" blades. They are about $2 each. I use bolt cutters to cut them in half when the front gets dull. Doesn't hurt too bad to throw away $2 blade that has served its purpose. At $5 each...if it saves time...

    Ban bamboo.

    Entirely plausible. Obviously Cleveland Select was from Cleveland. It was supposed to offer better structure than Bradford. Which it is, but that's kinda like saying dog pile B smells not as bad as dog pile A. That also started the problem...each variety is not self fertile. When they were...

    Curved blade for reciprocating saws

    I have a 1 handed Milwaukee "Hackzall" that I use for roots. I've tried it for pruning and have thought it more tiring to use than a good Silky. However, pruning lower branches on some spruce last week, that thing was the bomb.

    micro-mini chainsaw...one handed???

    Fake for sure....but was listening to a John Ball update on the new Z133. He said the language is pretty explicit that all chainsaws require 2 hands, so he didn't think that even the little saws designed for one hand are OK per the Z. But I may have misunderstood.

    Ban bamboo.

    There is a whole list of those! I don't know that there is a great answer. Ohio has a growing list of banned non-native invasive species, but to make the list it has to be a proven problem. Well, once's its a proven problem it is like shutting the barn door after the horse is out. Strike...

    Ban bamboo.

    Callery pear (Pyrus calleryana) - cultivars such as 'Bradford', 'Aristocrat', 'Chanticleer' ('Cleveland Select'), 'Autumn Blaze' is what is being banned. The are very invasive in wild areas. But even before the states started banning them altogether, many cities prohibited planting them in...

    New device from ISC

    Same story at Christmas sales. I went to the Ohio Tree Care conference saying "if anyone will give a discount I'm buying it". Got 10% show disband think I got the last one there....amd maybe anywhere for now. Looks like it's back ordered everywhere I've seen.

    Add quick buckle to TM Essential

    OK...so just having something more substantial to pull. Makes sense. Thanks!

    Add quick buckle to TM Essential

    Oh for sure...I hated the adjustment on my TM (circa 2016ish). Would have to pry the webbing out with a screwdriver. It's manageable. I just know it's nice to step in and buckle. And if we can do that for $30 its money well spent. I don't think its as big of a deal for the leg loops.

    Add quick buckle to TM Essential

    I'm not picturing how this works. Didn't find anything in a search.... In that red look in my pic above?

    Add quick buckle to TM Essential

    Yes and no. Obviously, yes. But using a certified buckle doesn't concern me. The real question is how to attach that without actually altering the saddle.

    Add quick buckle to TM Essential

    Training a new employee...picked up a Tree Motion Essential for $300 at the tree care conference/tradeshow (new, but not the new model - Essential X... vendor cleaning out inventory of old model so sold it cheap). Anyhow, the adjustable waste belt is a little obnoxious to get the saddle on and...
