    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I've meant to post a picture. I have a 5x10x2 flatbed trailer with a long, straight tongue. I can jack-knife it 100⁰. The bed will hit the side of the truck before the bumper hits the tongue. Light enough to move by hand when empty with one person on pavement, 2 people on gravel. My tight...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Yep. I don't know that I will ever use it on jobsites. It can help with the sawmill. It's a small add-on to go with a new chipper and dump trailer. Getting ready for a new employee, sometime, and my college student aspiring climber, returning in June. Might sell my chip truck once I pick up...

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I picked up a 1-ton mini excavator from an auction. A bit for some small projects, a bit for mechanized firewood for personal use, a bit for experience, a bit for trailer and material moving around the yard, a bit for imagining how much a real mini-x could help with trees and expanded services...

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    I'm a scaffold knot kinda guy. DrenaLine doesn't knot well. Too stiff, yet bouncy. This is 2 years in a row of pruning, with a bit of training uprights into basically horizontal orientation.

    Consider a heavy duty Load Handler. It is only on the truck when needed to fill work unloadables. https://loadhandler.com/product/lh3000-commercial-grade-full-size/

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I have a bolt-on swivel caster with pneumatic tire for my chipper. A caspstan winch would be more versatile. I have a Simpson capstan that I run with an MS361.

    Short vs. Long Bridge?

    Short. Sometimes a double bridge. I have a Camp Gyro on my MCRS. My petzl accepts 2 bridges. Thought I might get a second for twin SRS that is needed at times.

    You might give that termination a tightening, or it could be the pic.

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    "Both"... It's a 6-lug axle, flatbed trailer It's a 5x8 trailer with a short tongue triangle. Fits tight driveways, movable by hand. Barely fits my mini or stumper. Hold 5 yards of chips or full of wood. Sometimes I push my chipper into a tight space next to the tree, then push in the...

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    Yes. I didn't climb that high. Very much a rushed, spur of the moment favor (dry, sunny, and short on time in the moment and dormant season). Leaving more leaves for this round of pruning while getting rid of a bunch of weight. Hopefully there will be more sprouts starting low to thin...

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    Which picture? This was very quick work and by no means complete. Over several years, I'll try to get the height down to an an easier level and smaller overall size as there is already an overabundance of fruit and clean-up. The last son living on the property, my friend Charlie, is 75. The...

    Tell me about cottonwoods

    Looks like thinning without limb- length reduction. Is that correct?

    Helping my neighbor with very neglected orchard trees as part of my day. 10' ladder. Opposite side before After These old trees have been blowing apart in storms. This is an aggressive approach to pruning that would be better done in more stages. Regenerating young wood for fruiting...
