    It’s most likely “brown rot.” It’s a fungus disease.

    Anyone ever had their chipper sandblasted and painted?

    We didn’t have to take anything off for the price we paid My only gripe was that they didn’t pull off the brand new aluminum fenders before they blasted. (Only four bolts per fender). It dulled them and made them look aged.

    Anyone ever had their chipper sandblasted and painted?

    In 2012 I had my bandit 200XP painted (purchased new in 1999). Total was $2500.00 Sand blasted Epoxy primer Paint It came out great. I’m sure the prices are up since 2012. Possibly closer to $4000.00 now

    Mesh/Tarp Roof for chip truck

    We used heavy mesh tarps for years. They worked great when we had only one dump truck for our tree business. We had them custom made with the heaviest mesh available.

    Species of Hawthorne?

    They suck…unless you need a really good armed shrub/tree to keep people out of an area then they are great! Better than a fence

    Tree Mek tips from experienced owners and operators

    I like what both of you have suggested and will probably combine both methods. Climbhightree. How’s that Cummins engine been treating you?? Any warranty work or issues with that engine?? I ask because I most likely will have a western star like you

    What trailer for an Easylift 87-48AJ or 101-48AJ?

    I think an 18’ mission is plenty for that easy lift. I have a 20’ mission rated for 10K. The trailer itself weighs 1500 lbs so the easy lift 87 would have you close to max capacity but would be under cdl class A. Mission will custom build your trailer and will add stronger axles and...

    Superior Power pole saw?

    I’m with Reach on the 131. It is super fast. Unfortunately it can be costly to repair the 131. After two years mine needed a $300+ repair. When i went to pick it up after the repair, there were 5 other 131’s standing with mine with repair tags…all shaft replacement. If you can avoid...

    Tree Mek tips from experienced owners and operators

    Great information guys. To those who have had a Mek for a few years or more, Can you discuss options/customizations on a new rig that you recommended (besides the mat rack, tool boxes etc.). Also, have the new tier four final diesels been problematic? Why or why not? (I ran all tier 2...
