    Willow Tree Hit By Rain / Wind...Growing Fast??

    If it were mine and I for some God awful reason wanted to keep it I'd prune early spring before leaf out to nip any obviously undesirable growth before it happens, late spring after leaf out and again late summer while it's still in leaf. Around here they're one of the last to drop their leaves...

    What model Pfaff is that @Tom Dunlap? Is it converted to 110 or do you have a 220 wall outlet for it?

    Breakaway lanyards

    Can't see it in the photos but I used a key chain on this crane tie in / bomb the wood Ash. Edit looked closer, you actually can see it.

    My strategy for annoying customers: -If I'm flying my lift go straight up, you can't hear anyone from 90' up. -If it's a T&M job straight up ask them if they can afford to slow the job down. And my secret weapon- bitch about dog shit in the yard (this one works 100% of the time)

    I don't risk it, even on the slightest grade I have the outriggers out whenever tracking! The only reason all 4 wernt out here was the headstones so I just kept the downhill pair folded out. I had one track sink one day on completely flat, level, dry, hard ground to the point it started to tip...

    I love it, it's actually a personally owned saw I use at work. I've let a lot of the guys run it and everyone loves it, they're all pressuring the boss man to get them for us! Yep, mechanic brought it as backup incase he couldn't fix the giant. Everyone hates them lol.

    Hit the limit, rest of the pics from last post Kyle breaking out the 395 to fell the silver maple spar followed by 2 hours of grinding while I did 2 deadwood prunes on remaining trees. Jeremy (company mechanic) saving the fucking day with hand tools in a random back yard and then a photo of...

    Crane jobs all week, Ethan (crane OP) brought his good camera to a couple so i have really good action shots of me! Monday was the sugar maple behind the house (climbing) and bombing the dead Ash into the woods tied into the crane with both manual extensions out at about 112' side reach...

    Literally everything you need to know is in the books that come with the tests, get the main one and all (3 I believe) recertification courses. Memorize the approach distance chart, be able to ID each part and know what it does (not in detail, think along the lines of a CDL Pretrip test) They...

    "Those guys" perform a necessary service residential companies neither have the time, the manpower/equipment nor the knowledge/certifications to undertake. I don't love what they sometimes do to trees and I couldn't do it myself but to hate a whole group of arborist (yes you can call SOME of...

    If you're not EHAP certified none of those trees are technically climbable. Having said that, several of the side-hustle guys at my work (where we're all EHAP) would definitely do so, I don't do side work at all (and if it were a written up work order on the books it'd all already be figured...

    Climbing pants

    I wear saw protection (clogger zeros) once a week in the summer heat, if that. Like if I have a day of felling or a big crane or climbing removal where it's gonna be essentially spar work the whole time. Other than that I wear truewerk T2 pants for general climbing and prunes or very hot days...

    RopeWrench Ropewalking Setup - - SOLD

    How is the petzl basic used in this setup? Is that smaller loop on it for tending or racking? It looks professionally stitched, I'm guessing it's a pre-"wrist rocket" Climbing Innovations thing?

    New Log Truck- PALFINGER

    That's us, we dont chip shit. We also regularly use the grapple to pick wood after we brush out removals. Eleminates lawn damage and a lot of bigger rigging (yes I realize there's rigging in the below photo but only till we had the wood low enough to grapple out). The good old Prentice 2124...

    TreeRex Heads up.

    I saw the notch advisory last week and put it up on the board at work for the 3 guys we have that fly the sentinels, didn't realize my treerex was effected too! Though I keep an eye on it anyway.

    Multi-function joystick - how to release hydraulic pressure

    Odd, what year is yours? Ours are 2-3 years old but I wouldn't imagine them taking useful options away. That change would seem counterintuitive... Boom in/out are buttons on the left side of stick and have a corresponding lever just behind the stick, grapple open/close are the buttons on the...
