    2018 Black Friday/ Cyber Monday/ Holiday deals and discounts Mega Thread

    Tapered Hinge: Diar(y)rhea of a thread gone wrong and left un-moderated

    Then why keep arguing it! Beranek for sure. I busted out my copy of high climbers and timber fallers this morning, just to see how old this “plate cut” really was. It’s really cool looking at those pictures from back when men were really men! To fell a tree, J. jepsom (sp). I don’t own a...

    CMC HD Arbor Pro Spider Lift

    Unfortunately in this day and age this is so far from the reality it’s not even funny. Salesmen are so intent on getting that sale, making promises the service department can’t or won’t stand behind. The only companies they actually treat decently are the ones that buy two or three machines...

    Oh no! Why are you selling it? You are supposed to be building it into a killer chip truck!

    Tapered Hinge: Diar(y)rhea of a thread gone wrong and left un-moderated

    Photo credit to Daniel! You can call it what you want, the industry has its own words for it. Holy crap. I have a very hard time reading your material. I don’t know how it all works but is it a translation?? You are right there is quite a crowd of full grown bulls, but in farming you have...

    Tapered Hinge: Diar(y)rhea of a thread gone wrong and left un-moderated

    Those locust hinges are ugly. Ok maybe not the hinge as much as the bypasses on the face cut. If it was all that important why not fix it? You can see the flat marks the saw left behind and the hinge breaking behind it. I call it angry beaver syndrome, see it all the time with young guys...

    Tapered Hinge: Diar(y)rhea of a thread gone wrong and left un-moderated

    I’m sorry but you don’t need fancy computer generated pictures that generalize the effects of a tapered hinge. Get off the key board and go out and cut a few. Rico is right! Even your general pictures are going to get someone hurt. The one key ingredient that experience has over theory is...

    Does anyone use HomeAdvisor?

    Run... run as fast as you can in the other direction. Bad leads, wrong clientele, big moneys out and not s very good ROI. We had huge outlays of time estimating jobs that were never intended to be completed, driving around, sitting at the computer writing emails, following up on estimates...

    Looking for a job

    What that we are waiting till spring or we are so far away?

    Looking for a job

    We will be looking for a climber closer to spring. Feb or March or so. But we are a bit farther south and east. Arborist Enterprises is half way or so between in LanCo. I would guess that they are in the same boat looking to put crews on in spring.

    Study of chipper deaths

    “An in depth study”. “133 deaths identified”. It sounds like someone had a couple hours to kill and did a half a$$ed job looking at where they can shut down another working mans industry, or at least make it so difficult it’s not worth the time and effort to continue. This number seems wildly...

    @Aragorn Bill it was great meeting you and working with you last week. I hope we were able to help you out, and I your new gear treats you well. Please let us know if you need anything in the future or want to try something out. As you saw there is quite the pile of past “less efficient”...

    Plywood/mats on a hill

    The fence idea scares me. It will certainly deform and if one of them gets stuck in a lug on a tire. If you don’t catch it wrapping up you could have a serious with wire wrapped around the tire, axle and everything else important. We have very good success with trak matts, especially if it’s...

    Tapered Hinge: Diar(y)rhea of a thread gone wrong and left un-moderated

    More importantly than a tapered hinge I tend to off target the notch the opposite direction of the lean. Only a few degrees normally and never more than 45 unless we are going exactly 180 and of course ALWAYS dependent on species and sometimes temperature.

    Hobbs device

    If we are letting pieces drop into it we are using the aluminum bollard or more often a port-a-wrap. The winch is for lifting which is done to avoid the drop and subsequent shock loading. Yes if improperly used 10,000 pounds is very easily reached. Really when you talk in terms of shock load...

    Hobbs device

    Yup, Mr. good proved the Hobbs was a stronger device very early on and published a video of him dropping a Volvo onto both devices. if you haven’t watched it you should!

    Red Maple Variety ID

    Is it too old to have the newer (past 15-20 years) varieties of the red maple species? Looks like a really cool book, burlap cover?

    Red Maple Variety ID

    Thanks for you vote of confidence. I am well aware of the diversity question and problem. This development actually has a great street tree diversity when looking at it as a whole, pin oaks, willow oaks, red & sugar maples, zelcovas and even some green ash. It was like someone had a clue when...
