    Smaller top handle recommendation needed

    Not trying to derail the gassers, but much of the fatigue comes from vibration, the new Husky electrics, with the smaller battery to keep the weight down, work extremely well with a properly sharpened chain. I run 2 on my truck with 2 x 200ts for slightly bigger trees.

    What rigging rope do you prefer is good.....

    In case some of you don’t realize there is another method. Sometimes there is a slope or area you need to deal with and negative blocking seems the only way. But often you can loosely secure a bull rope at the top and bottom of tree and sling the piece for free fall, to be restrained by the...

    I’d like to think that people have better things to do with their time and lives than swim in the pond of shit that radical thinking promotes.

    Is this tree dead?

    Also bear in mind that when trees get bigger they may crack the concrete.

    Is this tree dead?

    That's my rant, if these trees were human beings they would be sick and diseased people and the first injury they got would likely kill them.

    Is this tree dead?

    The very first image shows the classic" tree suffocated by concrete" image that always concerns me. Raked yards, gravel and paved walk/ driveways. None of this promotes healthy plants. Bad or no drainage, bad or no aeration, no duff layer- the only decomposition taking place is the starving...

    Is this tree dead?

    Yes the soil in the boxes is doing nothing to feed or support the tree and everything to rot the bark and promote additional decay. The drip line is the area around the perimeter of the canopy and is typically where all the root business is conducted.

    Ouch! Sounds like faith in democracy is beginning to slip? It is doomed to fail like all the other attempts at society within the capitalist framework. Just a matter of time. The next major war will be faught with guns and finished with sticks.

    Is this tree dead?

    Also, to add to your understanding. The tree can snap and lay over on its side and if the outer cambium layer is still attached to the roots the tree can be alive! That is if enough of the cambium is attached. I have a willow that was blown over in a strong wind last year and we cut most of it...

    Is this tree dead?

    What he said, not a good idea to bury above ground bark. Also it’s good to think of the trunk of a tree like the foundation of a building. If the foundation isn’t that strong it limits how high the building should go, so some canopy reduction to reduce lever forces and sail would be beneficial...

    What rigging rope do you prefer is good.....

    I normally use 1/2” for all the little stuff, including the top, because it’s light. The swap to 5/8 or 3/4 for blocking out the medium wood. For large trees I step up to 1”. I couldn’t do my job with just one rope for rigging.

    holy SHIT !!!

    I agree and I double down on that, if a complicated situation arises the client needs to be aware it will need more scrutiny to be safe, the cost is theirs to bear. I do not sacrifice my safety or anyone else’s for their garden or house! Period! No amount of money is worth my kids growing up...
