    Giant 45" DBH Quercus rubra in SW MI structural issue

    I have to say I think this would be a good candidate for sonic Tomo. I also have to say that retaining the tree would have to involve some extensive reduction to get the tree to lower its center of gravity. If it is going to be retained, work must be geared toward a large amount of pruning over...

    Giant 45" DBH Quercus rubra in SW MI structural issue

    Cleaned this wound in 2007/8. I am concerned about the loss of the structural supports. Overall tree is balanced on its good side. It is relatively protected from neighboring trees. Sits in lowland next to many similar trees. Protection from wind throw is strong on the side it is weakest. To go...

    New chipper purchase.

    Hmmm interesting, anybody want to chime in on Vermeer? I have been researching morbark for a while and I do like their simplicity and beafyness. I have had my bc1000 for 16 years. It has been very reliable. The 3 times it broke down I would take it up to my Vermeer dealer and they would have a...

    Incredible damage!!!

    Can you give me some contact information? I would love to get somebody down here and take a look at this. It is a very unique and unusual situation in my opinion. The trees and the root balls are still on site. But not for long. I will be cleaning up there next week

    Incredible damage!!!

    Sorry, been crazy busy!!!! That's obvious from the pics. The failures were unique, but the damage was not contained to one yard. There was widespread damage, snapped of pinus resinosa 10 to 14 inches w no structural issues. Many other trees down from rootzone failures. Mostly oaks. All root...

    New chipper purchase.

    My 2001 bc1000 broke down yesterday and I am contemplating buying a new 15 inch chipper. I have had a huge success in researching what I buy in the past that resulted in 2 great acquisitions. With the chipper it seems a no brainier and I am wondering if I am missing anything. Here are my...

    Incredible damage!!!

    Buchanan Michigan. A four minute rainstorm. Heavy rain loaded the trees and then they must have had a straight line wind or microburst. She had 8 of these come over in her yard. 3 of them ended up on her roof. Spent 2 days cleaning up just debris on roof with gehl 540 and 3 guys. Yard still...

    Dead (and Undead) Wood

    Nice post!!!! An urban tree is not at home. It suffers from day one. That is why we ,the arborist, exist. The woodland / forest tree is at home. It doesn't need our help and ANYTHING we do to it is harm/ stress. urban tree = human on life support. ... And eventually Mother Nature takes...

    Flipped gehl al540

    No seat belt, I asked first thing after I knew he was ok. He said he just held on and rode it over. I will have a more detailed discussion with him after the holiday. I have decided to process the incident and then attack it with a tailgate training with a review of the incident, precisely aimed...

    Flipped gehl al540

    Yes everyone is ok! He was pretty shook up. I think more from knowing he just fucked up the bosses new machine. Thanks for all the input. I am glad to hear these thibgs flip a lot and there seems to be little issues. It is a fantastic machine and I would choose it over a skid steer again and...

    Flipped gehl al540

    It tipped in exactly the position it is now. From what I know about operating it three things led to the tipping point. 1: he is on uneven ground 2: he has it articulated downhill meaning the wheels are closer together on the downhill side 3: his load was also loading the machine "down hill"...
