    Sudden Idling Issues After Cold Weather

    I might be lazy for bot wanting to thresh through the archives. Had it happen on an MS441 Magnum and an MS660 Magnum. Both have had the cylinder replaced in recent years (not sure if that’s pertinent). Haven’t changed fuel or anything. I feel as though I had them tuned well. The 441 might be a...

    Chemicals for roots in sewer?

    I had a client recently tell me that some city worker said she was having plumbing problems due to roots in her sewer line and to get a chemical (don’t know what) and to flush it down the toilet to kill them. She ran it by me and I thought it sounded like a bad idea. I’m very cautious about...

    Anyone know anything about Eastern Filbert Blight?

    Plant pathology and PHC aren’t exactly my forte but I’m always interested. I think I may have a Contorted Filbert with said Eastern Filbert Blight. Has anyone ever dealt with it and would you share what you know? I can upload pictures if need be.

    Clients say the darnest things…(or funny sayings on the job)

    Not sure this is the right place for this thread but here goes! I’ve been in the industry awhile now and one thing I’ve come to love about tree work are the stories that come on the job from either clients, onlookers, funny employers or silly employees. My old crew was never short of any of...

    Estimate sheets

    This might be silly but what do you guys use for estimate sheets? This far I’ve just used generic proposal sheets from Office Depot but I’ve been thinking I need to legitimize. Not much luck googling it either.

    I finally did it.

    So, I’m sure there is already a thread about this. It’s been a bit since the incident happened and I’ve put off sharing it on the buzz. I think I’ve still been processing it but I want to share it with peers because I don’t want it to go unchecked with myself. Mistakes need to be learned from...

    Anyone have a Hitch Hiker 2 dogbone they want to get rid of?

    Lost mine awhile back and I would really like to keep using it but the replacement dogbones are taking awhile it seems.

    Meidl Airstream boots

    Meindl Airstream Forestry boots, size 11/11.5 (Euro 45). I bought these at the end of last September as replacements for my everyday hikers (also Meindl). They were a little bulkier than I was expecting but I figured I would get used to them after they broke in and such. I ordered 11's due to...
