    Brush trailers

    Hey folks, I've sort of found a niche market in pruning over the last couple of years and do most of my work with a utility trailer, contracting a chipper if the job warrants one. This year I'm looking at making a few mods to my current utility trailer and am looking for some ideas on raising...

    Question for gear heads

    Hey folks, I'm not the mechanically inclined type but lately I've been trying to improve my knowledge on the subject. I've got a question that is probably obvious but I haven't been able to find the answer. What mechanism causes the chainsaw to start in high idle? I'm guessing that choking the...

    Charging interest on late payments

    Hey guys, How do you guys work this into your contracts? What is the time period and rate? I have a really good client that I subcontract for but payment seems to be a lingering issue. I don't want to ruin the relationship but he's starting to take advantage of my generosity and I need to come...

    Phannerman "The Fails"

    Good of Lawrence to put up some of the not so glamourous aspects of tree removal. There's nothing quite like the gut wrenching "oh fuck" moment when you realize you or one of your crew have misread a situation. Recover, review and remember.

    Battery powered pruners

    Hey everyone, I have a few jobs coming up that I could use a power pruner for. Does anybody have experience using the battery powered versions of the Stihl or Husqy extensible power pruners? I've seen a view of the promo videos and they both seem underwhelming powerwise. I'm hoping to demo a...

    New helmet

    My ol' trusty Kask is about due for a replacement and I'm looking for advice on a replacement....or rather accessories that will fit a replacement. I want to find a mesh visor that will fit a Kask or Alveo. When I say fit I mean when it's down it covers the whole face and when it's up it stows...

    Consultation pricing

    Hey all, What do you charge for tree valuations and tree protection plans for construction? My past experience has been in the public sector so I'm unsure what the going rates are for this type of service. Thanks

    tREX

    So it's been out for a little while now. Are people liking it? How is it holding up to wear? Is it really as sexy as it looks? I'd trade a little strength for a product that will pick less and hold up to regular abuse longer than tenex. Let's hear it, thanks.

    Run it in the crotch

    I'm looking at getting a new line this year and wondering if anyone can help me narrow one down. I usually rig through a block or pulley but I do use the odd natural crotch so I need something that's fairly abrasion resistant, in the 1/2 to 5/8" range. I thought of going 16 strand but I've...

    Leaf art

    A while ago someone posted a link to a page where an artist had made some interesting pieces with leaves. I've been trying to find that post but haven't had any luck. Anyone have any leads? Thanks
