    What trailer for an Easylift 87-48AJ or 101-48AJ?

    Been thinking about getting one of these lifts for a long time. I believe there are some guys on this forum who own these machines. Not interested in loading it on a dedicated truck----do any of you use trailers? If yes, what lenght?

    East Coast Redwoods?

    A customer here in Norfolk, VA has a large redwood. It is somewhere between 80-90' tall and over 3' dbh. We severely cut back the vine-covered hackberry beside of it, because it was invading the redwood's space. (Also, the owner considers it a "weed", but his wife won't let him remove it. So, he...

    Am I Crazy?

    The trunk on this red oak was 40" where I cut it at my waist. It went straight up, and didn't taper all that much. I guess I dropped 36' of it between these two houses. I had a 16' opening 30' from the stump. The trunk was straight, with the exception of those last 6 feet of smaller section, and...

    Just for you Guy...

    Some picture of a pruning job we did this morning (only on the left side, ie. over the customer's yard). Tree on the neighbor's property, big cavity in the base. Felt good to take the job away from another larger company (not you Steve). They wanted to take off the 2 left laterals=9" cuts X2...

    Just an observation...

    Earlier this week we took down a healthy red oak. I was finishing up the splitting this evening when I came across this cut from years ago. At first it didn't seem so big, but as I split away all the woundwood, it measured out at over 10". I believe it was Ropeshield who stated once that if you...

    Is there a doctor in the house?

    Pink Tulip Tree (Magnolia campbellii) Landscaper asked me to come take a look. First thing I noticed is that years of improper mulching needs to be removed--find a root flare. Two crossed/fused limbs. We removed 2 lg pines from this front yard a year or two ago. Possibly a little compacting has...

    2005 Boxer TL427 Hydraulic Problem

    Just bought this unit from PA. Was a demo unit. Only has 170hrs on it. Starving for fuel initially. Fixed that with a new fuel filter & drained tanks (there was 3/4" of ice in the bottom fuel filter housing :eek:). Now everything works great--or so I thought :loco: Attached my new BMG...

    Anyone own a Boxer 526dx?

    I'm considering buying a mini, and wanted to get some feedback from you. I know the lift capacity is great, and I imagine the Perkins diesel is fine. The bad things I've heard have all been about the controls. What are your thoughts? Are they so problematic that they warrant looking at another...

    Remote TIP

    There was no way I was going to climb this silver maple. Fortunately to the left was a huge walnut, and a medium sized elm on the right. It takes a little more creativity, and a little more work when you don't have a bucket truck. I didn't rig any of the tree (probably wouldn't have tolerated...

    Alternative Loading

    This technique has evolved for us (2 man crew) over the last 2 years. There is heavy 2x6 bracing in the front of the truck. Attached is a winch. However, the winch is so slow that we switched to using a pulley for all but the heaviest rounds. It's surprisingly efficient--we loaded all the big...

    Troubled limbs

    Good evening. This is my first post, but I've been reading on this forum for some time. I've learned a lot from many of your posts. I have a strategy in mind for the limbs in question, but I would like to get some of your opinions. A customer has a large red oak which dropped a limb several...
