    RigGuy versus Wedge Grip cabling wire stops

    I have been using the wedge grip cabling stops, (although I really hardly do any cabling). I love the simplicity and ease of use but I have had one of my cables slip out. Since I barely do any cabling having one of my cables slip out is notable. I saw some reviews on tree stuff where people...

    Over vs under CDL chipper???

    I have been running my Moorpark 17 chipper since I started tree work 16 years ago. It has been ridiculously reliable which is part of the reason why I have just kept it. However, it is getting fairly worn down at this point and could really use a refurbishing. I had looked into doing that last...

    Kask helmet question

    I'm just curious why it says on tree stuff that The Kask ear muffs will not work with the Senna communication systems? Why can't you put the speakers in that earmuffs like any other earmuff?

    BIK knuckle boom questions

    A local tree service is looking into getting a grapple saw truck, and has been looking into the BIK trucks. My understanding is they are PM cranes? I have heard several people tell me they don't like the PM cranes, but I know there are people on here who have them. I'm wondering how they compare...

    Miller PTO pro 75 stump grinder $6000

    One of the most productive PTO stump grinders ever made! This stump grinder is a very heavy duty unit built for commercial stump grinding, not just occasional farm use. (Although you could use it for that) I bought this grinder new for $11,000 including the cost of a New River / Sandvik wheel...

    Which grapple for Gehl 540?

    I recently picked up a Gehl 540 to compliment my Giant 254. On my small loaders I have always run branch manager grapples. However, that was mostly because they came with those grapples when I bought them. On my new loader I'm wondering if anyone has an opinion between a Ryan's grapple, a...

    Gehl 140 vs Giant or Cast loaders?

    I am contemplating upgrading from my Gehl AL-20 DX to a Gehl AL-140. I had been thinking about getting a cast, but the 140 is approximately half the price of a new cast. Besides the non-telescoping boom how does this older loader compares to the newer ones such as the giant 254t or the cast? I...

    Consulting arborist questions

    How many of you guys are consulting arborists? It seems like that maybe something to move into in the future to make money without actually having to do any work . Although I would have to become an arborist first... I imagine it probably depends where you are located, but is there money to be...

    Lettering a K boom

    I think I have seen a couple pictures in the past of knuckle booms that had lettering on the extensions so you could read it when they were extended. Does anyone have any pictures of how they've lettered their knuckleboom cranes?

    PPP vs EIDL loans

    Anyone sorted these out yet? I have been going back and forth with my accountant about the PPP loan. And I'm not sure if possibly the EIDL loan might be better for me. My challenge with the PPP loan is that I just changed my guys from 1099 workers to employees several weeks before we got shut...
