Here's another video I hadnt posted from 2019 when I was first experimenting with this l. This one didn't go perfect, I should have had the face more open and I probably went too deep on this one but it still accomplished its task of not damaging the driveway between slowing it down and the...
In general or one of these two trees in particular? The Birch I didn't do a backcut at all. A deep notch and opened the apex of the notch a bit. I think it might be called a step notch? Deep enough to be about 80% through and then pull with a machine. The back 20% is the hinge and it slowly...
Thats a different cut that I used for that Birch. I considered it for this Gum but I wasn't sure that I could pull over a 20" sweet gum without a backcut, and so I played it safe with an open notch and a thick hinge.
If the stump wasn't right by a couple Azalea bushes I probably would have...
I pulled some fibers today out of this Sweet Gum. I slowed it down enough to prevent any lawn damage on the sod.

I have this tool as well from harbor freight. I've only used it once to remove a hub on my old vermeer s600. From my personal experience, I bought the bigger model of puller for the extra umph but the hub was too thin for the jaws to grab before it stroked out. I had an extension made between...
Same here actually. I thought it was a fb hoax at first. Central Missouri and a cinnamon black bear hung out in town for about a week. This was last year and there had never been a bear sighting there before.
How about a rescue 8 and clip in with a steel carabiner? I'm not sure how well they maintain rope strength.
2nd the ropejack, thats my personal choice for hand pulling, miniskid to pull when it can get in position
You are right, but I work with multiple other companies. I was assessing the possibility of buying a couple of extra 30Ks and clipping them to whoever I was working with that day.
Currently everyone uses 10s or 20s which interchange
I have that in the footer of all of my quotes, its an equipment cleaning fee. I've yet to ever charge it, but I have reminded customers when scheduling the job. "Just a reminder of the dog feces cleaning fee, I noticed the area under the tree was frequently used by your pets"
Most are happy...
I'm also voting hydraulics for this task, however id go with a grapple rake over the BMG for this task. Not only rips it out, but can grade the dirt back in the hole and use as a bulldozer blade to move a bunch of uprooted brush to the pile.
Just looking at images, they look like they'd snag on limbs easier than other models. They are bigger and have sharper corners/less rounded.
That said, I'd like to try it out too for the increased communication distance and battery life

There is this ring as well. At first I thought it was the same one linked above, just at a more expensive price, but the spec sheet says it weighs more than double that other ring. Although the strength rating is the...
