Big storm here a week ago left us with a lot of non-vertical trees to deal with. Tree in the third/fourth pictures was an interesting puzzle: two guy lines on the uprooted tree (which was over a service drop), plus another guy line on the tree I used for my climbing line, since it's root plate...
Yeah, our system is totally screwed. My wife and I just renewed our plan on the marketplace at nearly $800/mo with a $7500 deductible! It's pretty much worthless, but figure in a worst case scenario (cancer, major accident, etc.) our maximum out-of-pocket will be $30k instead of losing all our...
Some jobs around here are basically logging next to houses. Took down five 24-30" pines for a customer today with no clean up. Had to pull a couple hard against side lean and branch weight. Hopefully they'll all make it to the mill, as long as he can coordinate getting them hauled out of there.
The yoke lift stopped working on my Bandit 150 yesterday. The hydraulic crush still works, so I'm guessing the issue is in the control valve and not the cylinder. When I pull the handle for the lift I don't see any sign of activation (no pulse in the hydraulic line). Looks like a new valve is...
Thanks! Yeah, did everything on my own. The timber frame and the board and batten came from my friend’s mill. I have sent some logs his way, but nothing specifically for this project.
Got most of the finishing touches done on our wood fired sauna build last week; just in time to fire it up while my in laws were visiting. Looking forward to spending a lot of time in there this winter :) Stock tank set into the deck for cold plunging. There's also a small changing room not...
This is what I used for my setup:

The total length with end caps is 8' 11" with a precise fit inside.
Is the run time on the Forge batteries comparable but just with higher power output or do they somehow also run longer with the same amp hours? I'm still just running regular M18 8ah and 12ah.
I love the pole saw. It's also designed to fit perfectly in 6" PVC pipe so I mounted a PVC conduit...
Customer was asking me about one of their Red Oaks. They're pretty plant savvy and noticed that the leaves on the lower branches were dying rather than turning like the upper branches. I'm no disease expert, but possibly Tubakia leaf spot? Any other ideas? Also lots of sap sucker damage, but I...
Mine is an older model so definitely a different sensor. But maybe try searching for a mag pick up based on your engine model, then confirm the length and threading and I bet you’ll find one for half the price or less. You may have to wire the plug from the old one on though (which I had to do...
I had to replace the tach sensor on my Bandit 150XP when I first got it. Unfortunately I had to buy it through a Bandit parts dealer since all I had was their part number. But when I got it, I googled the generic part number on the sensor and realized I could have bought the same thing for a...
My policy is through Ohio Mutual and they cover everything under one policy: GL, commercial auto, and inland marine. Maybe see if there's an agent near you who works with them to get a quote. I definitely seem to be getting a pretty good deal from everything else I've heard.
