    acephate as a bark spray: Who has applied this way, with what product?

    Sean, is there a way to use emimectin benzoate other than injections? Mectinite is only for injections as far as I know. I've been noticing a lot of BTM nests in Topsham and Durham this winter, by the way.

    Have you used dinotefuran to control leaf feeding caterpillars? Thank you

    acephate as a bark spray: Who has applied this way, with what product?

    Have you had good control of pests with emamectin benzoate? I have the type by Rainbow, called Mectinite for micro injection, but I haven't used it yet.

    acephate as a bark spray: Who has applied this way, with what product?

    Since I wrote this post, I heard from Rainbow Ecoscience that acephate is not effective as a bark spray. I'll be using it as a soil drench this year, hopefully with good results.

    acephate as a bark spray: Who has applied this way, with what product?

    It's recommended by the labels to apply acephate as a soil drench or a trunk injection, but can it be used as a bark spray? I've heard one arborist talk about it, but don't know the specifics. The label says foliar application is okay....so it doesn't seem like a stretch.

    Hydraulic line quick-connect leak on Ditch Witch

    Thanks Sean. I was thinking of asking Sven about this. I've had this same grapple for over 6 years and suddenly it's started to act up.

    Hydraulic line quick-connect leak on Ditch Witch

    Thanks Reach. Yes I think I have reduced the tugging on the lines by re-routing the hoses differently than what you see in the picture. There is more slack available for fully extending the grapple. But, when you extend to full reach there's always some twisting force in both hoses that makes...

    Hydraulic line quick-connect leak on Ditch Witch

    I use the original Branch Manager grapple...it's a 2015. I've had my quick connect fittings wear out and drip fluid in the past, but over the last four months it's been a constant battle. I had the machine side male and female fittings replaced within the last twelve months. I've replaced the...

    T540ixp Chain and sharpener

    I've been running the T540i since this summer now and then. So far I'm not crazy about the bar and chain. The chain will sometimes hang up and not cut smoothly when I'm making a face cut or even doing snap cuts. I don't have that problem with my Stihl 201TC, so I suspect it's either the bar or...

    sk750

    I've had my SK750 for five years and have about 1,200 hours on it. It has been mostly trouble free. I've just had to replace wheel bearings, tracks just last year, and drive sprockets which should be done with new tracks. I'm pretty confident I can get another five years or more out of this...

    CMC lift failure

    Sean thanks for sharing this. Kyle has the 62' CMC. I'll tell him about the failure of the 83'. We should find out if the design is at all similar.

    Bandit 15xp running rough....

    I drove up to the dealership on Monday morning. They figured out that the distributor was bad. The mechanic showed me the old one and explained that the rotor is press on to the top of the shaft and plastic groves hold it in place, which had worn because of the vibration. The new Carquest...

    Bandit 15xp running rough....

    I'm sorry to report that replacing those parts did not solve the problem. When we idled the chipper up on Thursday it started misfiring again. I'm hauling it up to the dealership tomorrow. I left the job with a 1/4 load of chips and a pile of brush in the truck :(

    Bandit 15xp running rough....

    Napa had the right cap and rotor. We replaced those and the spark plugs. The engine sounds good now. Fingers crossed for chipping tomorrow. The buzz archive on this was very helpful.

    Bandit 15xp running rough....

    Thanks Sven. I’ll check it out. I’m off to Napa to get new plugs. I’ll see if they have a cap and rotor that fit.

    Bandit 15xp running rough....

    A week ago we noticed some small backfire noises while the chipper was at high idle. I added dry gas and changed the fuel filter but it hasn't improved the situation. It's a 2019 with a 5.7L GM gas engine. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm going to post a video so you can hear what it was...
