I have used JJ Mauget in the far past for direct elm injection fungicide. That stuff does seem to work. Just going to throw up a link so you can see the ingredients. Alamo Fungicide

Go out there and underbid some jobs a few times, lose your a... butt, a couple of times on some jobs and you will learn pretty quick what a good rate is. Every tree guy has done that, it is a great teacher and you will do it at some point. We can tell you how to run a perfect tree business but...

Oh yeah here are some pics from the last "meet up" we had. Good times, good times. But no one is going to ever show up if you tell them what happens Phil! Bring out the Gimp - YouTube

He is about $100 over on price. I have had my 385xp for 10 years and the 346xp for 2 years, and neither one of them has burned up. I would just say the guy clearly doesn't like Husky and likely does not know how to run a chainsaw. Call me crazy, but when I want to know how a certain chainsaw...

So you are giving your blessings on the ms201t, Andy? I mean my 020T still runs good and hot with a 16 inch bar, but it never hurts to have a backup waiting in the stable.....I mean as far as I am concerned what you say about chainsaws is gospel bro......

Arborwear is due for their spring sale, so if you are going to come out this way, you should tie it into that weekend. It is almost across the street from the Ramble Inn which serves great beer and burgers so shoot me a PM if you are coming to the Middlefield area.....Hell, if you are coming...

I have one of these and it is my favorite all around saw. The only thing is, the poor OP has decided he will only runs stihls, therefore he will be depriving himself of pure excellence. So sad.

He had me go look at two trees in an apartment complex, one was a pin oak and I think the other was a locust....did you end up looking at those also? Apt. complex was Golden something right there by 271 and Mayfield/322.

Hey Dan, is it that company from out on the west side? The way you described him sounds an awful lot like the one I spoke to back in late November, early December, especially the part about being able to handle their volume of work and logos on the door. The guy sounded like kind of a prick so...

Listen to this guy, he knows his stuff!

Good point on being stretched out and having to get your saw, didn't think about that one. I really like that idea using the homemade handsaw retainer clip. I have noticed that my Sugoi likes to make inappropriate exits from time to time without telling me. That in itself is a danger to the...

I personally never even considered putting mine on my calf. It just seems kind of weird and that it might work itself off. That being said, you could probably give it a try and if it doesn't work out, go back to wearing it on your saddle. I am right handed and wear my hand saw on the right...

Arborist Blocks for Tree Rigging and Removal I have used the CMI 3/4 and 5/8 blocks. Both work great. If you are going to be using a block a lot, and you aren't rigging out giant stuff, I would go with the 5/8 block personally. The reason I say that is because that 3/4 is heavier and more...

I haven't heard that before, but it is great advice. I personally use whatever size sling is the largest the block will take. For example, I have the 3/4 CMI block (I went a little overkill on that one) and use a 3/4 sling even though the largest rope I will probably run through it is 5/8...

I guess maybe I should describe my setup for lowering the heavy stuff. CMI Block, Samson stable braid bull line ranging from 1/2 inch up to 5/8. I also use a portawrap as a friction device. Since the rope is pricey, I like to get all the mileage I can out of it. Using natural crotches and taking...

Yeah I false crotch the big stuff in combo with a portawrap. Saves wear and tear on the rope and once you have it in place you can usually do a majority of the removal from one set. Just out of curiosity, why do you say don't use a natural crotch with the stable braid?

I like to stick to the tried and true stuff personally. Never heard of it myself but that doesn't mean anything. Just keep in mind that you usually get what you pay for. Oh yeah, and your life also may depend on it.

I am a big fan of the Samson stable braid myself. I have their 9/16 bull line and have rigged some seriously heavy things out with it. I figured since I wasn't tied into the tree that was supporting the weight and there wasn't anything in the path of the swing that I might as well test the rope...

For climbing and for firewood, Red Oak. Love the Dawn Redwoods, have three planted at my house. The Japanese Umbrella Pine is pretty sweet too. Hell, I pretty much like all trees except for Hawthorne.

Yeah that Tree90X is catchy, maybe we should make this the Tree90X thread?
