    What is the real kind and model please

    Yes welcome, and sorry for being somewhat of a jerk. Obviously I totally missed the original question due to my comprehension issues. I have learned something here as I had no idea that poulan made craftsman. Glad you got the answer you were looking for!

    What is the real kind and model please

    uuuuummmmmmmm.....................???????????? I'm going to take a guess that it is a Craftsman make and the model is a Pro 41416. If I had to take a guess, just a guess, I would say it is exactly a 56cc saw. If only the company who made this saw could put a sticker on it that told you what it...

    Purpose of small ring?

    I always tie my throwline to my rope during retrieval as well and for two reasons. First is if its a semi tight crotch and the ring gets stuck, you can re-set real quick and try again. Also, it gives you control so you aren't dropping life support out of the tree.I also use a wichards shackle on...

    Starting my own tree business

    Look into local magazines that target certain areas and put an ad in it. If you do good work, you shouldn't need to do this for long because word-of-mouth is a real thing. Don't worry about being the cheapest, but being the best. This line of work is tough and we all deserve decent pay...

    Norway Spruce Tree care information.

    Sorry if you already planted it. You want the root flare exposed. This is where the main buttress roots meet the trunk, that tapered area. Remember plant it high it will not die, plant it low it will not grow. Make sure to straighten out any circling roots that are visible so they don't become...

    A picture might help to. It would be good to see how much back lean you would be working against

    Norway Spruce Tree care information.

    Make sure not to plant too deep either. Norway spruce do pretty well in our area (Im in Boise) and your specific watering issues would most likely be in the summer. Emmett gets pretty hot and dry as you know

    advice on starting a small tree company

    Recently started my own business and its been good. My advice is, as a few others already said, start small and work your way up. I do my work with a ford ranger and a 4×10 trailer for now. I do mostly pruning and all on my own without the headache of employees and crazy overhead. On larger jobs...

    Those telemarketers get pretty old, pretty quick. Being a new busines I have found my best marketing to be an ad in a local magazine in a wealthy area with a 5% off coupon.

    Can I save this tree if I cut it down?

    I thought a thin slab of concrete would be a little better than roofing tar....hahaha!

    Plunge cut with trigger

    Surprised there arent more responses to this. Glad nobody was injured. Potentially too much force on the 5:1? Hope you took pictures and documented for future education regarding the bore release

    HomeAdvisor

    I recently got a text from them and I told them I wasnt interested in leads. They seemed to get pretty bent about it and how Im missing out because i dont even have to go look at the jobs and can give a quote over the phone or email. I educated them on how they should really learn how our...

    Ficus root management

    It would definitely be a lot of root barrier to do that. If going that route i would use a pneumatic excavator (airspade or airknife)

    Best cities to be an arborist?

    There can be if things are scheduled right. This year was a pretty bad winter here, the worst since the 80's for snow so work was part time for a few months. Last year was full time through the winter
