    How many enjoy removals more than the tedious nature of pruning?

    I value both through preservation and hazard or dead/dying removal mostly. The trees are our future we are stewards of them for our children and grandchildren. I have been the removal specialist I have also been the prune specialist at different times. The pruning is more fun for me though some...

    6" or chuck and duck?

    The chuck n duck is a bit more risky though you will catch on quick. Its way faster if thats a concern otherwise a six inch will take you far. Ive ran both and am in the same boat as you im going with the c&d because speed is a factor for me. the six inch wont rip it out of your hand but if its...

    Cancellation Fee

    Its best to let it go you send him a bill, he writes a lying review about you. A potential bad for the rep these days at least around these parts. Good luck in your struggles and climb safe.

    what is the leading cause of blown out knees in our industry?

    Started when I was young been a little over 20 now in the hooks and i feel a twinge that comes and goes in my left though its probably more footwear related at the moment.

    Door Knocking/Sales and One liners.

    Full wrap handles

    If you aren't a Climber, Logger, or Arborist you won't see much advantage as it is mainly advantageous when blocking down a stub unless you really wanna run your saw left handed or something.

    Alright guys, meet the new love of my life!

    A real blast from my early days. That was the first larger saw I ran after the 026 and what a beast of a saw that was, some dreg lifted it one night I think pop forgot to lock the truck. They left both of our 020s though so they clearly wanted drug money and had no real idea of the value or he...

    small saw for limbing question

    Stihl MS192T it's a winner if you don't want the Caddy MS200T but she's over 500$

    With all the chinese fakes out there

    Ya your local Stihl shop has an interest in selling you a legit saw. If they are unloading fakes they would be finished and Stihl would have their ass if ya catch my drift 99.9% that it is authentic!

    With all the chinese fakes out there

    Ok I have been running Stihl my whole life and I had an 038 and an 044 that were assembled in Brazil. Have you ran many Stihl? I would fire her up and tell in about two seconds. I am gonna say good on ya it's a winner. Now if it's toast in 6 months.... JK you're good.

    ISA test questions

    Thank you all for your input, I believe I will be ok especially if it's more reading comprehension. Some of the sections were not even worth reading if you have experience. Thanks again for the well wishes all.

    ISA test questions

    I am wondering if I still have a good chance of passing The ISA exam if I have primarily studied the second edition study guide as opposed to the 3rd edition from 2010? What (if any) are the advantages of being a member of your ISA chapter as well as the regular ISA? Is the test that hard...
