so i called the power company yesterday. they are sending someone out this week to assess the tree and if they deem it a hazard, they will remove it for me, free of charge. not only that, but they'll leave me the firewood too. the woman i spoke with actually thanked me for notifying her...

thanks jeff, but when you make comments about a post being "silly" or lacking "common sense" it is clear what your intentions are. i'll pray for you too. and i sent stihl o matic a PM. i am overlooking no one and as i've said 3 times now, am taking steps toward rectifying this situation. i...

wow!!! i ask a question less than 24 hours ago to see what my options are. now that i know i plan to go about handling the issue in a responsible manner as i just stated. how am i circumventing the issue??? how am i in denial???? i acknowlege the problem and will handle it. was it not worth...

hey jeff, why are you thanking everyone??? is this your issue? is this your problem? what is your stake in this? consensus here seems to be this is my responsibility, but even so, some posts indicate the power company will remove for me. this is why i made the post - to see what the popular...

there are different opinions here and i welcome all opinions, i just think it would make more sense to stick to the facts at hand. Some can make the argument that the land owner owes no duty to those outside his property to correct natural conditions on the property - even though those...

your dumbed down analogy doesn't really apply here. lets spin it this way. if your buddy knocks on your door and tells you he is going to murder someone, but you don't call the cops or inform anyone, and the next day your hazardous friend goes out and kills someone, are you at all responsible...

yes, i am acknowleging the tree is a potential hazard, but so has the town. they are just as aware as i am. i will call the power compnay aswell - thats a good thought.

so whenever a tree falls across the road and takes down the lines, the property owner has to foot 100% of the bill?

at the end of my driveway is a very old maple tree. it is on my property and not on the town property (the town owns 10 feet in from the street and this is about 15 feet in) it appears healthy, but is rotting from the inside out. the tree has a natural lean on it. it leans toward the street...

really? under 20 tons? then the ratings on the new log splitters must be super inflated. the 20 ton splitter at home depot looks like a strong gust of wind would blow it over.

thanks guys. anyone have an estimate on what the tonage rating may be? i saw a 35 ton unit at tractor supply that had a larger HP rating, but everything else was smaller, but i don't know how accurate those rating are in the first place..... so any idea on what tonage this splitter is...

i picked up a old splitter from craigslist last week. it ran ok, but needed some work. i cleaned it up, fixed broken welds, changed fluids and filters, tuned the motor, and replaced all the seals in the piston. now i'm hoping someone can help me identify it. it has a B&S industrial plus...

do you have a link you can post? i'm looking to update a dinosaur of a splitter with autocycle. thanks.

I was able to find some information on the motor based on the numbers above. It is a Kohler 8hp. 18 cubic inch, single cylinder. It is a "pump model" and features "retactable start". It was built in 1979. I don't know if its original to the splitter, but it likely is. So that gives me...

Someone I know has an old lickity splitter for sale. it was left at his house years ago and he never used it. the engine throttle controls are seized up, but i think its worth messing with. i've never heard of one before, but i did a bit of research and it sounds like they were good machines...

do you have a jig you use to ensure the correct angle? do you have a link to the tool you are referring to? where can i buy it?

i called a local power shop that sells chippers. they told me they send knives out to be sharpened. i asked for a per inch estimate and they told me just to bring it in and they wouldn't be sure what the price would be until it came back from their sharpener and that the rates are not...

for those of you that sharpen your own knives, what kind of device do you have? I have a cary bearcat 20hp 5" chipper with double sided knives. i use it quite a bit on my own property, and help out friends and family every now and then. i'm not using it everyday so i don't need a big...

is there a preference on which one of these 2 files to get? they are both the same price. http://www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=16020+DZ+532&catID=268 http://www.baileysonline.com/itemdetail.asp?item=15000+DZ+532&catID=268
