    Want to Sell MT85 Mini Skid Steer

    I am considering a sell since I am moving out of state. Unlike my chipper and stump grinders, I have some justifiable agricultural uses for the MT after the move. I am willing to consider reasonable offers for this machine by text. It has narrow tracks for gate access into hard to reach...

    Want to Sell Chipper, ALTEC DC610 w/ 880 hrs

    Would you climb this?

    Disclaimer: From the photos I can't see what you see. I'd say yes I'd climb if everything is crash and burn to the ground. Would consider bore cutting when taking the top. Would be extra careful for pealing and sharp edges on cambium that would lacerate a rope or lanyard. If...

    Regulation in the industry

    I think some regulation is overboard. Some of this talk about coalitions, tree wardens, and the like is not really the right path. I look at Maryland as a model of what not to do. The biggest revolution in stabilizing rates and making fair competition in my opinion is not insurance...
