It seems to me that after they have been gorrila fisted a time or three the damn things wont ever stay tight, unless you torque them in there real good with a big bar wrench. Maybe if Jack got some brand new caps and only ever torqued them on the same; grunt and a half or two grunts, no wrnech...

Ive seen them in white pine root systems that were still part of a living tree and other roots that were dead beyond recognition; but i couldn't say whether or not the termites were the cause of death or damage. They need water moisture to digest the cellulose. But i bet tree sap would put...

Hell yeah, that thing looks great, lets see some pics of rooster tails and stop watches! out of curiosity how many hours and dollars did it take to get running?

Damn shame, he was one of the good ones who did well by doing good. Thanks for taking the time to post that info JP.

He prolly just had a bad day at work, give him some time to cool down, everything will most likely be OK, no lawyers required. One of the line items on my bid sheets states that the authorizing agent assumes responsibility for local permitting, accuracy of boundary lines, and abutter...

That’s great Mark! Nice pics, this is like an online course “saw breakdown and repair 201” As a bit of history; that saw is my dads last pro model chainsaw, he is retired now, back home in Nova Scotia. I traded him for an 026 that I wasn’t getting much use out of. I ran the saw for a year or...

+1 ASD. A few years ago one of the crews around here had a similar accident that resulted in a dead ground woman. Magnum, I just noticed that your only 23, how did you learn about tree work?

38 DBH is alot of room to lose track of your bar. Did you double cut it? or did you have a 40" bar on? if you did double cut it are you sure that you didn't cut a dutchman into the hinge? I guess you said that your hinge broke even all the way across, so no dutchman. How wide was the hinge...

Oh, Midi will be delightful:heart: ! I mostly wear 8' or 10" boots, as anything taller seems to cause my feet to fall asleep. I have seen those hiker calks that you speak of, they might work well with my fishing vest, charcoal over red, and with all of the pockets i could carry earplugs for any...

Power Windows! :laugh:

slowp, how high do you think tin pants will be cut this season? I ask because i just got a new set of wool socks base black over teal, fox and geese, and i'm dying to show them off. And could someone out there explain to me what the heck is shovel logging? I heard the reference back a...

Welcome to AS Micke. I understood you just fine. Thanks for taking the time to post. I have been getting sick of Gatoraide, i think i will try your sea salt trick. As for clear pee, i think that it can also be caused by a lack of electrolites; meaning that you have used up all the salt in...

It's a great looking truck! Congrats, power windows are the best!:D

I currently use a ½” newengland rope wirecore with a ropeman ascender. Works pretty well, much more positive than an Idaho cam, and releases under tension easily. However, I am thinking about switching to 5/8” Kevlar 3 strand with a swedged cable core, attached with a becket bend or cats...

Tree, you bought a Dodge??? :pumpkin2: Wait till midnight :biggrinbounce2:

+1 Silent Elk, A chainsaw chipper is more versatile, and affordable; buy a trailer and line the inside with plywood, then you can jump in and start hacking with the chainsaw if it gets filled up. The thing about removals around here is that much of the time the wood is junk, so no one...

I have found a brush cutter to be much more effective then a chainsaw in thick material, especially on bad ground. As for the money; it sounds like you did right, good luck. As for elevating the winch line, perhaps you could bring the bobcat over and tie a block onto the loader to get some...

The skid steer and dump trailer might actually be more marketable. You could handle big chunky wood for companies without that kind of gear. If an outfit has been handling big wood by hand, once they see your machine take care of it they will never want to go back. Also most stump guys I know...

:laugh: isn't that the truth! +1

Ozy, It sounds like falling pull trees isn’t a thing with which you have a ton of experience. I don’t think that this particular tree is a good one to try something new with. Were it me I would climb up the supposedly solid tree next to, tie in at about 5 inch diameter, then come down and...
