Lol tell Pete anything. Don't you know what Ctpa stands for? Connecticut tree protective association? My arse. Can't tell Pete anything!
I have to say its amazing what the trees look like two to three years after a good spade job. We've brought some really bad trees back.
What a beautiful week!
One crew in Del Mar had it tough but pulled it off.
The inland crew's need Gatorade!!!!!!!!!!
Crazy weather here,,,oh, check your hitch pin's,,

I know. It tough to remain modest sometimes. Lol. Seriously though, every piece of equipment is crucial and works in unison. Just saying. Pat, pat.View attachment 366893
Just where do you find the steady supply of people able to work in that, uh, um, I think you said "unison"?

I would think you'd have to tent the area.
When I first saw the an air spade I thought I would NEVER EVER want to have anything to do with it and I am sticking to my story.

Summer finally arrived today.
After a less than stellar July and August it was almost 100F with the humidex.
Did a small pruning job to start the day and the used Vermeer 935 I just bought wouldn't start.
Loaded brush into the truck and headed up to the dealer. Not going to be a quick fix, so I grab one of his demo/rental units for the weekend (got two big days lined up for Sat/Sun). Took the new Carleton 1712 to another job, chipped what's was in the truck and the tree we were taking down. Chipper worked awesome.
Went through 3 t-shirts and over a dozen bottles of Gatoraide

Looks good on the back of my little truck.
Fills it up fast though.
Thankfully the chipper has brakes

Man what a full on rag doll that groundie took.
I couldn't believe he'd survive that spin around the tree like that.
Showed it to a guy at the shop today. He was impressed. Showed me this one.

Yup
It ran great the day we demoed it.
Used it a couple of more times, no problems.
Today... Starter starts making noise.
Not too worried. It's machinery .
Al seems line a good guy .He's treated me pretty good so far.
Man does he have some nice units in his shop. Gotta love those new elevators with an Eloquip box.

I called about those, was gonna get one for small pruning jobs so we didn't have to drag the big machine around to every job. Ended up with a 2009 12" morbark with 152 hours instead. It's a hell of a machine and looks like that Carlton on your truck. Tell him you want that one instead!!!

Not in the budget this year. Just dropped one of my kids off at University last weekend. $$$$
Devon was demoing a 15" Morbark that Vermeer Brampton had. Was impressed with it.

Lol. Did you get the " my kid and my money go to University" bumper sticker?! That will be a good little machine for you. I was chatting with Devon he said he liked that morbark. I am sold on red machines now too now. The 12" machine I just got has the 99hp kubota with crush assist. It eats wood! Gonna put a winch on it. I am gonna demo a 170HP 18" morbark. If I am satisfied I might trade the 15" Vermeer in.

LOL
No bumper sticker yet.
Got to get a bigger truck when I move up to a 12 or 15".
I've kept the 6" Bandit and will keep the 1 ton 4x4 if I do get a bigger truck. That smaller rig is suited for the steep cottage driveways that make up a lot of my work.

I know all about steep cottage driveways!! We run into a lot of those. I backed down one last fall, loaded the truck right to the balls with chips and it wouldn't crawl out with the 15" Vermeer on the back. It's a 20 yard box and it was FULL! Truck was on a slope but chipper was flat. Had to cut the chipper loose, drive the chip truck up and go back down with the pick up to get the chipper. Now mini skid forwards the brush up to the top where the truck and chipper belong!
