It was my understanding that we were suppose to ghost him and not reply to anything he said. I don’t have any animosity towards him and wish him luck; I just don’t think he fits well in the thread.
Had a short, powerful storm blow through last weekend. Wrecked this elm tree. Got a new to me tool box too. I’ve always tried to repair everything in house and it’s even more imperative now with equipment costs these days and how backed up most repair businesses are due to labor shortages and parts supply issues.
A local Amish guy died doing tree work last week. Was up in a dead ash and after he roped a limb down the base failed and it fell over with him up about 40’. Always tough to hear, especially since he left a wife and children behind. Pretty much any dead ash around here isn’t safe to climb anymore, and definitely not safe to rig out of. I’ll climb fat ones and bomb the limbs, that’s about it.
You guys do know there is no such thing as minimum qualifications to post in this forum, right?
I'd say that anyone doing tree service for a living is certainly qualified to post here, and especially if they have professional equipment. If you don't like someone's participation, then ignore them. That's why we offer that feature.
Kindly desist all the personal attacks and discouragement. If you don't like what someone posts, either ignore it or tell them your thoughts about that post. Discouraging participation here is called harassing another member, and might get you blocked from a thread or banned. Bottom line: be nice. If you think someone has posted unacceptable content, be sure to put a report on it.
Our common goal in this forum is to share & exchange experience, knowledge, and to a certain extent, camaraderie. By driving other members away, you are defeating the purpose of this forum.
I think you have forgotten why you started this thread. Here's a reminder. Post #3 in this thread.
Sigh… whatever. Was already working on moderation myself. I remember now how the site died the first time and we lost anybody worth anything except a scant few.
I’ll be fine, no worries.

I recall. I thought you were pretty good at it, too.
I dont get the "name calling"
MDS should be able to call me whatever he feels like
I will admit I can be annoying, but I will also admit to deleting my apology about that earlier

It doesn't work that way. Name calling is against the rules. Read for yourself.

I'm glad that you got thick skin, though. In the meanwhile, if you think something said was stupid, remark upon the comment, not the commenter.

fair enough
Little dogs make the most noiseBesides, it’s good for us old tree dogs to have a little something to snarl and snap at once in a while.
Sorry to hear that as well.
One of the questions on the oral part of my CT arborist test was “when is it safe to climb a dead tree”? Of course being a dumb ass tree guy I was like “well, I’ve seen elms that have been standing dead forever still have good hinge wood, blah, blah, blah”. At the end of the test the guy was like “btw, the correct answer is it’s never safe to climb a dead tree”. I felt kind of stupid, but he alluded to the fact that I passed so I didn’t care. I’ll never forget that one again though.

I had been waiting on my 1000hr service for my giant 254t with my dealer since March. It was just done this past week. I tell all my buddies that do tree work. With the parts and labor shortages, your equipment is not getting fixed /worked on like the old days. All the machines should be getting top dollar for every hour because it's not guaranteed It will be worked on in a timely manner.
Nice tool box btw!
My new Omme has been down since April 27th. They did come out right away and try to fix it, then came back with another part, that didn’t work. They finally managed to fold it up and haul it away probably a little better than three weeks ago. The big aluminum hyd block, or “manifold” has something faulty inside it I guess (only happened once before to they guy from Denmark’s knowledge and that was on a PB). They’ve been waiting on a new one all this time. Apparently they outsource them from another company, and you guessed it, supply chain issues. I’d hate to see what that would’ve cost me if not under warranty for another five or six months!! You would think they could front me a payment, but the guy says that’s “unfortunately not the way it works”. I know I’m really too easy on people in these sorts of situations, but let’s face it, I need them more than they need me.
That would only be true if you figure pickin' on the newbies is fun. If so, then yes.
