    Evel Live!

    Who all is gonna tune in? This seems kinda odd Travis has been quiet and off the radar for a while. I guess preparing for this? I hope he pulls them off for his sake. I?m curious to see what contraption of a motorcycle they?ve built to pull this off on. Some custom/modern V-Twin. 52 cars...

    Cobra Kai

    Anyone else watched it yet? I have to say I was a sucker and signed up for YouTube red just to be able to watch it. I was very impressed tho! Very good show I thought. You can watch the first 2 episodes on YouTube for free then you have to sign up for YouTube red to watch the rest. 10...

    Chipper truck dump angle.

    I?m trying to get my chip truck built and was wondering. What angle you guys are getting when fully up and what is needed for the chips to slide out. The trailer I built was around 36 degrees fully up and didn?t seem to have much trouble with the chips sliding out. Just needed a slight jerk...

    Bradford pear disease

    Cleaning up some very neglected Bradford pear trees. They have been victim of phototropism and a very bad hack job before. Anyway I came across these purple deflated grape looking stuff in the tops. I can?t seem to find anything that resembles it Any ideas what it is?

    Chip truck.

    So I don?t mind blowing chips into the trailer I have but I don?t like having to make at least 4 trips per job and most importantly load and unload gear from my pickup. Thinking about looking into a chip/dump truck. Not real sure what route I?m going to take but something similar to the...

    Sycamore removal

    I have 2 young very healthy sycamores to remove coming up. Anything special to watch out for? It?ll be my first time dealing with one aloft. First one has a 10x15 drop zone. The 2nd is pretty much out in the open.

    Leaving gear aloft.

    Never left anything other than a throw line/ weights overnight. I'm assuming that's a bad idea. Any input? Stories?

    TreeStuff inventory?

    Anybody heard any news or of any changes at treestuff here recently. Seems that their in stock items are a lot lower than usual. They won't have it there but sherrill will(or their website says they do anyway). I ordered an arbor trolley from treestuff 3-4 weeks ago. Never saw it so I called...

    Ring shake?

    I got into a discussion with my grandfather yesterday about ring shake. We mainly see it in some of your hickorys, sweetgum, and sycamore is by far the worst. Occasionally we will see some oak saw logs with that problem. I've always assumed the wind causes it by twisting the trees. I started a...

The tree is around 40-45"duh and around 70-80' tall. They are in very remote rural area and don't have...

    Logging pics

    Going to go through a lot more and share them when I get a chance . The mud photos are from a year or so ago. Our guys were logging in a low bottem area and a Levy broke and flooded the already swampy area. I think it took 2 weeks to get the equipment out. The rolled log truck was from...

    Red oak bark defect.

    Our forester came in today from looking at a tract of timber and was curious about a few of the red oaks on the property. They had long strips around 5" wide running vertical up the first 20 feet or so of the tree and the bark deviations in the strip ran horizontal. Sounds almost like an...

    Knowledge

    If there is another thread similar point me in that direction. I am a book/knowledge junkie i guess you could say. Ive tried several things and done pretty good with them but I always come back to sawdust, sawmilling, trees, etc. I just cant get it out of my blood. I have more than a few books...

    New Guy

    New to the forum. I just wanted to say thanks for letting me on here. I will go ahead and say I am not an arborist, although I have been dying to get into the profession since I was in high school, it just hasn't happened yet. Has not been much to see in NW tn other that bucket truck work and a...
