I am wondering what you all think is a realistic useful life of my 9" Vermeer BC900 with a 35-40hp Kohler gas engine? Ours has almost 900 hours on it currently and is running just fine. We are may think about buying a new chipper in the next year or so unless we can expect to get 2000 hours...

Hi all.....it's that time of year again where I start freaking out about taxes and how to lower what I owe for next year. Every year we buy something new to try and keep our stuff all looking good and keep adding expenses. The problem is that I kind of ran out of things that we want and next...

Last winter we bought our little loader and it's been amazing! The down side has been that it's very cold blooded and doesn't like to get going when temps drop below 25 or so. Tomorrow it's supposed to be below zero with wind chills all day and we really need the loader for a willow removal...

Has anyone heard of or used the "Pine Cut"? I saw it today on Instagram and it looks interesting if it actually works. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

There was a little discussion about bidding jobs that came about in the thread I posted about getting a loader. I've been meaning to start this thread since then but have been busy until now. When I bid jobs, I look at it and figure out how many hours it's going to take to complete the job and...

Today we took possession of our new articulating loader from Power Trac! I know it's not as cool and fancy as some other out there, but we felt it was a good machine for us. It's light weight coming in around 1300# and has a small footprint. We bought it with a grapple bucket and a light...

We started our business in 2009 and have consistently grown year after year but we have reached a point where we can't get any more work done without working weekends. One of the big reasons for starting our business was to preserve family time for myself and my partner. We both have young kids...

Does anyone have any experience with GPS and tree inventories? I guess they are called "survey grade" or "differential GPS"? I have a customer that wants me to upgrade their tree inventory to include GPS locations and I am just looking into the equipment needed and feeling a bit overwhelmed.

When I was growing up we learned to shoot with 22 cal rifles. Now 22 cal ammo is impossible to find so what are people teaching their kids with? My two oldest boys have been shooting their bb guns for a couple of years now and have been asking to try something bigger. I have a few hundred rounds...

The finished product is finally out and I had a few minutes to watch a couple of videos. Great job Nick! You've got a real talent for explaining splicing techniques. Watching these videos makes me want to get back into splicing some more. If you have not purchased to videos from Treestuff, do it...

Yesterday I was removing a stone dead Lombardi Poplar and didn't want to go too high. This meant that I had to take a pretty big top out..... No rigging, just bomb it out. I put a face cut into the stem in the direction that I thought would place the top in a good location. My partner was...

Anyone use one? We are looking buying a new saw in the 50 cc range and the Echo has us thinking real hard. We bought a top handle 355 from them last year and have been very impressed. We have also been hearing good things about Echo in general recently...... but I still have a hard time buying...

So this started on Facebook but several members here were involved in the conversation. I figured I'd share my photos here because I'm less likely to be ripped apart there than in Facebook..... I have been using canola oil as bar oil for the past several years without any real ware and tear...

Does anyone have any good ways of storing their saw chain while in their trucks? We have a few spare chains that we keep on our truck and it always gets all tangled up when it brounces around. The worst one is our 36" chain but our shorter ones can be a pain too. Any suggestions? Sent from my...

Has anyone used an endoscope to inspect tree hollows or cavities? They are dirt cheap on Amazon..... $20 or so. If they work, I think could be a valuable tool for quick on the spot inspections. Thinking about getting one to try. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Hi everyone and Happy Thanksgiving to those in the US. I hope you have a great day. We just bought the bluetooth communication sets from Treestuff and they are great. I do have one question for anyone who has them. When recharging, is it necessary to plug them into a power source that is...

So this is what I can up with..... It's very rough because I didn't want to waste a lot of time if it didn't work. Thought? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

We have a camper that we pull behind our Grand Caravan and I was wondering what this hitch extension might do to the rear suspension of our van. I want to get something like this so we can also haul my kids bikes along when we go camping. I welded a receiver hitch to the back bumper of the...

We just re-signed our contract with Verizon and for $100 each my partner and I got Verizon made tablets with data included.... No additional monthly fees. We thought it was a really good deal so we took them. We figured we would try them out for work and if they aren't useful, well just keep...

We have been dropping in Google search results and we believe one reason is that our current site is not "mobile friendly". So we are in the process of redoing our site.... Actually my sister is in the process. She asked for examples of tree company websites that we think are good examples. So I...
