Stihl 075

Now i know many have posted on the 075..truth is i am not interested in anything other than a great saw for milling...with a Alaskan mill...i have found what seems to be a 075 in excellent condition for 700$..and i'm still sketchy...being this sight has the absolute most up to date professionals and users of these saws...i would very much appreciate any personal experience and or opinions on whether or not to buy a old used supposedly excellent shape...saw...is it worth the risk...??

No wood…

No wood🙁

I joined a month ago now, & not had a single call or msg. Does it usually take some time before someone would make contact, or is it that there are too many established tip sites in my area? Any advice welcome.

New Dolmar 7910 Chainsaw

Just loving the new Dolmar 80cc 7910 chainsaw.... Having just done my CS32 qualifications the chainsaw was awesome... It chewed through the tree trunks like it was going out of fashion... It was a bit heavy when throwing it about for snedding and a 60cc Dolmar 6100 might be better for doing that... But I guess that I will have to just get used to it and toughen up..? Can't wait to get on the next courses... Windblown & Uprooted.... And Emergancy Tree Works

Hi, I'm considering felling a 40' (ish) Monkey Puzzle in Leicester, I'm going to chip all of the branches, however have heard that the trunk timber is useful to some. I can either drop it in small sections, or in larger chunks. Whomever collects will need a Hiab crane or similar if I'm dropping it in big bits, seems it will be very heavy! Anybody interested in this? Jon

Metrics to Help Your Tree Care Company

Even when it comes to the tree care industry, numbers are important. If you don’t see the numbers, or the impact they have on your tree care business, you could be missing growth opportunities. Return on Marketing Stop and ask how new clients are finding out about you. Did they come from past clients, new referrals, radio ads, yard signage, billboard adds, or social media for example?

Looking for a Load of Cord length Firewood, Wareham, Dorset

My regular supplier has retired so I'm looking for a supplier who can deliver trailer loads of cord length logs at a reasonable price. I am happy to take green hard wood because I have space to store it while it seasons but I would expect to pay less for this. I can take about 1 or 2 loads (like the one in the pictures below) at a time. I would prefer hardwood (and a season or 2 since felling if available) but will also consider softwood if the price is right. If you are going
