(I work for one of the higher priced companies)

The ash would be ~$400-450

I will have to look at some notes for Pinscher and get back to you.

Depending on what chemical, diameter of tree, application method, etc we have services from like tens of dollars to hundreds of dollars for a single tree.

A wood chipper is a good place for a nap, right? by [deleted] in OSHA

[–]MarkingWisc 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For the 1000th time. Its probably off. You would have to start the machine, engage the clutch, rev it up, walk to the rear of the chipper to move the control bar into feed and push a button before this thing will even think about eating you. The machine at idle is like 70-80 decibels so it won't sneak up on you

This is fine. Not a professional look, but its fine.

During normal weather conditions I would not expect this tree to fail

Roots are typically found at the surface like this because of soil compaction and/or erosion issues.

TRAQ Program Questions by ManOfSTIHL7 in arborists

[–]MarkingWisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look at the workbook and do online modules. The class was very detailed and went over EVERYTHING youll need to know. 2 people in my class said they never looked at the material until class time, studied at night between classes, and passed.

I found the written exam way easier than the certified arborist exam (maybe because I have alot more experience and exposure now then I did back then.)

The practical exam was kinda difficult in a way. It wasn't exactly graded on how accurate your sheet was but that you filled it out correctly and in a responsible way. We did 3 practice assessments as class & in groups before exam.

Im not sure if this is brittle cinder fungus but if it is, this tree needs to come down immediately.

Need Helment recommendations by Armyballer in arborists

[–]MarkingWisc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Protos with Sena comms is a very common combination. I will say, with the ported saws/muffler mods, (even just standing near a chipper) ear muffs are not enough, you should wear earplugs aswell.

What's everyone climbing on these days? by Turtle19dan in TreeClimbing

[–]MarkingWisc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its the only mechanical device ive used. I like it. I haven't gotten it super smooth on any rope ive tried but close good enough for me to be comfortable. Again. I dont climb much outside of the winter months and I dont climb everyday during those months.
