    Calling all the armchair arborists

    I enjoyed the trees up until I didn't. Most of the oaks around here are just old water oaks which is what most of these were. There were some white oaks sprinkled in. I just think I was short sighted by not removing the ones that needed to be when I had the chance to cut them down. Heck, I have...

    Yes. I made a valiant attempt to save all of the oak trees around my house. Oaks shed tons of leaves which aren't very good on the roofing. They also drop tons of limbs which aren't very good on the roof. But the roots are the worse. They will tear up foundations. The limbs on my trees also...

    Massey Ferguson GC17XX blows fuse when turning on key. Won't kill motor turning key off.

    Should be a wire on it. Pull the wire off and see if it blows the fuse. JDs are bad about the cold start thermistor going bad and it is wired into the FSO circuit.

    No. They are nothing like those two woods. The wood burns hot and generates a ton of coals. They will get pretty large but like Lineman says they have shallow roots so when they get big usually wet and a good wind will blow them over. That's when they turn into pork.
