I usually charge between $75-$350 per job on stumps although I am seriously considering doubling my minimum. The rental place here stopped renting manual grinders, now all they have is a $300/day hydraulic grinder. Occasionally someone will save up a dozen or so stumps before they call. In...

Do you use paid ads on FB? This is usually when business slows down. Additional advertising can help.

And... it started working again.

The outriggers are working fine. The upper and lower controls are not doing anything. What could be the problem?

Echo has a few models with manual oilers.

I like throwing my tail over the brush at the end of the limb I'm going out on and having a ground guy hold it. It is usually the quickest and simplest solution to prevent the big swing, but not nessisarily the safest.

It looks like ponderosa pine to me.

Don't forget to do a couple hundred push-ups, sit-ups, and pull-ups first to simulate how you would feel after climbing around in the canopy.

On the bright side it looks to be pecan so you can get way up there and take little bites. It is definitely not a job for the squeamish.

Jim... in regards to the deceptively difficult tree. I would put my climb line in the branch coming off towards the camera and throw the tail over the branches overhanging the house with a ground guy on the tail to keep me from swinging back too hard if I fell. From there I would climb up as...

Hauled off and cleaned up it looks like about 3k to me. Get him to get bids from other companies and see if your expenses can be covered by the price of the job in your area. Ask him to give you an advance to buy insurance, a trailer, dump fees, grinder rental, and help. You might come close to...

Before watching the video I would have probably taken the top with it rigged off the stem you were cutting which would have been fine. I might have considered rigging a much larger piece off the secondary tip to avoid as much shock load which would have been catastrophic. After watching the...

Put an advertisement up in the employment forum.

In some areas it still is. We have a lot of undeveloped wooded land around my part of the state.

I'm happy with my 355t. If you one hand from a bucket or need something lighter for your hands you can try a ms150t or a ms192t with a 150 bar and chain. The 192 will last about a year but it is light and priced right.

I would go meet all the competition. You might find a small competitor that fits the bill and would be willing to shut up shop for the right price.

We need some mills in central Oklahoma. The cheapest guy around clears land for 5k an acre.

What is the most you have charged for a single stump? I have charged $500 for single large stumps several times.

I use rakes, blowers and wheelbarrows. Would love to have a mini.

I was wanting to subordinate the larger branch on the lower right. With the branch in question damaged it would leave that side of the tree thin. It is also a good place for a scaffold branch if it stays. The tree will be moved to the center of the yard to replace a dead maple.
