Scott, I was under the impression you were part-time. Perhaps scaling back to a day or two a week would keep the bug in you, and if you just take on "good" clientele, for higher prices, perhaps you would be able to keep your business and work at your other job as well.

Cool that you are turning tons of removal work. I hope they are all necessary. We are a little different. Scientific based tree care, very small company size right now, but we handle anything that comes our way. I enjoy variety. I also want my clients trees to survive, so henceforth much...

So these are the ones you were asking me about the other day, Dave. The mix you mentioned I guess you didn't find out until afterword. Certainly that could have affected the trees if mixed improperly. Remember, fertilizer, while we are on the subject, is a growth regulator. Promoting vigor...

Side note. Matt, its good to have someone who you can trust talking to clients the way you would about trees. I'm guessing you have heard your salesman speak. But how do you go about policing what they say vs. what you would? I realize sales are good, but what if you recommended saving a tree...

In this area the "OAK BLIGHT" that the guys who haven't a clue but throw names at shiznit....is usually Bacterial Leaf Scorch (Xyella fastidiosa I love made up diseases....they make me feel so much smarter!

Thanks, conlan :) I try to think outside the box :rock: :cheers:

How about this? Guy shows up on time but isn't worth two hoots when you get to the job?!? Guy that shows up 15 minutes late everyday is a stellar performer and works his butt off and is attentive and excellent at what he does...... Solution: Everyone else's start time moves up 15 minutes...

Looks like a Redmond variety of the American Linden.....Tilia americana var 'Redmond'

Since we're on insurance, I believe I just renewed this year at $1300 for a 2 million with some equipment coverage as well.......my chipper, saws, etc.....

So apparently there are not shortblocks available for 24hp honda's so I indeed will be replacing it with a Kohler........but the DW dealer doesn't have a reference number for the kohlers used on the new ones??? WTF??? Why is it so hard to go out and look at one, and get me a number?

I'll second the Laurel Oak. However it seems I would think it would be the Quercus laurifolia due to the leaf shape and color. If that is the case, are you noticing discoloration of the leaves from the main vein as though someone hit it with a lighter? Several possibilities for decline...

Hey Millbilly, Gimme a ring next time you get a chance. We have a little more info on that.

Well now, I think I'm just going to go get some work done...... :rock: on You guys have fun with this one.

What are you doing with the old log truck chassis? -Mike

I'm putting a 5.9 cummins in my ford to replace the 6.0 next year....amassing the parts list now.

As for the fitment, they put Kohler CH-740s two cylinder 27 hp gas engines on the newer sk500's........, and it looks like i can get one ready to fit in for around 2g's and some change......direct bolt in replacement. Gotta get wrenchin.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes :) @ Keith, the issue with "revving up" if you ever encounter it again, is the governor, not working like it should. If you get under a load the governor should noticeably increase throttle to keep the engine speed consistant with your load. If it doesn't...

I'm sorry, but "run of the mill"? I didn't think that working SAFELY was considered "run of the mill." I just think it's smart. What you were doing, was not smart. I like to see videos of efficient, safe, smart, tree care. And although I enjoy being a critic of what's wrong with...
