It's what I started with. Sounds like the same year. Disk cuts at 90*. I have 1600 hours on mine, less than 100 hrs on new Perkins diesel, new bearings all around. I'm thinking of putting mine up for $12,500. I will add that there highly wanted in the big city to the north of me. What's he...

Met with a potential climber today. Seems sharp. Got to bull shatting about different tree scenarios and what not. Checked out his gear and it's nicer than mine, he has geckos and upper end climb lines and goodies. Seems pretty experienced, prunes to standards etc., and then...... He informs me...

Sending the boys out on 3 smaller jobs. I'm going to CAT to try and get the filters for our 250xp. For some unknown reason no auto parts store around can come up with filter numbers, (CAT 3.4?). Then meeting with a climber to see if he's worth bringing on. Trying to remove myself from some of...

To each there own bud, I'm glad your out there killin it. Truly I am. I enjoy people succeeding.

So when you look at a job how do you come up with your numbers? You just put a price on a tree or what? I brake it down into time. Don't get me wrong I will often scribble a price down on my bid sheet for what I think the tree would cost, but next to it I put down how many hours it will take...

$50 per man hr. So 2 man crew would be $100 an hour. They mainly run 3 man crews. So $1200 a day.

Yeah I sure wish we had some industry pricing guidelines. Plumbers around here are $95/hr, same for a good mechanic, yet I get underbid daily when my target is $75. Largest outfit in town is approximately $50. Makes it tough but I'm not giving up yet.

Who uses there climbing saw to cut stumps. More so, who lets other guys run there climbing saw into rocks. Just sayin Basing this off your picture

Hope that rate was for just you. $300 for 4 hrs would send me backwards. Pretty sad to say that but it tis what it tis. I hate having to pay the government.

We treat service drops as a "no contact". The typical residential feed anyway. We trim around them often. Have them dropped if need be.

Made a little, spent a lot. Tax season, quarterlies, work comp, commercial auto. Man I love self employment. Beer 30

From my experience very few horses ever have a irritation from Cedar, but that's just my experience, no science behind it. My wife is a horse trainer so I'm around them more than I would like to admit. Don't own any though!!

Hog Fuel, not pig food hahaha. Mills burn it for power.

I'm looking into the idea of running the chips through a horizontal grinder to get a finer chip, they call it hog fuel around here. Then possibly go one step further and mixing it to make a quality mulch, or some sort of landscape material that has a value. Just a thought

There turnouts/paddocks, mud control, trails, entrance and exit to the barn etc.

We use chips for horses all the time, just no walnut chips. As for bedding, mmmm not so much. Horse people are a breed of there own.

You that own a treemotion, do you think it's the best one out?

Raised and thinned a Pin Oak, yuck. Then bombed down a white Oak into the woods with no clean up. So nice to work outside of town sometimes. Driving the chip truck back to the shop and my "foreman" says- gotta fess up, I left the climb saw on the bucket truck on Monday and realized it was gone...
