I understand that but seriously the saplings on my farm were six
to eight inch dbh and my tractor and hog and even myself got
beat up clearing them. I don't think the DR would have tackled
my work. I do understand their value for the small stuff and you
have found a niche that must work for you

In some states it is considered a crime to abuse a woods mower. I don't know what the punishment is, I am afraid to find out.
But really, for major areas I rent a tractor and charge accordingly. a lot of people, upon hearing the price, get the mexican landscrapers in there on there kness or do nothing at all.
Got to find the niche, that's been apparent for some time.
I can just see and hear it now: A cantankerous old tree guy running a mower- Vroomm! bang! smash! thump! Screech! Dagnabit! Vroom! bang! etc.
Actually I just completed a rather big job with a rented mower and tractor. The guy said" Holy crap! That is not how they did it last time", so i asked how they did it, he said" Not like that ." I said" I am sorry to hear that."

So ya saying I am an outlaw
I am if it means not getting r done lolI would not dream of doing it to someone else's hog but it is my own and its
old so wth if it comes apart and it will, the papers are full of em
For the 300.00 it cost for a decent used one and the work I have done
it was money well spent. If it last till the end of summer I will be done
with the rough stuff so the new hog will be maintenance. Sorry oldirty I
have derailed this post a little, so get back in here and show us Alaska.

No no no, its great! Around here 300 will not get you a decent bush hog though and you better believe I be just as cantankerous with one. I picked up a 8 foot york rake( a real one) cut in down to five feet and welded a 2 inch draw bar on it. Plug it into the Dingo and its all over. That rake was 200, I thought I was getting a deal.
About this thread hijacking thing: I hope not be be such a pain and I apologize but we are just talking. Right? MDS started it and I had to stick up for my mower, just like you did.
Yeah I am on the edge of my seat waiting to. So far I had a pretty busy day: went back to the lesbians house( seems there is a community of them up on Frog Hollow). One was burning the crap out of pot roast. We went over the job again as its been delayed on the rain. We saw a red tail dive on a squirrel.
Tried to put plugs in the wife's 4 runner but they gave me the wrong ones but I got the rear pads on pretty quick. Guy said they were at 3/32 and passed state insp. They were down way further than that, glad I got off the couch to do it today.
Filled the Tiki torches while I pushed my kid in the swing- always higher she wants to go, cleaned out the tawlets real good, gave em a good scrubbing and I used bleach. Now I ask you, would you put that on your skin? My wife keeps bying all these different bottles on cleaners but they all are the same thing- bleach.
Of course I am rambling but my daughter just fell asleep so I am gonna go play tag with my wife. I hope I don't lose my concentration cause oldirty sure looks like someone I know and its bugging me to find out.
Dan, how long you been in biz? Oh, and good to hear about the wife, I was beginning to wonder, lol.

Got my first paycheck for dragging brush in 91. Fell out of my first and only tree when I was 6, well actually it was a large privet which we were cutting back and feeding the goats with. Split wood and humped coal in the winter to heat the house, passed out flyers door to door for landscape work in the summer by 10. Had a push me pull me mower and a trailer for my bike. Used to drive my mom's International pick-up into town for feed, groceries and cigarettes, it was a stick. Ever bury a dead goat in the dead of winter with just a spade? Not something you want to leave just lying around. I came into this world with the innate knowledge of a collar cut, I truly honestly did. I mean anything else just LOOKS wrong don't it? Snap cut? That's how we did the privets to keep the bow saw from binding.
In all honesty: I was not expecting all this hoopla when I called a tree company out of the yellow pages back in 91 and ask for a job. Actually I had no idea, been interesting though.
Never got to play that game of tag, we both just sat on the couch and watched Funny Farm with Chevy Chase. After all the times we have seen it its still a riot.
Get the hemmies done?
As usual dan, you didnt answer the question-and wtf is a hemmie?

Yes I did! You asked me how long have I been in BIZ, right? well there is your answer- at 6 I was chopping trees to feed the goats which we sold, hence BIZ!

married since 1995- how do you think it went?
Oh hemlock, sorry man, lol, not yet tomoro, picked up a job planting 9 7'-8' white pines next to our shop yesterday though, the guy wants to put up screen to block the nieghboring tree service, so I'll be looking down on the competition's shop next saturday-the side I cant see so thats gonna be annoying for him, lol. I'll make more money on that than I do doing treework per day-and I bid low according to the landscaper that sold me them. He also said it should only take 3 hours max! Not bad though eh? I didnt realize there was that much money in that $#!#!
