You drive like an asian in a snow storm. The tires are fine and the truck has plenty of power. You nailed it "you just aint smart". You floored it all the way through that vid.Ease it in, it works in mud, snow and with the women,.

Undid an hours worth of filing in a few seconds... Meddling HOs..."cut it of a little lower".
I knew better

That's when you say no, if you want the stump cut lower then you will pay me to grind it.

Do try to keep up, holdencacknballs, the powerchoke ain't in the yota for one, nor are the discoverers, and I would hardly label any 22RE as having "plenty of power".

Found out that I am going to have to replace the electric clutch on my stumper today... Ouch.
Went and bid a job for my YP account executive and got it. Sharpened my chains, pulled the clutch off of my stumper and did all the maintenance on it so I will be ready to go when my clutch comes in (next tuesday). I've got 4 stump jobs backed up to next week.

I don't own a grinder. I'm too nice, or more likely, a spineless push over. Good news though. I bid 3, 80' austrian pines at $250 each. One day worth of work. Probably Tuesday. I keep the wood too
I wish I knew of a local mill that would buy...Whats this thread name again?

Lol, if you lived closer I would give you all the free wood your wagon could haul. :hmm3grin2orange:

I am missing something here. What are you going to be doing? 80' austrian pine is a pretty good amount of wood. Are these removals?

Dont cry, just do it
####ers...
Your gonna cry when that things gets it for scratch. Wait till you get some rust coming threw the paint. Seems like no matter how good you sand blast it, it always comes back. Rusts a mother####er
Yes. Removals.
And I'll keep the stumps just tall enough to avoid the chain situation pictured above
Seems to me thats a good amount of labor for $250 a tree, even if you are finishing it all in a day. I guess your making me feel better about the prices here.

Yeah, you can have that wood.

It's not like I'm having to haul it and split it and blah blah blah.
I have a buyer for the wood. They want 3, 25' logs. They'll come to the site and take the logs. I'll just scrap the tops and limbs. Easy peasy. A large local tree company will take the left over rounds off my hands to split and sell.
I think $250 a pop is a fair price. Im just starting out and have pretty minimal operating costs, as in gas for my saws and truck, and pay my brother and a friend to be my ground guys and haul sticks to the trailer. Insurance and license are handled already. The site is less than 10 minutes from the local green dump. A few trips is all it will be. This work is not my livelihood, it's fun money and working outside keeps me sane.

Well you are the one that has to figure what the job is worth to you. Just seems to me you may be leaving some money on the table. You get it all done in one day then its a decent days pay but roll that in to two days and pay a ground guy for a day or two and your working for short money in my book.
I see where your coming from but that's what he paid a few years ago for 3 of the others. They'll fall right into the driveway, maybe even straight onto a trailer. Done in a day and I'll still net ~$450. Friends and family discount
Like I said, fun money.$450. Friends and family discount
Well that changes everything... never mind, carry on... good luck, be safe.

I am mournful I didn't put the money into this one for working. It was at the point where if you tried to start it it would catch on fire, again.
I put a 350/350 in it and used it while freelancing. Gas got to be to much so i bought the white one. Then I got a 96 4runner. i was in Yota Heaven for awhile there. I am thinking of swapping out the F150 and the Outback for a Land Crusier.
