im hereI am also hoping that maybe in time we can get some of our valuable members from the past back as well. That would be nice.

gonna be fairly busy next week, got 2 jobs which is more than normal for me
3 pines and a maple (removals), 2 maples and some other tree I cant ID (I think willow) to prune
half the estimates I did this week the customers were baffled I don't work for free, who woulda thunk?
also gonna be running a chipper on the large removal job next week, my first time running one, yall got any tips? its a rental, probably a bc1000
I bid over 20 trees this week, massive record for me (Doesnt sound like much to the mds)
id like to take the cash from these 2 jobs and buy a 500i, but I sorta got a new truck (my first diesel), payed the truck off, now paying off a list of parts, glow plug controller, injection pump, service bed etc
the little things ad up fast ive found
truck is a 91' f350, 7.3 idi zf5 cab and chassis, runs good when it runs
Fancy pants is in the body shop. A few months back someone pulled out right in front of us causing almost 24k in damage to the drivers side. It really didn't look like anywhere near that much, but is getting a new nose, hyd tank... tire was gashed, so tire, rim alignment... battery box, etc.
No injuries thankfully. Guy was lucky I was paying attention. I was 3/4 loaded with logs coming down a long hill with a line of cars behind me on a straightaway when he just started pulling out. I veered to the right as much as I could without going off the road and hit the city horn (was all I could reach that fast) hoping he would see me, but he just kept coming. My front tire and rim took most of the direct impact. Looked like a scene from Nascar in my rear view. One of my guys was with me. He saw it coming too. As I was attempting my evasive maneuvers with the log truck, he was screaming like a little ***** lol.
My brother and I cut some morbark decals the other day. Needed some for the chipper chute and made a few extras for random spots/tool boxes. I have an older decal machine that works pretty good, it’s just that the design program is a pain to use. View attachment 970342
cant wait to get my own, tired of not being able to do jobs because people think I can get a crane for $25I have started to prepare myself for the fact that eventually I’m going to need at least a smaller stick crane. There is simply no way around it forever.
Your going to love it!So I am looking forward to having the new mini giant later next week hopefully. Should be nice to have a lightweight machine, especially for mud season.
Just another tool to have in the toolbox. I like how it is already changing the way I look at certain estimates to a degree. A definite sign of a useful piece of equipment.
that is heNice lookin trailer!!
Is that your pops with a fresh trim job? Lol
Hope your bc1000 has the bigger engine. Had a bc1000 with the bigger engine and was happy with it. Went in for repairs once and they let me use a demo they had with the smaller engine. What a gutless machine but maybe I was just spoiled. Still better than loading brush but was very happy to get my machine back.gonna be fairly busy next week, got 2 jobs which is more than normal for me

They certainly don't give the rental fees away. I can see a time in the future where I'm going to need to rent one and choke on the fees. Worked occasionally with a lawn care company who had a dump trailer that he built a box on to it. Used to have me blow chips into it.Unfortunately I bought a trailer instead if renting a chipper (down payment was a week chipper rental, monthly is a daily chipper)
Would love the experience of learning a chipper
