Got a crane job set up sunday myself. it should be nice, just a couple multi leadered dead hemlocks - probably adelgid. Job is in in a local cemetary so obviously i cant drive the tractor on it and I'm not breaking out the wheelbarrow. lol. also not a fan of roping tons of little hemlock branches and I cant see bouncing them off the headstones... sort of disrespectful. Its not a big job, just the crane plus my regular day rate. Something different though.
That makes three this year, an mds record! cant wait to take another ride on my reclining chair...I mean new saddle. should be better yet now that I've got The HC and the VT worked out. Picked up a 353xp (thought it was a 346, long story) with a 16" bar and that thinner chain (0.50?), I think I'll start with that saw.
Doing just weekends now with the subs. Trying to gather some more nuts before winter. just looked at another one for an existing customer thats at least two days already, probably closer to four depending on what trees the town is responsible for. best part of that one is they "would want me to do it on a weekend", lol. Nice!
I'm starting to like my little tree biz again. Should be a good winter.
