[Oldmaple]

Got to work with 2 of my kids yesterday. Sent my regular employee off to work with a company I do some projects with. Turned this tree

into this.

Best kind of job, leave the wood, no cleanup on the stump.

You ever go by to look at a tree the owner says has a rotten base and the same stick everyone uses to poke in and see how far the rot is, is still there?

Watch the clip at 4:40.

From the trunk almost uppercutting her, to the full rev after it fell

Btw watch all those "tree cutting fail" videos if you haven't already, I could watch them all day

Wait for the comment at the end though

do the math gorman, 30-35k on two axles, vs 50k on three. not a huge difference. the time and effort involved is huge though. to each their own, however.

That’s true. But that front axle on the crane though.... ultimately it was the homeowners call. They know much less.

My truck is more like 29,700 if you wanna get picky. It’s just a job. Two guys, a bucket and a tractor took a day to get that mess off the house. No crane needed, per customer request. We’ve moved onto the other 20k worth of non crane related TREEWORK now.

Everybody’s an arborist.

Regardless of whether or not they can start a chainsaw,,,

there is no doubt that you are acknowledgeable, hard working guy that has an admirable set up of equipment now. a some point in time, you will get older and realize its not a tree vs man thing, its a working smarter thing. I'm pretty sure thats why you bought that beautiful new equipment! try to drag yourself out of the dark ages.

Some elaboration on this 20k job??? Don’t just say that and not tell more. That’s just teasing.

I think the Tree MDS meant he had a total of $20k other work.

which is nice also.

Been too busy for pics for the most part. Tried to get one of the 4x4 doing its thing in the new truck today.
That 19xpc with the Deere 173 seems like it was the perfect choice too. The MDS is tired, but pleased. What a beautiful week of weather!

 

[tree MDS]

Finally got a day off. A gloomy, supposed to shower, nothing open day off, but a day off anyway. Of course I dragged myself out of bed at 5:30 only to decide to call it off anyway, so there goes the rest part, but oh well.

 

[tree MDS]

Maybe I’ll pass out in the shop recliner with a grease gun dangling out of my hand later. Living the dream, baby!! Lol.
