whats your budget? personally i would recommend a Husqvarna 550XP for your needs it should do you well for a long time to come. i use the 550 XPG with a 18" B&C for most small stuff (up to about 20"dia.) on the ground unless i already have my 572 out. if its in your budget its definitely a good...

find a new dealer. straight gassed is the old stand by to sell you expensive repairs. i cant tell you what recourse you have with that dealer. i would pay the hour labour to diagnose the saw so as to not burn a bridge. brign the saw home and replace the coil or take it to another reputable shop...

how much do you love the tree? without seeing the canopy your looking at multiple braces up the trunk, several cabling points and a pretty healthy crown reduction i am guessing, which could get quite costly for initial install and then regular maintenance over time. unless its of significant...

yup i'd have to concur, bring the stump down just below grade, and fill it in with some mulch or soil. those guy wires look a little close would have to be a little cautious with those as they would do a number on the grinder

@ATH already gave the same advice i would have. as stated not much you can do for it.

find an employer that value's you, he obviously values profit over employee's. first sign of thunder storm and we pack up till it passes, if i am off site i'll call the crew leader and tell them to pack it in for the day. we all have families at home and everyone wants to see them at the end...

tsumara or cannon

my climber trainee and i are both happy with our t540xp's the first run had a few bugs to be worked out but the new mark 2's have been great

i cant speak to the laws in your state but here if one of my employees takes a side job on their off duty time own time WCB insurance through my company does not cover any injuries as it did not occur during the course of their employment, nor does my liability cover any damages they may cause...

i would say that based on the pictures posted in my opinion that tree is either dead or nearly dead. it looks like the primary leader/trunk wood is already dried out and splitting. that's just my opinion based on the picture posted, i would contact a qualified arborist in your area to inspect it...

i hate to say it but i think that tree is on its last legs, obviously i am not there in person to see it first hand. from the pics posted i would look at removal in the very near future.

Call your insurance broker, this is what commercial liability is for. It's already been stated it's on you to verify anfbe aware of any and all hazards on a jobsite document them on your site briefing/estimates so they can be accounted for when doing the work. It takes a bit more time during set...

Was dude hungover? Three hours to climb 40' is un acceptable, and unless he's sharpening a 5-8' bar more then 10min is too long. Christ my 14 and 15 year old kids can be up 50' in less then 5 min. Sounds like a budget tree service, seems to be alot of those popping up recently

When replacing chains, you will need to know pitch, gauge, and drive Link count. Check the side plate of your bar it should ha e this information stamped in it near or just forward of the stud slot. 3/8 pitch is the most common pitch in home owner saws but there are others, .058 is the most...

For 36" hard wood. You really should be running a 70cc or above from any of the big brands, pick a brand that has good service network in your area and go from there. A well maintained used saw can be had for a decent price vs a new one. I have been using my 372 for years and not an issue in...

Rent a stump grinder from your local rental shop. Cost of chains adds up quick

i have thehusqvarna technical forest lids for my groundies comfortable, does the job they like them, myself and my climber trainee run the pfanner protos, but that's$$$$

while i cant speak to Ontario practices with MOL. my experience here in nova scotia as a new business, the Dept of labor and advanced education (NS's equivalent to MOL) is not about crushing new business more about making sure I as the business owner has taken all available steps to mitigate...

I'm in Nova Scotia, the premier declared a state of emergency. Made it illegal to gather in groups of 5 or more or be closer then 6ft with severe fines $1,000 for individuals $7500 for businesses so I've shut down in light of that laid off staff and am only doing hazard trees that pose an...

Estimates are free, all else starts at $250/hr and go's up from there at my discretion. I don't know too many professionals that would even bother with that.
