    Do you give discount when your taking the wood?

    When customers wanted firewood most of the time they just kept the tops cut up to firewood length and i would take the log. If I was asked to turn the tree into firewood it was two guys with a saw and logsplitter for $75/hr. We would turn the pile of rounds/limbs/log into a pile of firewood that...

    anyone offer planting?

    25 six foot arborvitaes in our lovely soil ammended rock that Ohio is famous for... plus mulch around the raised bed area. I find great satisfaction in planting stuff in the soil. It is a great feeling to look at the landscape years later that you have been a part of.

    Question for the Crane Ninja's

    Smaller limbs we just cut right through and let the crane fly it away. We are doing mostly picks on chokers and will butt tie them or double choke them to keep them from twisting or moving towards the bucket or rarely a climber in the tree. Break cuts are used a lot of the time and for the low...

    Revolutionary?....I think so for trainees

    I do not think it would be wise to forego teaching on the older methods and having a new climber "cut his teeth" on this or any mechanical device for that matter. When a climber is aloft he is the one who is ultimately responsible for his life and as a teacher of climbers it would be terrible on...

    are climbers underpaid in the states?

    Very true. They go out with good intentions and before you know it when work dries up they start cutting costs on minor stuff like insurance and workers comp. Almost as bad as the production climbers for larger outfits going out and doing sidework or buzzwork. I wil bite my tongue before I start...

    Any one ride the pick down?

    We use a crane just about daily and fly to set chokers. I have roped taller trees through natty crotches and then set the choker on the piece from the bucket so we can crane it down to the chipper. I have not nor am I allowed to ride down the load. Dead **** is da wurst! Duck and cover! Stay...
