Need a certified arborist, 4 days work overseeing work performed on Caltrans right of way. Location is Chico, CA. PM for details if you are interested. Thanks

Do yourself a favor and keep saving for the 20k-25k chippers. Go big! We started with a Bandit 254 and we are growing out of this beast already. Maybe next year we can get an 1890:givebeer:

I have done well pricing each individual piece of equipment at $50 per hour and each laborer at $50 an hour for up to a 3 laborers and chip truck/chipper and aerial lift. $200-$250 per hour as of late. It sounds to me like a daily rate may be better for you. Estimate how many days it will take...

We would love to have one as we are a 2-3 man operation and it would help us keep up with our demand right now. Problem is we have too much overhead as it is, just bought our new 7015 trx 3 weeks ago. This will be a future purchase in a couple of years. I see nice units for about 60k regularly...

Sunrise Equipment usually has take off dumps from asplundh trucks. I think they are 11 feet long about 5-5.5ft tall and roughly 11-12 yards

It is not practicle to always use two hands on a climbing saw, anyone with any degree of expeirience knows this. I one hand with respect and undivided attention. Even one handed 025's on occasion. Got to do what it takes to get the job done. Buckets, poles, arms and bars are never long enough...

I wouldn't use them say around 230KV or 500KV but thats me. The static from the 500KV on the ground is enough to scare you at times. I see no issue with steel core near distribution and lower KV transmission lines. Most any dirty rope safety is enough to conduct.

Sad indeed. Just because an aerial lift is insulated it may not protect those on the ground and even those in the basket if certain conditions exist as mentioned earlier. Electricity radiates as it is be "grounded" depending on the KV it may radiate several feet and has not been fully...

Echo Power Pruner. Nothing tougher.

We have ben whining and cryng this year as it has been very slow. Within the last week we have become booked up for 4 weeks yay!. Seems the busy season is about 3 monhs laterthis year.

Dead firs are deadly! I recently removed a similar sized tree that was dead for 2 years and I couldn't help but think the worst while blowing out the top. I never go higher than halfway up these trees when they are dead. We wish him a speedy recovery:cheers:

We do NOT trim Maples in the spring summer months in this area. Many services do not realize the future damage that will be caused by direct sun exposure. We typically have very hot springs and summers and my expierience has been that the maples will sunburn easily and when being topped or a...

I would say 200k is a decent years take. I made 143k my first year in business with my biz partner and myself. Economy turned south this year, I doubt we will even make that this year.

Bench test it at the auto or electrical store.

Once you have further developed your relationship with your client, they most always tell without being asked. How do you know you didn't underbid them? Maybe your attitude was better than the other guys, I secure alot of jobs just by being friendly and educational.

I don't think anyone can say a disk is heavier than a drum. They are machined out of solid steel. I would imagine a drum to be heavier due to the smaller diameter of the piece, it needs more weight fo mass. A disk is larger in diameter but much thinner and essentially provides leverage due to...

I'm pleased with my purchase from schmidy's machinery in Illinios.

That sure is a cute lil chipper. I'd like to find something that small in the states

Yes I do. It wasn't the soles but the insteps and the leather on the inner sides of the feet, even with the extra layer where the pole and tree wears. Thats what production trimming does:chainsaw:

Lifting tongs are certified and 50% more expensive
