just across the street.

As I was working on finishing up a carrot wood tree, I heard a chain saw running close by. when I came down this guy in a Suzuki Samari was doing the carrot wood across the street, that we bidded on the day before and was hoping to get. The lady of the house said she wanted her tree perfect and it had to be done right. Well I see why we didn't get the job. I can't trim that perfect. Hope she's happy.

Almost finished and the customer is a happy camper.
I love the mini, and that little 6" Bandit does ok too.
Apart from a couple of hours help from son last weekend, it has been a solo effort.

That tree had never been trimmed before, she said she was worried someone would mess it up. Might as well remove it now, it'll be an eyesore, like 80% of the trees in this nice upscale neighborhood. The one we did across the street was virgin too. The Chinese lady was so happy she bought us pizza for lunch,

Those are the same machines I'm running. Although yours look newer than mine. :) Where would you get parts from (on the mini)?

You shoulda walked over and ask why he was topping it and maybe educate him a little.

Hit the "like" button by accident, but what the heck!
Brandt Tractor located in Milton, Ont is the DW dealer.
I bought a set of aftermarket tracks from another outfit, and filters and such I can get locally.

I do lmao i ground some stumps lady had illegals doing mulch job, she asked if I liked the colored mulch, I told her aesthetic wise it's ok but health wise wood chips are better. I then looked closer and told her that not everyone knows that mulching should not be done near the base of trees! She said really and I explained that area needs to dry out pointed to woods across the street and said see how they look in natural setting then gave her a few sites she could get info about proper mulching. I was pulling out while she was trying to explain to her illegals.

I woke up this morning trying to think how I am going to pay for this thing so I drove around looking for more crap to buy for it. Came back with a 20 dollar set of seat covers and a 43 dollar hook for the winch from Grainger then called some clients and said," AHS NEEDS MONEY!" So far, so good. They said they were happy to hear from me.:msp_confused:

Sharp looking ride!! Congrats! Gas or diesel? (I haven't been keeping up much around here lately)

My new pickup makes me feel old for some reason. I kinda liked the old one better, I didn't care what the hell happened to it. I don't even smoke in the new one.. maybe that's the problem.

I know, I know! It makes me feel older too!

Me and Jared were out rubbing it up against the shrubbery, spilling oil all over the bed and coating the interior with a nice layer of sawdust today.

Everybody was out, must have been 4 tree companies on the same block. There was Elite ( they are pretty dam good), some dude with a big ladder and trailer full of brush, Josh Lord was stumbling around his lot in a drunken stupor, and then there was us. All within spitting distance of each other.

The truck is a 2009 Power Wagon 2500, it comes stock with a 5.7 CID gasoline engine with hemispherical pistons, 4:56 gears, front and rear electric lockers, 12k winch. Just sayin :msp_sleep:

I lucked out at the dealer as it was the only bigger truck they had. It has 7k on the odom.
