In Ontario Canada 700.00 for the 201T But in business you have to spend money to make money. What's next ropes and harness from the slightly irregular dept?
Perhaps the next time you quote a job inquire if they have a power outlet outside near the tree and use a really long extension cord and a cheap electric saw? You can use the cord as a rope as well! ALSO use the cord to hold down the old bed sheet you use as a tarp when you are taking away the trees in your converted shopping cart trailer. Wired Monkey tree service!
Buy the best tools you can afford and they will pay for themselves many times over. Good tools aren't cheap and cheap tools aren't good. Take care of your tools and they will take care of you. To be the man you have to beat the man.. sorry Ric Flair was on the telly.

thanks for the inspirational sermon, but a stihl 200t isn't the only good climbing saw. and nyctreeman is right to question that assumption. the extension cord was a little over the top. that isn't what we're talking about here. also equating safety equipment with saws is bogus. your saw breaks you fix it. your climbing system fails, just hope your over 30 feet up. also, i've found that not many climbers are good business men. it's good to hear some of them asking questions based on economic values. myself, i've used, worked on and still own, stihl, husky and echo climbing saws. currently my favorite is echo but what you use is up to you and the beer's on me at 5:30.
