Got a guy that wants some trees taken out as his place, no structures near (atleast that's what I was told) just gotta miss his garden with one of em, gonna go out tomorrow and talk price (I have no idea about what to ask) and give it a once over and maybe start in on it if it's not windy

$125 minimum is good for starters.

I know a guy that has charged $50.00 a tree. . . That's straight falling, no bucking or cleanup -- and that's cheaper than most other tree guys would charge.
So, go with your gut on it, and charge accordingly.

I used to charge $100 to dump the tree, $25 an hour to buck and limb. I didn't do clean-up.

Oh it's gonna be more than that
Thanks Bob, hopin it's not windy tomorrow, it's like a damn hurricane here now
I've cut wood for the guy last summer so depending on the size I might go with that, he's gonna be using it for firewood and so I'm thinking I'll kinda go with what I think will come out of each tree bushel-wise and go a portion of what I'd charge him per cord (I'm gonna be falling, limbing, and bucking to 16" so It's not gonna be a whole lot cheaper than my normal 180.00 per cord rate)
Yes. I got whiskey, beer and pizza for planting a bunch of trees. I even brought chips and salsa, which were scarfed down as appetizers prior to the pizza.
The new ones do suck....You'd think if they were going to make them cheaper that they could at least make them lighter........I finally gave up and just pack a complete spare in my pack now. Down a tape in the strip, you might as well be down a ####in' saw.

God damn Jake, you're killing it on the fire wood up North. I got out of that racket a while ago around here........####in' high school kids selling #### for nothing....kiddies gotta get that 30 pack of pee-stone somehow I suppose.

Damn, I don't do firewood for less than $225 a cord anymore.

Last night the wife's car broke down so I had to put off the cutting until next Sunday and wrench on the damn car all day. It's about time for that damn thing to get sold down the road. I had my stuff all ready to go like the first day of hunting season, my riggin pants with spenders and my calks and tin hat all laid out, damn I was pissed

Sounds fitting for the whining thread.
The guy was cool about it and everything so it wasn't all that bad, yesterday was colder than #### anyways

I'm hoping so, I've delivered a few cord to this guy's house last summer and all the trees I saw were pretty small so it might not be worth a video shoot, but we'll have to see. Bethany's going with so I'm sure there'll be atleast a few pics floating around, prolly of me falling on my ass or or getting pinched while bucking

Don't forget to run a 12" bar and bore cut every tree. Even your undercut. It's safer, ya know?
And even though you're double cutting your face and back cut on a 14" tree, it just makes you that much more awesome, especially while you thrust your fist up into the air euro-power-woods-ranger style, mightily proud of the fact that you did more work than was necessary!!

Don't listen to Jameson on the 12" bar. . . That's waaay overkill!
Come over to Ol Uncle Nate's and I'll make ya a 6" bar.
