Rayco wanted 1200$ for a new muffler for the duetz diesel. This one here is for a corvette, costs 46$ from auto zone. Got 3 coats of paint on it, just have to fab up some mounting brackets and weld it together. less then 100$ in materials

I hate paying OEM prices. Are you interested in any stump work? Our stumper quit the biz so I need to come up with a new stump list. We just give the HO the names of people we trust and they do the contact.Rayco wanted 1200$ for a new muffler for the duetz diesel. This one here is for a corvette, costs 46$ from auto zone.

a muffler mad for a gas car might not flow the exhaust fast enough for that motor, diesels are usually very free flowing, non restricted mufflers

Cash is King ...
The tree in this video had one limb taken off by the line clearance crew (the one they could reach from their bucket) the owner asked why they didn't just take the tree down. He told me they offered to for $400 in cash on the spot. I doubt if any of that money was going back to corporate.
I did it for 3x that price.

For sure! My chipper it goes through the chute and out, direct piping to it. Stumper is gas, only 10 hrs on it so hopefully won't have to replace a muffler for years!

you are correct and I researched it fairly well. this was about as close as I could find to the factory muffler. their outside dimensions and innards are almost exactly the same

Nothing much east of Geauga Co. Some up along the lake and the eastern suburbs. Our old stump guy was a part timer who worked at GM Parma and lived on the SW side of Cleveland. Not sure how he made out coming this far out but he did nice work and everyone was happy. In the 3 years we used him I never met him or even talked to him on the phone. We just kept checking back with the HOs to make sure things were happening as they should and he always made people happy. Maybe that's why he got out of it
All contacts will be with the customer unless we have some work included in the bid and then we'll contact you.Email your name and contact number to [email protected] and we'll go from there.
Thanks,

Dude, your pictures are huge, they're slowing down my computer just trying to scroll through. I thought there was a size limit but have noticed a few peoples pictures doing this lately? They can be resized or set your camera to not such a high resolution.

Yes they do own the Bartlett tree experts and they also pretty much invented some of the first chippers. their a super power in the tree world. They have helicopters all around the world for line clearance let alone bucket trucks. they are by far the largest and will be forever i can't see how anyone could catch them.
Im not sure if they own Bartlett 100% tho
this is copied straight from Asphlund, the way its written makes you wonder if they just took all their line clearance contracts and left the residential end. Only thing that makes me think this is they still operate under their own name and the trucks to me always looked like drunk PEE green. we always did have nice equipment tho never had to drive a beater truck.
-Asplundh received a welcome influx of vegetation management specialists and equipment when the company purchased the line clearance operations of the F.A. Bartlett Tree Expert Company.
Scott Asplundh, with 20 years of experience in the field and Home Office, becomes president as Chris Asplundh, Sr. became the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.-

So thats 1200? as in twelve hundred dollars? For a muffler? Are they smoking crack?

Pruned storm damage out of 5 oak trees on one property, and met with 4 clients. Currently sitting down to some Dee Snyder and a bunch of bills that need to go out.
