whadja do today?

[treeman82]

Looked at 3 jobs this morning, with a 4th in the afternoon, got at least 2 of them. Nothing fancy, but I'll take the work... dismantle a sugar maple for a friend's brother, hazard prune a couple of bigger sugar maples, remove a butternut, and lastly some preservation err keeping death at bay for a bunch of junk trees on a construction site. The people were working in this place for at least 4 or 5 years. I recall back in 08? the husband called me down there to give a price removing an oak tree, but I was too expensive. Today the mrs. saw me finishing up a job down the road, asked me to come by. They ripped the house apart, completely re-graded the property and now that it's all done they want to try to save the trees that remain.

Aside from that, finished the job that was started yesterday... the lady was there, and boy is she losing her mind. My friend tried to get his bucket in there, couldn't do it with all the wires going to the houses. We are gonna get a line drop in the fall after the people leave and bang it out quickly.

What do they run price wise?

Start at $93,000 Canadian, man after putting it through its paces all week, it's simply awesome ! We did so many backyard hard to access trees this week that weren't climb able and dead with ease! Fits through a 36" gate .... Yeah love it!

Deevo: Where is the nearest dealer? Those lifts are WAY cool!

They are in Quebec north of Montreal but are trying to get a dealer network going through Canada, I am trying to hook them up with some big companies in Ontario.

Get a lift, I will never ever go back to a bucket ! I have been averaging 7$ a day on diesel with it, $15-20 to tow it around. Way better then putting a couple hundo into the bucket. Still gotta climb some to stay sharp but I'm doing a lotta sketchy trees that should not be climbed anyhow !

Wedging dead tops over today, some falling also. All dead trees.

I could never be a ground-worker, having previously been a climber....watching that $hit, knowing full well whats going on up there. I swear I couldn't bear it. Not a nice place to be. Especially when there's already dead trees lay all over the place....fallen on their own accord. Ive been getting away with it. View attachment 314984View attachment 314985

I am undecided whether I like them or not , I wanna see them stand the test of time doing tree work , if they are still reliable with some age , well maybe ......... My son can buy one . For now I am gonna stay with the tried and true.:msp_biggrin:

Ha ha ok... You sound like one of the old firefighters when I first started who didn't want to embrace change but times are a changing and new technology and equipments a good thing! These are built very well and I feel safer in one then a bucket, way less maintenance also! Big thing to think about!
