Lol. Must be some real tight access.
What chipper and mini are those in your pic squad? I'm just curious because those mini skids are starting to grab my attention

Chipper is a Bandit 65xp and the mini is a Vermeer S600tx.
It's nice to have a small chipper for some of the areas that I work. The lighter chipper is easier to move on hills and narrow enough to get into some tight places with the mini.
I doubt you'll regret getting a mini. They're pretty awesome for tree work.
Ah, an entire week of rain beyond today. Sweet. Busy all week for a change too. Getting the arm back in full service today. Couple of real retards on the ground (literally).. some good sized trees.. should be a real blast.
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.

Right off the the bat this morning I get a call from this old fuzzcow we did a job for last month saying she is taking $235.00 off the bill for "driveway cleaning." Claims we got oil on her driveway. We weren't even parked there.
Hiiyaahhh, ************!!!

We so had this. Amazing how much one can do with a couple of less than stellar candidates in a pinch. Sometimes I hate my job, but it is a skill, this tree servicing (or)deal.. or maybe a form of insanity.. not exactly sure on that one yet, to be honest. At any rate, it sure does have its moments, doesn't it.
Nice to be back in the air anyway!!

If you had too much work to handle, would you recommend jobs to other tree guys?
Right now, I've got just about all I can handle and more is coming and I'm about to leave town for a few days making it worse.
I like to keep customers happy and get their jobs done in a timely manner. Is it better to tell them they have to wait or have them call someone else, assuming more jobs are coming anyway?

I let my clients know beforehand and change my voicemail to reflect my absence as well.
I look at it from the old story of " if you let something go and it doesn't come back, it wasn't really yours to begin with".

It's surely a better year from last
I just let them know I'm booked for 2-3 months and I will put them on the schedule. If they are willing to wait (which most do) great if not they'll call someone else. If I call them early I look even better. Some customers that want lakeside work have to wait till the lake freezes, so they could be waiting quite a while. I know a guy that tells everyone 2 weeks and then complains about people calling him upset that he isn't there.
No, i dont give away work. Maybe hire a couple more guys and get another crew going.
