    How Do I Handle Reporting Taxes & Borrowed Start Up Money?

    What I'm gathering so far this morning is that basically the loan is a liability like an asset, and the losses are carried over to future taxes I'd pay on profitable years. Does anyone else have this?

    How Do I Handle Reporting Taxes & Borrowed Start Up Money?

    I had ran a tree service for 6 years before closing. The market was so twisted by regs, fees, and politics that it could not be done legally....at least not in the residential sector. The tax house wants me to report. I didn't report because I never made any money. Partly I was mad, and...

    What's my Chevy dump truck worth?

    Re: What\'s my Chevy dump truck worth? I think that these old gold pots can be considered money pits like some of you are saying, but at the same time the customer has to be talked to. It might take a while longer to sell the truck, but somebody is going to see the point of what you are...

    What's my Chevy dump truck worth?

    Re: What\'s my Chevy dump truck worth? I talked to a mechanic who told me that with all of the new cooling parts on it it's not likely at all that it's more to do with temp reading sensor than the engine itself. I'm taking it in tonight to get looked at.

    What's my Chevy dump truck worth?

    What\'s my Chevy dump truck worth? The truck is a class C (gvw 14000 lb) C-30 1 ton dump truck - 1985. The box is 12' x 6' x 8'. I'm thinking about selling it, and using the equity for other equipment. I bought the truck for $1200 2 years ago. I put in a rebuilt trany - $900. I re-arched...

    ## Fan Palm Trunks fit Hi-Side End Dump Trailer?

    The trucking company said these trailers have roughly 40k lb net payload. I figure each 30' trunk that goes in the trailer weighs roughly 4000lb. At 10 trunks per trailer that amounts to exactly 40,000lb. Does anyone think any different about the weight of these fan palm trunks?

    5' DBH Eucalyptus is killing my chains!

    Re: 5\' DBH Eucalyptus is killing my chains! That's gold advice, Logic. What would I do if I were going to try to fix my bar's "guide rail" problem with over spacing? Would a vice work, or would a rubber mallet?

    5' DBH Eucalyptus is killing my chains!

    Re: 5\' DBH Eucalyptus is killing my chains! [ QUOTE ] Yeah, I'm kinda wondering about that bar. In my experience, the longer the bar, the easier it is to damage, and a bad bar can ruin some chains quick. If your chain is throwing chips but seems to fight sinking into the wood, the bar might be...

    ## Fan Palm Trunks fit Hi-Side End Dump Trailer?

    I'd assume about 8-10 trunks averaging 2'x2'. I think the trailers will do 60,000 lb. I'll check tomorrow.

    5' DBH Eucalyptus is killing my chains!

    Re: 5\' DBH Eucalyptus is killing my chains! This is green clean wood. It's just tough on chains especially crosscutting it. I estimate it's 700 lb per 1 foot slab. The guy I'm subbing for has Just a weak little New Holland tractor to load this with, so it's chain after chain you know...

    ## Fan Palm Trunks fit Hi-Side End Dump Trailer?

    I was wondering if anyone is familiar with this kind of project hauling several fan palm trunks to the dump especially the Hawaii tree services. I have 26 fan palms without fronds on them all averaging 30' in height. About how many 30' long trunks will fit in one 32' long high side end dump...

    5' DBH Eucalyptus is killing my chains!

    Re: 5\' DBH Eucalyptus is killing my chains! Okay, after reading everyone's replies here, and reading several other threads on various websites mostly geared to logging and milling (I'm a buzzer though) I've gathered some info about the chains and the chain business. I hear that Oregon and...
