    In 6 years all the equipment will be old antiques covered in rust. Haha Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it.

    Thanks, those are 12' ramps from genyhitch.com That's the key to the whole operation. The chip truck is always loaded, either with chips or machinery. Super efficient!

    I appreciate the kind words. Makes it all worth while to share my success with a family member.

    Thanks, My brother mainly operates the giant. I'm the one in the tree and lift. We make a good team when I'm able to stay out of his hair. To be honest, I wouldn't have nearly as much fun if I wasn't working with him.

    Thanks. We like that size drill but sometimes on big leaners it's not enough. It will just start clicking. If we used the grcs more we would probably get the larger drill for it.

    My brother has been filing us and our work for 6 years. This is the culmination of his filming and editing skills. It's the coolest sizzle reel tree video out there IMO I figured you guys would dig it!

    Avants offset boom does help with visibility over the multione/vemeer. I think multione is going through a midlife identity crisis.

    Visibility is much better in the avant. Visibility is best on the Giant. With the Giant you sit on the back so you can articulate the front and And have total visibility of the grapple and what you're picking up.

    Avant Thread!

    Another Thing to mention in regards to the Avent is the powder coat green paint is horrible. It's literally so thin you can chip it off with your fingernail. We love the machine but there are some shortcomings The giant powder coat paint is far superior.

    Avant Thread!

    Just get yourself a 254T/G1200 giant and be done with it. No paper thin plastic panels to worry about. The joystick with power rotation is very intuitive on the Giant. Far superior to the Avant IMO I own both a giant 254T /G1200 and an Avant 860I. We love our giant and use it everyday. The...

    Bid that tree!

    We have started doing a flat day rate. People have been more receptive than I initially thought. Repeat customers usually know our work and don't have a problem with this way of bidding. Saves a lot of time when it comes time to send out the quote. I tell them we expect the job to take x...

    Should be an interesting next 1.5 years before the election. Kind of a make or break situation if you ask me.
