    New MS400c

    I’m not sure on that end. There’s a stihl chainsaw Facebook group. Guys from all over the world have been raving about them. Each will post if they see one in a dealer or if they grab them. For the most part these saws have been flawless.

    New MS400c

    Our dealer has around 100k in saws on order. Dealership just changed hands as the owner retired but it’s been around 35 years. Excellent place. They do husky and stihl. Ordered a 500i myself about a month ago. They had 15 of them on order and I was number 11. Yet to get a call it was in. If you...

    Mini skid steer transport

    We went with the 36” and not the 44” I believe was the second option.

    Mini skid steer transport

    We just ordered a mini skid steer Monday. Bobcat mt-100. It’s going to be six weeks for delivery. We’re a firewood business we don’t cut trees. We already have a 14’ dump trailer. It is my partner and I. Looking at another trailer. We do work with a few tree services where we have to go and grab...

    Firewood Business

    It was pretty wild. I was in Syracuse a few hours away that day and it was 63. Back home a few hours later and never seen anything like it. That storm kept me sustained for a few years until my buddy started climbing. We have a variety of options now.

    Firewood Business

    I’m on here learning all about tree work and machines. I have a firewood business. I’ve been doing it in western New York since we had a mid October ice storm in 2006 where we got 23” of heavy ice/snow that just decimated the area. Last two years took on a partner and started adding equipment...

    Handling add ons

    I have a firewood business. Back when things were slow I used to advertise wood splitting. I don’t anymore but still on occasion I get a few calls a year. I charge $30 an hour with a two hour minimum. Then minimal gas and oil is on me also. I don’t exactly want their stuff that’s sitting around...

    What's the most interesting thing you've found in a tree?

    Had a brick that killed my bar/chain in about a 48” silver maple tree at the base. Very last cut. It was disintegrated at the end and no way of knowing it was there in the center.

    Preparing for unknowns (accident insurance)

    One more thing I didn’t mention on long term disability policies for personal use. If it’s done through a business if you’re able to get three people to sign up it will waive underwriting requirements. That would work for bigger companies on here. It divides the expected risk. Even if say a...

    Preparing for unknowns (accident insurance)

    It is a business overhead policy. It will cover the expenses of the business in case of a disability. It doesn’t replace personal income though. Just your payments or costs that you can show as a general part of the business. Most likely rent or a mortgage, utilities, and a slew of other things...

    Preparing for unknowns (accident insurance)

    They generally will do around 60-70% for a policy like that or a personal disability one. They don’t want to over-insure and give you no reason to not go back to work. What I would suggest is you find a non captive agent. That means they can write a number of companies. Examples of captive...

    Preparing for unknowns (accident insurance)

    Haha yes! I live between buffalo and Rochester now but I’m from niagara county, and where I do most of my wood. Got into it after the October storm. That provided work for a long time and still is for a lot of people.

    Preparing for unknowns (accident insurance)

    First time posting. Just found this website last night searching for mini skid steers. Just out looking. I sell insurance and mostly supplemental benefits. I have a firewood business separately that I’ve been doing for around 13 years. Hope to transition to a form of that in the next few years...
