    Orchard removal

    I recieved a call today to remove an orchard. The orchardist has become injured and insurance is on the hook for work he would usually do himself. There are 400-500 cherry trees/ acre x 8 acres = aprox 4000 trees, 2-3" dbh. The biggest jobs I've quote and done are about a week of work. The...

    Tangled up in my SRS & MRS approach...

    Very similar to mrs tip advance for me. Often I set a basal anchor to get a rough access to the canopy. Lanyard into the tree, untie the basal anchor (with help). Configure your climb line as a choker. I use a biner for quick advance, alternate between lanyard and choker climb line (or mrs)...

    For Canadians (WSIB alternatives?) anything out there?

    In BC, worksafeBC is not required as a sole proprietor. It is required for your staff. Prime contractors require it of subcontractors, as do many governments (municipalities, regional districts). I pay into WSBC for myself ("personal optional protection"), and for my staff, mandatory. Sent...

    Quoting: Mini vs employee

    I was thinking 400/day because this is aprox. what a staff runs, and when it comes to hauling brush, the mini beats staff. I rented also, here it is 250cad, plus the grapple, plus the additional truck/trailer to transport. The 1 truck solution is in the works. I guess I am comparing the mini...

    Quoting: Mini vs employee

    I am eager to complete this improvement, it is a logistical nightmare running 2x truck/trailer alone. I am taking a page out of @Serf Life setup. Also once the mini is more included in the basic level solo operation, it will become easier to quote. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Quoting: Mini vs employee

    This is what I'm confused about. Making decent margins is easy on small jobs. But it's as if I can only charge the same whether the job is medium or large. Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Quoting: Mini vs employee

    I only have casual/parttime work available for an employee, aprox 20000 cad/year. In the past I've been trying to boost the hours available, make a job for someone. That hasn't worked yet, so this year I'm trying to replace staff with mini as much as possible. If the job is fairly...

    Vermeer BC1800XL feed wheels not reversing

    Try cross wiring the switch to the forward/infeed circuit. And vice versa. If you have the opposite problem, its switch, if you have the same problem (won't reverse) it may be solenoid. Rule out switches, then solenoid. If it's not that, its likely wiring. If its wiring, take it to a shop...

    Costs vs profits (related to billing)

    I have a hard time making enough hours for staff, I generally only pay out $20,000/year. I've been trying to increase this to keep someone around, but this year I'm trying something different... I want to minimize staffing, find multiple casuals maybe. If I need staff, I charge a flat $300/day...

    Vehicle gear transport pic thread

    I was just looking around in town for some today, so not yet. I'll be sure to get some before taking it on the road though, I just made the ramp brackets this weekend. I saw a picture of your setup a couple years ago, saw the potential, basically copied it! Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk

    Vehicle gear transport pic thread

    The chip truck is always looking for extra gear storage, I have 2 belly boxes on the truck and 2 wheel fender boxes on the chipper. Still squishy in the cab though. The pickup has lots of room with the box side boxes plus the actual pickup box. My big improvement for this year will be putting...
