    Are the laboring trades in decline?

    We currently have been employing local to our community college kids. These are kids graduating with Urban Forestry degrees. They have been good so far.

    Lease vs Finance equipment...Thoughts?

    We finally got to the point where I'll basically only consider new trucks. Obviously is the right used truck or equipment is available I'll take it.

    New Hitch for the Hitch Hiker X and other things.

    No I never did. Honestly I don't need to. If people like it and it runs well for them that's awesome. It's just kinda cool someone remembered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ethics in Business

    Had an old lady stroll out on us last week while doing a small crabapple prune. Internally I always have the reaction what is she going to want. It's just my instant reaction. Can't we just work in peace? And what do they want for free? Well I'm a super nice guy. I'm willing to help a person...

    New Gas Chippers how are they?

    I believe there is only one gas engine option. V8. So idk what they are new. Ours was a rental/demo unit. 2017 model. I think ours was $48k. I honestly don't know if it was a good deal. But new diesel is like $75k I believe. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
