    Anyone able to recommend a full Haas Knee ascender setup ?

    Get monkey bever suspenders. Monkey bever.com. get the climbing inovations saka. And get yourself a compact bull dog bone from surveyor on tree buzz. This is what works for me. -Will

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    I made this setup work for 2 years until I could afford a f550 chip truck. Almost tipped the truck twice and without airbags under the rear suspension it would be impossible. When loaded I would put about 90-100psi in the rear bags. We would dump about 3-4 times per day on large jobs. I still...

    Suspension seat on a giant 254T

    Nice definitely a good idea. Pictures? I'm hoping this winter to have my fab guy see if he can adapt a zero turn suspension seat onto the giant 254t possibly a skag seat. I'll post pictures if we get to that point.

    Suspension seat on a giant 254T

    Just wanted to ask if anyone replaced their seat on a giant 254t with a suspension seat or added a low pro suspension adapter under their oem seat. I believe this would make the machine much more enjoyable to operate and not feel like riding on a peice of steel all day. -Will

    Thoughts on Minimum Pricing for Small Jobs

    You should try online banking.. I haven't been to the Bank to deposited a check in over 6 months unless it's over $5,000 then you have to go in and deposit it.

    Does anyone use a levelled laser for hedging?

    @ colb that is correct. This was the initial height reduction and the next time we trimmed we charged probably $800.00 We don't do hedges on a regular bases so when we do them why not go all out and do the best job possible. This was for an existing client and we do all their tree work. We...

    Does anyone use a levelled laser for hedging?

    I used a powerful greenlaser pointer taped to a level. Had my brother stand on a ladder at the height I wanted to trim to. He just followed me around shooting the height of each cut and that took care of the difference in grade around the pool hedge. It was a pain in the ass but worked like a...

    Finished up the new truck finally

    A mini wouldn't be able to load over the top of the gates but a giant 254 teli will be able too. Around 6.5 ft tall.

    Finished up the new truck finally

    So here it is all finished up. I made the box tall enough so I can drive my giant 254t up 12" aluminum ramps and into the box. Its going to be a one rig tree care machine. It will pull a bandit 1390hd behind it. Sorry Venasnursery, not trying to hijack your thread. Btw venas, that's one bad ass...

    Finished up the new truck finally

    Good point. Generally we only run logos on the sides of the cab doors but a large peice of aluminum might look nice. Thanks for the advice!

    Finished up the new truck finally

    Alright, really looking forward to the build finishing up. This is it currently. It will have 4-4" toolboxes running underneath each side. Im in Mass and the truck is being built in Florida. Didn't have a chance to test drive the chassis before the build.
