    Gas or Diesel HD pickup?

    What did you end up paying for it? Looks like a sweet truck.

    Whats your comms unit of choice?

    So I ended up with the Sena smh10rd. They are really tough to find this time of year, I guess. I have them, now I just need to install. Looks pretty straight forward but does anyone have installation tips with pics please. A friend told me to heat up a coat hanger to make the wire holes in the...

    Whats your comms unit of choice?

    Sorry if this is a duplicate thread. I couldn't find it if there is one. Anyone have a review on the tufftalks? I like the idea of being able to use them when needed and take them off when not. Thanks for your thoughts.

    Bad Day

    I dont know much about this one. It has been all over the news up here. I like the shiny, unscratched construction type hard hats on the crew. Draw your own conclusions. I googled the company to find miserable reviews. http://turnto10.com/news/local/crane-crashes-into-north-smithfield-house

    Interesting response growth.

    That is too funny. I literally just had the same thing happen to me last week. Customer is very attached to the cherry and was asking me about the roots. I was a bit cautious as I had never seen anything like it before. What is your management plan? Just monitor?

    Looking to Place Young, Trained, Rockstars

    I will share all of this with any kids that have promise. I agree that education is paramount to improving the industry as a whole. This is one of the huge reasons I decided to go into teaching. The younger we can open their eyes to proper arboriculture the better our chances of retaining them...

    Great feedback. Thanks. We encourage the kids to to to the New England TCC and depending on where it is located, sometimes we can get them to go.

    Looking to Place Young, Trained, Rockstars

    I will absolutely pass along any opportunities. Thank you for the offer. In an average class of 14 we are lucky to get 4-5 to continue into the field or college. That is why we are trying to address this issue. Thank you all for your help

    Looking to Place Young, Trained, Rockstars

    If you google Bristol County Agricultural High School we will come up. It is currently getting switched and updated so sorry if it sucks. I have gotten a few of them to venture away but it is a hard sale on a few fronts. First to find housing for someone on such a short term is a tough ask...

    Looking to Place Young, Trained, Rockstars

    So I wanted to reach out to you all to see if you can help me solve a problem that I face on a regular basis. As many of you know, I run one one of if not the only 4 year arbor training programs for high school kids in the country. The school is located in Dighton, MA and we pull kids from all...

    Hauling purchased trailers across states

    The no plate option is only allowed in some states. I bought a trailer from a dealer in RI last fall and they said no plate was fine but not so much in MA. I went with a plate off another trailer and dont act like a rabbit and the fox wont chase.

    Vermeer Mini skid steer

    I find it all depends on your market. I am grateful that my market is very forgiving about turf damage as long as it is communicated in advance and price options are offered. Some customers are picky about their lawn and they want it left pristine, that's fine just as long as they are willing...

    A buddy of mine spent a s#÷*t load of money with Bobcat of RI (2 new 20"+ chippers and a new grinder) over the past 3 yrs and every single peice had major issues. He has had nightmares with their service dept. and results were shite. He had to have it fixed elsewhere and pay the bill. He said...

    Bed liners

    So I just bought a new pickup and it does not have a bed liner. I was thinking a spray on as opposed to a drop in. What are your thoughts on one vs the other? If you like a spray in which type? I know there are two major brands, line-x and rhino liner. Which do you prefer? Thanks for any...
