    How many hours do you guys think is a lot for a used machine?

    Gehl 540 vs Whacker Neuson wl30

    Do you ever find a height to be an issue with the cab? Also, maybe an off-the-wall thought but are any of the other windows easily removable? Such as pop them out of the frame with the gasket? Just thinking about windows breaking when a branch whacks them...

    Gehl 540 vs Whacker Neuson wl30

    I would only be looking at used machines. What do you guys think about having a cab for tree work? It seems like there's high potential for breaking windows...

    Gehl 540 vs Whacker Neuson wl30

    I'm thinking about upgrading to a larger articulated loader. I believe these two loaders are very similar although it looks like the Wacker only comes with a cab? Anybody use a loader with a cab for tree work? Also, any overall thoughts between these two loaders?

    Stihl 261 vs Husky 550xp

    I am not interested in starting any brand Wars, I've always been a Stihl guy and love my 261 but the time has come to replace it. I read a lot of reviews where guys really, really like the Husky 550xp. Since our 50cc saw is the most used saw we own I want to get the best one I can. Is one of...

    Heavy duty dump trailer, tri singles vs. tandem axle dually

    I'm thinking there may be a heavy duty tag along dump trailer in my future. (To tow behind the tree-mek!) It looks like the tandem duallies are more heavy duty, thus making for a much heavier trailer. Not necessarily a problem when towing behind a big truck but if looking for more versatility...

    Ideas for Creative / Profitable ways to use our by-products

    What is actually involved in turning wood chips into mulch? Do you just have to run them through a grinder? Is seems like the yards around here that make mulch have an awful lot of big expensive equipment. Apparently that means you can afford big and expensive equipment if you make mulch...

    Ideas for Creative / Profitable ways to use our by-products

    I was thinking we could put together a thread with creative or profitable ways to use the by-products we create in this industry. As well as sharing experiences we have had good or bad trying to make money with our by-products. I assume for most of us the main by-products are chips and logs...

    Who do you use for insurance?

    Thanks! I called Rick, he is a straight up good guy! He told me that the rate I was getting from my current insurance company was a good rate. Then he proceeded to chat with me for 15 minutes about some different things that he suggested I do, and things I should keep in mind with my insurance...
