    Who do you use for insurance?

    Since it is winter and I have more time to think about the administrative side of things I've been thinking about my insurance. I don't have a problem with my insurance company and I have a good relationship with my agent. I guess I'm just wondering if there is any significant cost savings to be...

    Anyone try and keep their trucks out of the salt?

    I really like the bed on your truck. But I'm trying to figure out how it all works... Is it a flatbed with removable steel sides and an aluminum top on it? (Way to derail my own thread huh?) Lol!

    Anyone try and keep their trucks out of the salt?

    It seems like between spending time with the family, projects around the house, projects in the barn, and other things I managed to keep myself busy whether I'm working or not! And actually I thought about taking time this winter to study and maybe become a certified Arborist. I would also like...

    Anyone try and keep their trucks out of the salt?

    For the first time this year I'm pushing to try and keep my driving work trucks on salty roads to a minimum. Living in Northeast Ohio makes that quite a challenge. I know some guys who just shut down in the winter all together, but I don't think I can do that. I slow down a lot in the winter...

    Gehl al20dx mini loader SOLD

    Seems like you may want to change the title of your thread to say sold! By the way, it's working out great!:bananahappy: if I decide to sell it in a few years to buy a bigger loader it doesn't look like I'll have any problem doing that!

    Sonetics

    In talking to the Sonetics guys at tci expo it sounds like they are working on new technology that eliminates the base station. Unfortunately it appears to be a year or two out, but once out I think is going to drastically lower the price of getting a headset setup.

    Best Management Practices vs ANSI standards?

    I am wanting to start offering the service of cabling trees. I have some basic knowledge but wanted to learn a little bit more. What is the difference between the Best Management Practices, and the ANSI Standards booklets? I figure they are the place to go to learn about cabling... Unless anyone...

    Kask helmet clear face shield scratching easily?

    I am thinking about getting a Kask helmet. I like my current helmet's mesh face shield but was thinking about the Kask's clear or smoked shield. Seems like they would get scratches very easily by just riding around in the truck. Anyone use one?

    App or software for mapping customer locations??

    I am thinking that it would help my efficiency if I had a way to put pins on a map where estimates and jobs are located around my service area. That way I can have an easier time grouping things and be more efficient working certain areas without forgetting something. Do any of you use any...

    Mecanil 220 vs 280 grapple saw???

    Hopefully your crane can get taking care of there without too much jumping through hoops! I have a scanrico remote. It is the 400-series so I only have a 6 paddle controller. I have to flip a toggle switch to activate the grapple saw functions versus the jib functions. It was a little bit of a...

    Mecanil 220 vs 280 grapple saw???

    I have an effer 340. I have a 4 section main boom with a 3 section hydraulic jib plus one manual pull out. That is part of the reason my capacity is decent at the end of my jib. My boom is fairly short...

    Mecanil 220 vs 280 grapple saw???

    I have been running a 220 and am thinking about upgrading to a 280. It seems like there are enough times I am running out of bar length. My crane is rated for 1600 lbs on the pullout jib. What are you guys running and what do you think?

    How much time for tci tradeshow?

    I think I am going to try and go to tci this year. If I am just doing the trade show should I plan on two days? I like to browse and talk, but was wondering if I would be better off book a hotel and giving myself a second day?

    Anyone have a Morbark stump grinder? Are they any good?

    I would prefer any grinder to have 60 or more hp. But would consider a 44hp diesel if the price was right.

    Anyone have a Morbark stump grinder? Are they any good?

    Yeah, I read it one point that the hydraulic drive systems were very inefficient. But supposedly they fixed that? The rest of Morbark's stuff seems really good, I guess I would be sort of surprised if they made really lousy stump grinders...
