    Company Day Rates for Customers-- thoughts

    I'd like to add that our hourly rate is contingent on steady production. I almost feel more responsibility to produce when working by the hour to give the customer what they paid for, and they appreciate it. I have never had anyone complain about our rates when they see what we can accomplish...

    Company Day Rates for Customers-- thoughts

    We do a few view jobs while i find it completely necessary to have a guy on the deck with a sena, and the homeowner is always onboard with it. The added efficiency is worth the price differential. And yeah, most people we do work for can't distinguish a maple from an oak and think any conifer is...

    Company Day Rates for Customers-- thoughts

    I always do view enhancement work by the hour. It is often times impossible to estimate exactly how much work it will take to achieve the customer’s desired view, and often difficult to know exactly what they desire. So often with view enhancement, you end up taking a tree down (or pruning a...

    Red Oak Drop

    Solid work for a young fella is all I can hope for :) , and I agree about being thorough and making a nice clean notch, the small bypass seen here at the very edge of the notch did not go in far enough to endanger the hinge from breaking.

    That's not what I have been doing at all. Now I am questioning your comprehensive reading ability.

    DON'T EVEN TRY IT!

    Of course I don't expect the uneducated to be responsible for knowing what they don't know. That's just stupid. But I do expect them to implement techniques at a pace congruent with their experience and understanding. That's what I did. Thanks to the tree veterans that post videos on youtube, I...

    DON'T EVEN TRY IT!

    No I have not. And I'm not making light of the the plight of those who have been seriously hurt or killed by one. My light hearted sentiment was more directed at your overzealousness nature. There is a vast difference between the brotherhood that is created when men (and women) work shoulder to...

    DON'T EVEN TRY IT!

    I don't care what a man posts on this forum. If I find what someone posts to be useful I may use it; if I find it to be too dangerous in practice, or above my skill set, I will not use it. The problem is not someone that posts controversial videos. The problem is someone attempting something...

    DON'T EVEN TRY IT!

    Since when does someone posting a video potentially incriminate them for something that may happen to someone else while acting on their own accord? What happened to personal responsibility? If someone doesn't feel comfortable performing a certain type of cut or any technique related to tree...

    Which Rope if any works best with X Rings

    Im finally gonna put some X Rings in the arsenal and was curious from all you guys out there (or Driver himself) if there is a type of rigging rope that works better, or one that I should stay away from when rigging with the rings. My instincts tell me that the Rings will provide enough of a...

    70 ton Crane removal over high tension wires

    We had a 14 year old aspiring videographer do the filming; the reason the filming stopped before the job was done was because he had to make it to science class:) I don't typically like to take the effort to personally film the jobs that requires my full attention.

    70 ton Crane removal over high tension wires

    Me, my crew, and my F250 Skidder...with a yellow blade. Biggest one was 48" dbh and was predominantly rotten on the butt. All around 120' tall and within ten feet of the 3 phase wires. We got the town to shut down the street for us, and we had the wires wrapped. I got em all down to about 60'...

    My favorite tool.

    Lol, my guys barely know what facebook is let alone treebuzz. I employ older guys cuz they work harder than the young ones. I have found that the sweet spot is between 40 and 55 ;) These words are for fellow business owners who can relate.
