    Bucket truck price

    Seriously! Get to know as many farmers as you can! The longest drive to a dump spot is 10-15 min for us...usually under 10. They let us park trucks there too. We just hired new kid who grew up on a farm...knows even more farms/dump spots!

    Bucket truck price

    Hurricane with a grapple, now that's productive! I just succumbed to the fact an excavator is going to be on our shopping list soon. Let alone being able to use it with tree workbought a few other properties and they all are gonna need some excavator love. We rarely work where a whole tree...

    Bucket truck price

    A solid 12" (bandit 250xp) will cut the mustard just as well, my 1890 only has 120hp, so its not that much more productive then a same powered 12". Just make sure to get a chipper with the throat/feed wheel opener upper/crush it option!

    I have decided where I want to go with my business

    I work within 30min for 95% of my jobs. Only reason I travel up to and no further is a very wealthy lake area. Charge accordingly. Basic business plan ideas are...figure out your costs and expenses. Then figure out the costs and expenses of a tree service doing the exact same thing, but with...

    Best used 18" chipper

    Bandit 1890 intimidator! It's actually a 19" and has lot's of options...one being under 10,000lbs. Morbark would be my other choice.

    Had to share this knucklehead

    It's not his fault he is that dumb. I feel bad for him, at the same time I'm laughing at him.

    I have decided where I want to go with my business

    Word up! Been at it for about 10 years now. Just figured out where I want to go in the next 15 in order to "mature". Got a family going on with a 3 and 6 year old who want to work with me as of now, or fly helicopters. Retirement does not even make sense to me, I love what I do and don't ever...

    New Toro Tx 1000 Wide Track

    Depends where you live. Shitty technology in the beginning gave em all a bad name. We have gasification units around here that do not smolder or smoke.

    New Toro Tx 1000 Wide Track

    He only has a 12k capacity (legally). Crane can pic 7k next to it. The bed is 20'. He has short 2' removable side stakes. He is overloaded, like every load...farthest he usually has to go is 30min. Most of the time around 10-15min. Super sweet when we get into pines. We leave them in 20'...

    New Toro Tx 1000 Wide Track

    Season them, mill them, season some more, then kiln dry them, then plane and sand one side nice...then we will talk. Until then, all you got is junk! See how that goes for you on Craig's list! Lol

    Discipline

    There is a principle of management similar to manifest destiny. Many levels to this, but simply... If you trust your employees, they will know it and will work when you are not there. you will catch them working and it will reinforce your trust. If you do not trust your employees, they will...
