    Looking for ways to reduce quote time

    I know some municipalities solicit removal and pruning bids based on a per inch rate. you may contact some folks in that end of the business or try to find contractors who have worked contracts like this for some info. utility arbs also may have some insight to something along these lines, just...

    Do you really hold the chainsaw with both hands ?

    the husky prototype battery back pack with extendable saw should help. not sure if they're pursuing that still though

    Looking for ways to reduce quote time

    I find that gathering a lot of info before the bid to get a good idea of what you're getting into speeds things up a lot. The most important part for me is to qualify the potential customer. Saved a lot of time and headache by skipping jobs that don't sound like a good fit. But it sounds like...

    multi stem trees

    I thought the point of having clear definitions of terms was for clear and accurate communication of concepts and ideas. If we can't all agree on pruning terms and what they mean what's the point of havin em? People are just supposed to infer that by thinning one actually means to say reduce?

    Hacking A Young-ish Ash Tree (Apparently)

    You make the first reduction cut that's the a cut smaller reduction cut on the lateral you reduced to initially is the b cut. My basic point is-it's obvious that you are well intentioned and "right" in your approach according to industry standards and there was a time that I would have spec'ed...

    Hacking A Young-ish Ash Tree (Apparently)

    I'm trying to get a feel for where the industry is at among other things. There was a time when I pruned all sorts of trees in a similar manner as the vid then went back years later and realized it really didn't do shit. If you want to have a lasting effect you gotta be bold. It will need...

    Hacking A Young-ish Ash Tree (Apparently)

    It will sprout at the cuts almost guaranteed. why no b cuts? sounds like you're going to inject it too starting that tiny tree on a lifetime iv of pesticides?

    Hacking A Young-ish Ash Tree (Apparently)

    if subordination was the goal not enough was taken off and no b cuts were made all this will do is create more maintenance aka sprouts with no lasting results those laterals will resume dominance. investing in a young ash like this must mean there is also the intention to put it on life support...

    Let's prune all the decurrent trees to be like excurrent ones send forth the army of arbortionists certified and badged so later their friends the traqers can come by to drill and kill as they were taught to determine the fate of all woodies in a 2 hour seminar we gotta keep this industry going...
