    owner operator lifestyle

    I don't know if I've ever related more to a post on here. Thanks for saying what I'm thinking a lot of the time. I just moved to an entirely new area due to my wife getting a promotion so now I'm starting over, or maybe not. Might just sell everything.

    Fuel saver option? Worth it?

    I have a 2016 Bandit 1390xp with a Cat tier 4 diesel and when I asked Bandit about setting the timer on the fuel saver, I was told that they recommend not using it on these diesels in order to avoid regen. problems with the dpf system. Best to letter rip I guess, at least with the engine I have...

    The Arduous Pack Test

    I’m not on a crew. Not yet anyway. I took it thinking I would get my chipper signed up as a resource but then I’m learning that I need a three man crew, with each person having their RT 130 and all of the required PPE. I don’t think I’ll be able to find that in my rural area so it was an...

    The Arduous Pack Test

    I did it this winter for the 1st time ever. I went from months of couch (no work all winter) straight to the test and I passed, with a couple of minutes to spare. It helped that I was able to chase a younger guy as he set the pace. Flat pavement for my test. I was sore for 3 days afterwards!

    How hard do you work? (And for how long?)

    A friend gave this to me as a joke but it's honestly about where I'm at usually

    New Business Hauling Setup/ Chip v. Chipless

    I vote chipper as well. Probably because that's all I've ever known really. Worked here and there very briefly with people with a dump trailer and it always just seemed second rate to me. However, good luck finding a decent used chipper that won't break the bank in this market. Dump trailer is...

    Sales, bidding, estimating: what's your style?

    This is such a great thread! I've been an arb for about 20 years and the last two years I've been in business for myself. I used to bid for a company that I cilmbed for for maybe 2-3 days a month, but now bidding has never been more important since it's just all me. I'm pretty much the sole job...

    Challenges of diet for day workers who overwork

    I heard a phrase a while ago that suits me really well and describes my eating patterns - "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, dinner like a pauper"

    Free Buff from TreeStuff shipped in large box.

    So I ordered some winch line which is back ordered until mid February or so (hopefully not longer). TS emailed me saying my order had shipped! Exciting! Maybe they made a mistake or got the line in early. Looking closer at the email reveals that they just shipped a free buff/headsock thing. The...

    Body care

    Something else to add to the no sleep discussion- Go to your doctor and ask about a sleep study. I've had some regular insomnia for the past several months and was finally fed up and mentioned it to my Dr. during a routine physical. He suggested a sleep study and the results were surprising to...

    Seed cone collecting

    Can we revive this ancient query? I'm looking into a Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Forest Service and one of the services needed is seed cone collection. Have any Buzz board members done this that are willing to share some details?

    Husqvarna 592 xp

    Those guys were not kind to this saw, from the perspective of not really keeping an open mind it seemed. The vibe I get on lots of YT and IG "influencer" stuff is that if it's not a 661 or 500i dripping in West Coast Saw stuff, it's garbage. I have a 572 and really like it. Will be getting the...

    Municipal planting contract - enforcing specs

    I enjoyed a nearly 6 year career as an urban forester/tree inspector/work coordinator/plan examiner with a major municipality. We had great leadership and a lot of smart and dedicated arborists on staff. That city planted nearly 1000 trees per year in a spring and fall session. It was part of my...
