    Dang, that’s lame. I like the pro.

    I like the RRP, are they not making anymore?

    Equipment Hauler

    @ATH yeah two trucks…. If I were to add a third it would be a chip truck, which I’m not quite sure I’m ready to dive into that deep end this season.

    Equipment Hauler

    That time of the year, I need to think about spending some money to reduce my tax burden…. I’ve been hauling my mini skid and ground pro in the dump trailer… it’s not an ideal setup, but it works. Loading the machine can get quite tippy, and sooner or later it’s going to be a recipe for...

    Vandals. Grrr!

    @Treezybreez i admire your cheerful optimism. Much better than the dark vulgar things I’ve typed out to only delete multiple times…

    Vandals. Grrr!

    That’s really brutal Tom sorry. That must’ve been really painful to witness/discover, ESPECIALLY as a tree person….. call me petty, but I would pursue this. In my eyes trees are assets/equity to a property’s value, this is no different than them chopping a hole in your siding.

    Skylining micro-chipper into forested work site...ideas.

    Does the terrain make it possible to just lower it in (at ground level) tethered to something?

    I rarely do.

    if you don't plunge cut

    Since there’s not much context, why was a plunge cut deployed here?

    I’ll look when I get back to the barn.

    Helmets - Pfanner vs. Kask

    The kask helmet I used was nice, but non of the components were replaceable…. Had the back band toggle thingy break (in my hands) during cold weather event, couldn’t replace it…. Whole thing had to go in the trash which seems really wasteful to me. Went protos and never looked back. Having the...

    @ATH I don’t know what they’re farming in your zone, but I’d be trying to pick up some farm hands looking to make extra money, or build a career beyond the farming. Farmer strength is about the only comparable to tree person strength I’ve found. Well, I did have a old stone mason working for me...

    Something I struggle with… I like to think of myself as an honest guy, who places high value on other people’s time and energy. It doesn’t feel right to me to pay someone “just enough” to get by.

    @ATH resort skiing anymore is a complete rip off, and the vibe has been eroded by overcrowding of entitled assholery… The people that still get after it (the type I’d want to recruit) you’d have a hell of a time convincing them to leave the mountains, and the lifestyle for the Midwest. I mean...

    My help makes considerably more than I pay myself currently. There is a bit of illusion in that though as I am paying myself very frugally while scaling the operation…..

    $20k chipper and chip truck eh? I think I’ll spare what’s left of my sanity….. I am at this crossroads currently, the next step for me is a big one, the acquisition of chipper and chip truck is not cheap at all, and I HATE debt (huge thing holding me back I know). Back to the topic of the...

    @Matias yes I agree, to a degree….. With only $17k total invested, yes you can make money (you clearly have) but, I’m sure there has been/still is some limiting factors hindering potential production/growth, and the capacity to take on certain jobs. When I say “barrier to entry” in the context...
