    Can You Make Money Planting Trees?

    Hey fellas, I run a tree service in NW Pennsylvania. I've got 4-6 guys on my crew plus myself. We mainly do removals and trimming. I'm starting to get into PHC. My question is if there's enough money in planting trees to make it worth it. I have clients ask fairly often if I plant and I've...

    Has anyone hear had experience with prevailing wage jobs?

    Hey guys, I got asked to bid a job for a neighboring township. It's about 4000' of "daylight", which was described to me as removing every legal branch, meaning every branch in the 33' right of way (16.5' from center on either side). They told me that I would have to pay prevailing wage if the...

I like my easy up lift but its slow on the ground and slow in the air. I've been eyeing up the nifty lift SD64 for jobs that I don't need the height or compactness of my...

    Whats a Work Comp company that will deal with a small tree service?

    My work comp company just dropped me. I've had them for two years, no claims. They tell me they don't want the exposure of insuring small tree services anymore. My payroll is around 100K/year, I operate in PA. Other work comp companies are telling me the same thing. Does anyone use a company...

    Intrepid KM100 vs. Giant 254 or other loaders

    I've been looking at articulating loaders for a few years, thinking about making a purchase this year for the tax write off. Anyone have any experience with the Intrepid KM100 tele? I just found out about this brand at the expo last week. They seem like they have a much smaller presence in the...
