    I love being “A Well Known Member”

    Is anybody dumb enough to buy a tree service?

    Yeah for sure! A company is a company. It might make sense on many levels to buy out competition, for reasons not the least of which is buying equipment for pennies on the dollar and still being able to write it down! Then you get a staff that is already trained and an infrastructure in place...

    Leasing my stump grinder

    At what point would you consider the debt cleared? What if the person is not available to grind for a few days? What if the machine breaks? I see some issues with it being practical, not impossible though?

    Figure 8 for 1/2" rope?

    For what my advice is worth I use a rescue 8 all the time with every size rope up to 5/8” with no issue.

    Pricing

    But to be fair, I am in Canada- I don’t have a clue what the rate is in the USA. Or even how the system functions there.

    Pricing

    Right! Some do pay a ton in WCB coverage. I believe we started like everyone at 18 percent if I remember correctly? That figure goes up if you have an incident, and down over time if you do not. As luck, or just paying attention to detail, would have it our business is claim free for 15 years...

    Absolutely! I’m sure it will be fun to use. Hopefully I don’t have much bad to say about it?

    Yes, I suppose? Been busy in other places doing other things. Glad to be back though, good group of people here.

    So to be clear, that’s 8 dollars for every hundred paid to each employee. Better be factoring all that shit together and also your expected profit per man.

    Friction device

    cool looking devices, The pipe thickness has lots to do with heat dispersion, one of those looks mighty thick! The reason most manufacturers use thin walled stuff is to bleed of heat caused by enormous amounts of friction. When you by a device they have tested the design, plus steel and rod are...

    falling challenge big tulip through deck

    Oh it can be done! However, it might need to be done in a few takes! As I said the cut to be used is a fairly tight conventional which will need to be loaded up via rope from down the hill. The down side is the energy goes both ways, so strap in fairly well for it! Remember the tree pushes back...

    falling challenge big tulip through deck

    the only way to get a jump cut is to use a fairly tight conventional so tension builds up. It will pop! It is a bookoo risky cut cuz it can hang and break instead! I'm not sure I would favour it over a zipline/ rig out?
