    Whats your most profitable way of disposing of/selling wood, chips, and debris?

    Look into a biomass plant in your area. We have a biomass plant that will take all of our chips, as long as there is no rakings or wood chunks. $17 bucks a ton is what they pay. Usually average $90 bucks a load.

    Arbortec or Southco?

Just wondering if people have a preference with Arbortec or Southco. Ive used both in the past, and from...

    Best Chip Truck in your opinion

    We definitely have plenty of hills around my area. I only have a bandit 200xp for a chipper at the moment. So there isn't huge chipper weight to worry about now. There is the chance I will upgrade, but need to build a sugar house first.

    Best Chip Truck in your opinion

    I am looking at trying to buy a bigger chip truck come spring. I have a F350 now, and want to look into something bigger. I need it to stay under CDL weight. Ideally it would be big enough to hold two cords of wood when not being used for a chip truck. Removable top, and L boxes. Any thoughts...

    Cab-Over Bucket Truck

    I've been in the market for a used rear mount for a while, prefer a 75' elevator. From recommendations from just about everyone on here I'm staying far away from Tri-State Forestry and Schmiddy's Equipment. Not once have i heard or seen a review that that they were good! Recently I saw a...

    Tree Waste

    No mulch markets around us. i don't know anyone around here grinding chips for mulch. Even when I was in CT near Hartford we could dump chips for free and they would turn them to mulch. Never heard of guys getting paid to dump chips and getting paid for mulch here in the Northeast. Then...

    Anyone using HomeAdvisor or Similar company to get work?

    It is very rural. No stop lights, although we do have one blinking light! Never thought about nhpr. I've gotten a few of "hits" or leads and won about 50% and most of the jobs have been in the 1-5 grand category. Which for the 17-34 i thought was fair. Granted I'm not getting more than one or...

    I recently have subscribed to a company called Home Advisor. Home Advisor gets people to sign up for their company and then puts them in contact with people in the correct industry, whether it be tree work, landscaping or any service really. They charge anywhere from $17 a lead to $34 a lead...
