This past Thursday. After I get more comfortable with the situation, a tree like this should take 10-15 minutes, assuming I only have to cut a couple limbs out of the way. This cut was around ~80' at around a 35' radius. From memory the top was ~3klb.

Me either. Can you post a link? I haven’t changed anything recently, I do see that’s an old thread/post.

What’s going to happen with the trunk/stump?

We've also added a rotating telehandler to our fleet, we have high hopes for it being a big improvement to our throughput of work.

Back in the 08 recession we were locally insulated a bit by a steel mill coming to town. Currently, an aluminum mill by the same folks is underway across the street.

We’re as busy as we’ve been since I partnered with another company making them a licensed brand of my company. They’re a young company with a strong marketing/lead funnel with a similarly aged owner that’s a fellow dance and soccer dad. He even bought his Nifty SD64 from me end of ‘23. It...

I tighten the chain after I put it back on after throwing it, usually from slap back chaining some whippy twig. Cool(ish) thing about the Milwaukee saws, they have an onboard aluminum scrench.

The length of the piece can matter more than it’s static weight.

Yesterday we did the first tree job with the new lift I ordred back in October, a Dino 92RXT. 92' vertical, 52' sidewards. It can be 70' up (Nifty SD64 max height) and 40' to the side (SD64 has a max of 42' of side reach) while still 40' to the side. Pretty sure it's going to be the cliche...

Out of curiosity, what are the terms on the loan? What's the HP rating of the 6.2L?

That's part of why I stopped climbing... but more from an efficiency perspective than a safety one. Hard to run two companies from a saddle, but it's fairly doable from a basket.
