I’m interested in the Sena’s.

I would say 3 gallons of gas or diesel per hour @ $3.50 per gallon which is $10.50. Oil change every 200 hours would be less then $300 if you paid a muncipal worker to do it. So that would be 1.50 cents per hour Knife change, anvil replacement, and knife flipping is safely under $5 per hour...

Nice job Chris, I think teaching new tree workers is one of the most rewarding parts of the job. I like to get new climbers started with ornamental work, with mostly handsaws and pruners. I think it takes a solid year of chainsaw experience on the ground or in a bucket, before they are good...

Nice job! Be safe

Why not just climb the anchor tree and set your block. Seems like it’s worth it for peace of mind and a simple setup. Keep it simple.

Caddy pads and buckingham tree spikes for the last 25 years no complaints!

I've never used or seen someone use a chainsaw lanyard in a bucket truck.

We have had great luck with the Bandit 1590s and 18xps, which are the same chipper they just changed models #s. They are just under 10k pounds, and can chip 20 inch stuff. We have always gone with the John Deere engines, as they have worked great for us.

I'm using sterling ropes 1/2, and 5/8. Always used to use stable braid, but I like the sterling better!

I would have cut that limb back to the trunk. It’s unlikely that the stub will sprout growth with strong branch unions, so I would think a cut back to the trunk would be a better choice

Your general liability rate is based on claims history, payroll, and your volume of sales.

Root ball was still attached to tree once we cut 7-8 more feet off, we used the loader to push it up right.
